Ime on a golf resort in miami and I decided after the trauma i had getting on the range after about half an hour I had a huge blister on my rite hand (I am right handed) So I had to stop as the blister ripped open, So I was just woundeing do other people get the same or am i doing some thing wrong.

New found hobby!


Every time i take a break and start playing again i get blisters in the standard spots (normally left hand for me). I try to go easy on them the next couple of days and no more blisters for me the whole time...

If i go on golf vacation without playing much before i always "blister" myself up a couple of days ago hitting balls somewhere just to get it over with and have a blister/painfree vacation.

I've never gotten blisters, but I do have a callous on my right ring finger. When I first started playing, I would grip the club too tightly & that would wreak havoc on my hands. That might be your problem & it also might be related to the actual grips on your clubs--if they are worn, you'll likely grip the club tighter--if they are cords, it just may take some time to get used to them. Take it easy for a bit & as you play more, your hands will likely adjust. --LBB

You can plug up the sink (or get a bucket) and pee in it. Then soak your hands in it for a good 10 minutes. It sounds really gross but the minerals in the urine will get into your skin and really toughen it up. A fair amount of baseball players do this, especially in 3rd world countries where batting gloves are difficult to come by.

your grip might be too tight, grip loose like you are holding a tube of tooth paste with the cap open.

keep it loose and you should not wear a hole in your glove

Yes what he said, but i also get blisters sometimes to, but not sense i gripped looser

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.


For some other sports that involve a lot of friction on the hands (eg. windsurfing) I've made a makeshift protection bandage from duct tape. But it is essential to cut an additional small patch out out and stick it, smooth side up against the sticky part, where it will make contact with the blistered area, other wise you will have a sticky part agains the blistered skin and the results will not be very pleasant.

My right hand thumb-to-index finger has some decent club grip burn on it today, but it's a pleasant reminder of the last two days golfing.

I went to the range again to get my money worth of the all the balls you can hit for $10 alot better value than at home, and I now have a blister on my other thumb I really thing its the clubs I hired the grip has no foreignness as there the same as yesterdays! At least its not my own clubs giving me this problem. :)

your grip is too strong... this is a quick fix to play with blisters (you can put on before playing or after getting the blister.) medical adhesive tape. its the one that looks tan on both sides. tape look like its about 1mm thick and can strech. i've used it before and it helps a lot.

Not, blisters, but I cant anymore because callouses cover my hands and theres no room for blisters

I can count over 20 callouses on my hands, some small and some painful. But I have to tape my right and left ring finger when I play or they get very sore.

I have to cut them off every now and then, too.

So it looks like your options are either to loosen your grip or soak your hands in piss.
I’d have to say that I'd quit the game before resorting to wetting my hands with urine, even if it were my own. Seems… drastic.
Use waterproof first-aid tape to cover the blisters. And never urinate on blistered hands.

Regular band aids have a soft spot "built-in" the pad area (to soak up bodily fluids from the wound). 3M makes Nextcare(TM) brand which has extra "foamy" and soft material as the backing. (Disclaimer - I work for 3M). If you have access to a surgical supplies vendor, even better is Microfoam (TM) tape which is even thicker and softer, with no "pad". But the adhesive is for skin (like band aide types) and thus does not do any damage upon removal.

I use a band-aid everytime I play now. Just hurts too badly without. It's on the finger I interlock with on my RIGHT hand. Next to the pinky!

    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
