I'm assuming that pic was taken after a workout and not after a range session. Rory lifts.

Agreed. He also wears a glove, so he shouldn't really have blisters on his left hand from golfing.

At the risk of a serious reply (ahem), those don't look like blisters to me, just calluses that are dried out. My left hand looked like that when I played a lot. I had a buddy that got calluses like that too who used to take them off with a razor blade. I wasn't brave enough for that.

The callus by the lifeline looks odd to me, but the others seem in normal places to me.

Whether that is good or not, I will defer to the pros from Dover :whistle:

Not sure what caused the lower callus. As a former power lifter, weight freak and personal trainer I can say that I never developed a callus in that part of either hand. Maybe he needs to work on his grip in the weight room :)
