This section is from the book "Golf For Women", by Mabel S. Hoskins. Also available from Amazon: Golf For Women.
Whether or not it is advisable ever to relax the grip of the right hand at the top of the swing depends upon the personal peculiarities of the individual. If a player is sufficiently supple to make a full swing without loosening her right hand, it is far better that she should do so. However, if the player experiences difficulty in getting the club around properly, she may perhaps relax the hold of her right hand a trifle, but must maintain her grip with her thumb and forefinger. Immediately the club begins to rise she must resume her hold with all her fingers or she will lose control of the club on its downward journey. From the moment the club begins its downward swing the player must concentrate all her strength in order to hit the ball effectually. She must not clutch at her club, nor make any violent or untoward movement, but, following the sequence of actions that she has already planned for herself, she must carry them out with all the energy of which she is capable. She must not let up for a fraction of a second until the ball is clear away and her club is well beyond the place where the ball lay.
