Hi folks, I'm new as a poster here but I've been reading stuff here for a while now. The calluses on my left hand especially (I'm a righty, as you can see) have been irritated lately. What do you do about your calluses? Do you recommend sanding/stoning them off or taping them or what? Thanks and great to be here finally!

I typically use a rubbing stone on mine and it seems to get the job done.

you damn sissy!!!!!   LOL

All kidding aside, tape whatever you need to tape.  I'm a lefty who's taped his ' trigger finger" for what seems like since the beginning of time.......yea, something happened once to it 15+yrs ago, and it's been taped ever since.

I'm a righty and when playing multiple rounds a week, will tape the two middle fingers on my right hand. I'm a little self conscious about it, but it keeps the calluses away.

Buy some decent hand cream -- Eucerin is good -- and use it in the morning and evenings. File down or trim with nail scissors if they start to build up to the point of annoyance.

You have two middle fingers on your right hand...freaky!  I get a callous on my right ring finger I'll tape that one.  Others as needed.

Calluses are good.  They protect you from blisters.  I bet you do a lot of practicing.  Depends on where the calluses are.  If on the fingers tape them.  If on the heel?  I don't know.  Just live with it.

If it's really bad use two gloves for awhile especially when practicing until they settle down.

Why is that freaky?   They are between the first finger and the fourth finger.

I generally think of the hand having five fingers, ergo one middle, usually the one raised towards awful drivers.  Poor attempt at humor.

Nope.  Four fingers.  One thumb.  If you're waving at a policeman use all five.

Thanks a lot. Yeah I haven't been getting calluses anywhere but my fingers, but a couple have just gotten to the point where the skin is kind of peeling off and they're annoying. I just want to settle them down, thanks.

Depends upon where the calluses are.  I get them at the base of the fingers (little finger and social (middle) finger.  I use a stone when they bother me.  If on the fingers use tape.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
