While interviewing golf legends for my book Playing with the Pros: Golf Lessons from the Senior Tour (1990), I arranged some of their answers into a separate chapter I called "Playing Clinic." Following are words of wisdom from some of the best players.
Bobby Nichols won 12 times on the PGA Tour, including the 1964 PGA Championship and the 1974 Canadian Open.
Q: What’s the best way of getting the correct grip on a club?

NICHOLS: Put the left hand on the club first so that you can lift it with just the index finger and thumb.
