I was saving this bit because it is so anti-normal and I found it both humorous and an explanation of why Moe would fit.
Now to advance our course a bit more toward the act of hitting the ball, place two hands on the club in an accepted golf grip manner. I do not place the golf grip at the top of the priority list in the building of a golfswing. Now do not misquote me. Read that sentence again before quoting me. There is lattitude in the golf grip; there have been many varied styles of golf grip that have proved effective. We will now name and describe a few of them.
.....
All of these grips have proved effective for outstanding players. So, as you can readily see, there is far more lattitude in the grip than there is in the basic components and moves of the precise Golfswing. The productive teacher of the Golfswing never confuses style with basic law and always sharply delineates the difference to the pupil. Endless fruitless sojourns will thus be eliminated, accelerating the kinesthetic incorporation of the desireable moves and positions of the precise Golfswing.
.....
Few people can walk very well when their shoes hurt them, let alone dance in them. So by all means do not have the pupil in the pain of the strange golf grip (and an effective golf grip is indeed strange to the aspiring golfer) while they are attempting to learn the vastly more important moves and positions of the Golfswing.
So Bertholy has a clear sense of priorities and is not particularly concerned with grip. Personally he uses what he calls the "BERTHOLY-GRIP" (suprise, suprise) where he overlaps 2 fingers of the right hand.
