How's it going there. 29 Years, Retired Marine Corp Vet, just finished degree in Criminal Justice about to move to Northern Idaho for work. Handicap is about 13 just using borrowed clubs. Joined to gain a little more knowledge than just going out a few times a year.

Thanks and there has been a lot of info on here. I have came to the conclusion the size of my hands and how sweaty they have been getting I have to either go the double glove route (i know i loose feeling) but both ways to cure my grip blisters on my right hand have no worked. Doulbe gloving has been my last ditched effort.

I was getting blisters after every couple sessions when I first started and didn't know any better for Alonso 2 years. After Mike showed me how to actually grip a club I haven't had a blister on either hand again. Take a look at the functional grip thread and apply it the best you can, then take a few pictures of you gripping the club and post them here in the forum (not necessarily this thread) and you will get good advice on how your doing and what to change. This will be a better cute than double or triple gloving if there is even such a thing! Good Luck.

    • Day 121: did a bit of mirror work with my driver. Working on shortening the backswing.
    • Day 305 - Grip and backswing work. Full swings were bothering the hip a bit. 
    • Day 56 - 2024-11-15 Light day. Lots of catch-up work. Checked the grip to make sure I wasn't compensating there, and did a little backswing work.
    • Day 197 (15 Nov 24) - Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management.  Solid round of 83 (41/42) - 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  
    • Have been on a mid to low 80’s roll of late - today was no different with an 83 (41 front / 42 back).   Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management, delivering 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  Local course starting to get that winter feel - wet areas wetter, thin grass thinner, greens  trickier.
