Arnie left out a third possibility. What looks like ferrule creep can be
the first sign of a loose head. Check this out carefully.
* If you were good about aligning the grip, start by looking to see if it
is still aligned with the head. If not, the head is probably loose.
* Put the shaft in a vise (in a clamp, of course), and try to twist the
head off.
Either of these tests should tell you if a loose head is the problem. If it
is, take the head off and re-glue it. Be sure to prep both the shaft tip
and hosel. Also dry-fit it to make sure the ferrule is at the proper level
so there won't be a gap.

If the ferrule has truly moved on the shaft the cure is not to just fill
the gap.
For ferrule creep the cure is to gently warm the ferrule and move it away
from the hosel, clean and prep the shaft under the proper hosel position,
apply epoxy and move the ferrule back to the proper position.
If it's a gap from careless assembly you can fill the gap by taking some
ferrule "lace" (the stuff left from ferrule turning) and place it in a
small glass or metal container and add acetone, stir until it becomes a
paste and fill the gap with the paste. When dry turn the ferrule and wipe
with acetone for final polish.
