Tip from an arthritis sufferer.


My friends call me Bella and I’ve played golf now for over 40 years. Reaching my late seventies I had to stop, because the arthritis in my fingers made it too painful when I gripped the club. One day when I was at my orthopedist, he asked about my golf game (he’s known me for many years). When I told him why I’d stopped, he recommended that I try having my clubs regripped with oversized grips. He said that the oversize grips would stop my fingers from compressing to tightly. He also suggested I try a baseball grip as well. So I tried it, and by George the larger grips helped a lot. Couldn’t switch to the baseball grip after all these years, but I appreciated his suggestion. Give it a try. If you ask me, anything beats having to give up the game.
