Whenever i play golf, i get a water blister on my thumb of my right hand. i know its not supposed to be there beacuse i cant put too much presser on my right hand..(i'm right handed)..but somehow its gets there. I tried poping, but afterwords it really starts to hurt when you touch it (especially cuz its on my right hand thumb) and it looks NASTY. I was wondering if there are any things i could try to avoid getting a water blister..or how to get rid of it without the pain and the nasty scar. Thanks!

The best way is to do things to avoid and prevent one from appearing. It sounds like you are gripping the golf club too tight, and given heat conditions, you are making your hand susceptible to getting the water blister. If possible, ask for advice on better grips, use gloves if possible, and conciously monitor how tight you grip the club. Regarding removal, it is best to use an ice pack or ice cubes. Don't pop it yourself, as the fluid leaked will affect the rest of your skin, and, as you know, is painful. Use a wet, cold washcloth with an ice cube, as this will also help soak up the fluid when the blister leaks.

Definitely, there is something wrong with your grip. The club grip is probably too small for your hand causing the club to move when you make contact with the ball. The same thing happens with tennis or badminton rackets.

Do you hate picks more than blisters?
