His grip, at first I thought it was a 10 finger but I can see it's an overlap.

That's what I'm seeing - also the left hand is fairly weak.

I agree with Kenny, Matt, and Rev. Actually I thought it was a 10 finger until a few minutes ago. But after closer inspection I realize it's an overlap.

Darn... I thought I had you hackers stumped and that Old Tom was a 10 finger man like myself. LOL

I thought it was an overlap grip because of his left hand trigger finger looks like it.  However, I can't figure out what it's overlapping.  I see 5 fingers of his right hand, and the left hand isn't overlapping any of them!!

 

Rev is right.  The left hand is very weak, but the right hand is very strong.  An odd combination.

only odd in todays golf world, very natural back then and a natural way kids and newbies grip the club initially.....until we drum it out of them  :lol:  :rolleyes:  :P  ;)

It's either a ten finger grip or he has 11 fingers, it looks like the index finger on his left hand is overlapping, but there's nothing there to overlap unless he has an extra finger on his right hand. Otherwise he is just not even putting the index finger any where near the shaft.

Leave it to the Scots!   :D   

It also looks a little bit like the Natural Golf palm grip for the right hand like Moe Norman used later in his life.
