Why do most Pros have soft hands with no calluses?

I think there was a good thread started by iacas about pros self rated  firm grip pressure of 3-4  that were much stronger than amateurs self rated  7-8  firm pressure.

Pros must have strong core and arms to support and sustain a swing speed of 115+ that most amateurs can not.

I think amateurs who are trying swinging faster to get more distance  cant support the swing speed and end up tightening their hands and get too wristy, especially with driver.

Also in that thread one comment was that pressures on the shaft were fairly constant, I think it you start changing grip pressure during the swing it may lead to inconsistency.

One of my problems is changing grip pressure with the driver, thought I have learned to tighten my armpit that seems to reduce the need for over tightening my hands and coordinate my body more into the drive than a hands and arms only swing.

    • Could course committee have an MLR option to declare this bunker GUR? 
    • Sorry, I will disagree. You got a penalty because you hit it somewhere and didn't want to play it from there. Bunkers are not the general area. If you had hit it into temporary water in the general area, you'd be entitled to relief. You hit it into a hazard, a bunker. Why should you get free relief when you hit it into a bunker? If someone else hit it into a different part of the bunker, without water, they'd not get a drop for free out of the bunker. Heck, it'd cost them two strokes if they didn't have an ACC and wanted to drop it out of the bunker.
    • I love golf, but we have some really dumb rules. Like this one, you get a penalty stroke because it rained. 
    • No. If there was a place no closer to the hole that afforded some relief, you could have dropped there. If you were truly as far away from the hole as you could, in the "back" of the bunker, then… your options were basically to play it as it lies (lied? lay?) or take the penalty stroke and drop behind the bunker (keeping the point where the ball was between your drop and the hole).
    • Day 121 - Had a tournament today, not my best. I was hitting everything off the heel.
