How a Coffee Mug Can Affect Your Grip
Dave Lee
90 minutes before the round I was in the kitchen finishing my last cup of
coffee. The dishwasher was running so I just washed out my glass mug and
reached for a dish towel to wipe it out before putting it back on the shelf.
I shoved the towel into the mug (right hand) with my first 3 fingers which
left my little finger outside and the web between it and my 3rd finger
rubbing across the rim. I didn't know that there was a chip in the mug lip.
And I tore a non-trivial sized chunk of flesh loose.
I had maybe a half hour before I needed to leave for the course and was
having trouble simply getting the bleeding to stop. I finally decided to
just tape my 3rd/4th fingers together to hold a bit a gauze/antisetpic and
to keep the area undisturbed so the bleeding would stop.
Other than the fact that it forced me to go to a double overlap grip, it was
no big deal. Interestingly the area is WAY more sore today than it was
yesterday. But after one day of a forced grip change experiment, I am not
likely to make this a permanent change.

There's a million ways to mess yourself up. I sliced the meat of my thumb
open on a piece of glass I was cutting just minutes before I had to leave to
play in a golf league match -- it was cut all the way to the bone --- I
dripped blood all over of the place -- it is distracting to have blood on
your ball while you are trying to putt -- but we won!
Then I got it stitched.

Sounds like a violation of Rule 5-2 (Foreign Material on the ball) to me :-)

I was working on a piece of machinery this summer, impact wrenching a part
when it spun, hit my hand and removed a non-trivial (love that description)
piece of flesh off the pad of my left ring finger. Had a match the next
morning. Taped it up with some hockey tape in the morning. It kept it from
bleeding the whole round. Didn't feel too pleasant though.

Good thing the opponents didn't call me on it -- I think they were laughing
too hard. ;-))

Wuss. I once cut off my finger, and had to have it sewn back on. My
golf game is better than it ever was.

Sorry, Dave, but you should have DQed yourself for using artificial
equipment. :-) [1]
[1] And before anyone goes postal telling me I'm an idiot that it is
OK to have tape on your fingers -- yes, I know that. I'm joking.

A most hilarious joke. I could not stop laughing. Thanks for making my
day worthwhile John!
Any more jokes you want to share?

Isn't that how Tiger started wearing tape
on two of his fingers? It sounded like you
were going to shoot your career low.
