I've been practicing at the driving range recently. After hitting a whole bucket of balls (around 70 balls), I got a heat burn on a couple of my fingers.

Aside from the obvious (taking slower swings & holding the grip slightly less tightly), what are some ways to prevent heat burns? Will getting gloves help?

Depends on where you get it. Some people put sports tape around a spot on their finger. I have developed a callous on one of my fingers. I've seen a similar thread on here about this same subject. You may try searching on it.

Thanks. The heat burns were on my left index finger and my right middle finger.

I am seriously considering getting a glove, but I'm not sure if that will help.

I'm assuming you are wearing a glove on your left hand. The burn on the right hand is something I still get if I go on a golf trip and play 5 or 6 rounds in 3 days. I have used tape in the past on that one. I think it's the result of doing something wrong, but I haven't asked about it before. I've forgotten about it since it doesn't happen very often.

I think Tiger Wood tapes that finger too.

I'm still getting heat burns. The burns are mostly to my right middle finger (the entire finger is now bandaged). I also got a blister on my right thumb.

Any ideas on how to reduce friction?

@rjfan91 or anyone who knows: What kind of tape were you referring to?

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      I haven’t really filmed in a while. Starting to feel like my body is close to being at full strength again, but I am also 65! I played a few round and my distance is down as expected. Here are a 6 iron and driver swing. My grip is a bit weak in these so I’ve focused on that the last few days. I went over my Erie notes. I’m trying to swing down from the top and not out. I want my weight to start shifting forward at about P3. And I want to push my left hip back in the downswing, which I was not successful in these swings. Ball flight has been pushes or pull draws with the irons and fades with the driver. Looking at these swings I can see why. I just need to change the picture.

      Things can go awry quickly on that hole.

      I have played that course a lot. Mostly scrambles/outings. I enjoyed the read and could picture each hole and got nervous thinking about number 5. That hole is scary. 200 yard layup off the tee?

      Even though you didn't score well, take solice in the fact you hit the longest drive of the year! 😏 I enjoy following your rounds and can imagine the scenario.   Thanks for sharing
