 Glenn: How old were you when you started playing? David: I caddied for my father and then took up the game when I was 14. As a kid, I worked on my father’s wine farm to make enough money to buy golf equipment and pay for golf. Glenn: How would you approach teaching? David: I’d first teach a good grip, stance and balance at address. Next I’d work on the mechanics of the swing. Glenn: What type of grip do you use? David: I use the overlapping Vardon grip. Glenn: Describe your grip strength. David: I hold with 60 percent of my gripping strength with both hands. Glenn: What are you currently working on? David: Turning the proper mechanics into an athletic swing. I’m also working on a solid top-of-the-back-swing position. Glenn: What practice advice do you have for golfers? David: Try to hit around 30 balls as often as possible to keep the feel. Practice a well-balanced setup and a well-balanced finish. Try to become a better putter.
