I noticed that with full-swings, the base of my right index finger gets really sore/bruised. What am I doing wrong? I am using a Vardon grip.

grip to tight? and do you take monster divots on hard ground, but that should hurt your wrists more than finger.

Nope, no monster divots. I'll loosen up the grip though!

If you can take a picture of your grip (and your hands in general), so we can see how your hands are placed on the club that might help the diagnosis.

    • Day 555 - 2026-04-09 Played 17 holes (we skipped 6 to pass a group letting us through). Hit more good shots than I was expecting. 😄 
    • Day 233 4-9 flow drill while focusing on better hip/chest rotation. Used mirror. 
    • Comment:  Huh, I practiced regularly until 1/31, got busy in Feb-Mar (as I knew I would), and got reinspired today.  I have done some intermittent practice in the past two months, but let's get back on the daily practice wagon. Day 1, April 9 2026.  I worked on some pelvis turn limiting drills, doing one for several iterations before context switching to hit a few balls slowly (trying to retain that feeling), and repeating.
    • I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.
    • Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast.
