Hi

Does anyone have the same problem?

I often get bruises from the knit of the golf glove; especially on my left index finger (I'm R handed).

Are there any gloves that have an index finger without knits? E.g. one piece without stitches and all that ... ?

Any recommendations?

Take care,

Navid

I think if you're bruising from a glove, your grip is way too strong and you should relax a bit. The only way I could imagine you having issues like that is if you were gripping the club too tight. Could it also be possible you're using a glove that is too small or too large? Remember that the perfect fit is achieved when you spread your fingers apart and flatten your palm (fingers extended) and you cannot pinch any of the glove on your palm. It should literally be like a comfortable second skin. Keep in mind they have Cadet sizes as well for people who have shorter fingers but wider hands.

Personally, I feel as if one should hold onto the club as if they were holding a baby's hand/wrist in terms of pressure.

The best glove I ever found is the FootJoy WeatherSof. The glove is very soft, well constructed, and the most comfortable glove I've ever used.

Thanks Spyder I followed your suggestion and it's better already. I also focus on distributing the pressure more evenly L/R. I've just ordered the FJ WeatherSof. From the pictures I can tell that the index finger is designed differently than the rest of the fingers. It also seems to address the issue I mentioned about being one piece instead of knitting together two sides.

No problem! Hopefully this helps you out a little bit and you like the glove as much as I do.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
