The game of golf is like any other sport when it comes to injuries. If you don't use the proper equipment or learn to play the game correctly, injuries can and do happen. Golfers who experience blisters, know they can be a nuisance, very painful and interfere with your swing. Here's a few helpful hints to prevent blisters while playing golf.
Instructions
1. Wear a golf glove. The glove can prevent blisters from forming and also help you keep a better grip on your club.
2. Ease up on your grip. If you find blisters are forming in the palm of your hand regularly, loosen your grip on the club.
3. Try putting talcum or baby powder on your hand before putting on your glove. Right handed golfers usually wear their glove on their left hand, and left handed golfers the opposite.
4. Put an adhesive bandage on areas that are prone to blister. A bandage is a temporary solution for an occasional golfer. Use Step 1 when you are playing golf on a daily basis.
5. Watch a golf instructional video on proper grip to make sure you're using the proper technique when holding the clubs. Or, get real one-on-one help by taking lessons with a professional instructor.
