That’s actually a great idea! I’m curious, which brands are known for their padded grips?
Check out Lamkin grips; they have different textures that can enhance grip without causing blisters. Plus, they’re super durable!
I’ve also struggled with blisters while golfing. I’ve tried a few gloves by Callaway that seem to balance fit and durability quite well!
Callaway gloves are great! Do they come in different sizes? I think that might be my issue…
Absolutely! They offer a range of sizes. It’s crucial to get the right fit to avoid blisters. You might also want to consider trying a glove with a mesh back for better ventilation!
I wish I had known these tips last summer! Blisters made my game unbearable. Has anyone here tried compression sleeves on their fingers?
That sounds interesting! What do they do, and have you experienced any improvements?
They help reduce friction and provide support. I’ve had much less discomfort since I started using them! Just make sure they’re not too tight.
Another thing to consider is your grip technique—make sure you’re not gripping the club too tightly. It can lead to blisters as well.

That’s true! But who can concentrate on ‘feel’ when the game is on the line? It’s hard not to squeeze!
Exactly! Golf can be intense, but a relaxed grip can save you. Plus, using proper gloves and grips will definitely go a long way in preventing blisters. Hang in there!
I feel your pain! For an existing blister, keep it clean and use a sterile bandage. Avoid popping it unless necessary. It’s better to let it heal on its own to prevent infection.
Great tips! Have you considered using moleskin? It’s really comfy and can help protect the blister while you heal.
I agree with cody45 about letting it heal naturally. If it gets red or swollen, definitely see a doc. You don’t want any complications!
Also, try a warm saltwater soak! It can be soothing and help with healing. Just ensure to dry it well afterward.
That sounds nice! What if I don’t have salt on hand? Are there other options for soaking?

You can use plain warm water instead! Just make sure it’s not too hot. The idea is to keep it clean and soothing.
Sometimes I use aloe vera gel. It’s great for soothing skin and can help with the healing process too. Just be sure it’s pure aloe.

I’ve heard that too! But really, how long should you wait to start golfing again?
It really depends on how quickly it heals. Generally, give it a week or so, but listen to your body! If it still hurts, give yourself more time.
