1042.0. "Slices (in hand)" by BSS::POND () Tue Jul 31 1990 18:10

    Has anyone had injury/cut on finger from golf?
    
    
    My right middle finger (the international finger 8*] ) is getting
    cut every round from my other finger (to the right of it).
    
    
    The cut heals til I come out.
    
    I have tryied bandaids...arkward.. 
    Cutting finger nail...same result.
    Wear golf glove on right hand...best result yet..but lose 
    touch.
    
    Have not tried...cutting finger off or quiting golf  \*}
    
    
    
    N E advice welcome

1042.1	Just a thought	CSOA1::KOBRIEN	Certifiable golfer	`Tue Jul 31 1990 19:45`	6
	If your middle finger is being cut by the index finger on your right hand, it sounds to me that your grip is wrong. Might be time to see a teaching pro. KO
1042.2	right grip...	BSS::POND		`Tue Jul 31 1990 21:10`	5
	no I am holding it right... \ \|\|\|/ the four finger is cutting into the third one on the same hand. ...Neal

	.0 That's amazing! I can't imagine how you're doing that! -dwight
1042.4	A real cut-up	ODIXIE::WESTCL	Gator Golfer	`Wed Aug 01 1990 13:03`	4
	I agree with .3! I'm looking at my right hand, imagining how you can cut the third, and I don't see it. I do have a problem with the fingernail on my right hand cutting the middle finger of the left (no glove), but I handle that be keeping the guilty nail closely trimmed.
1042.5	My guess with sound advice	20986::FEENEY	non golfers live half a life	`Wed Aug 01 1990 14:53`	3
	My guess is you have way too flat a swing such that centrifigal force is acting on your hands and not the club head. You really should see a pro if you want it diagnosed correctly and solved properly.
