Golf with 9 fingers
I just recently lost the ring finger of my right hand in an accident, and although its still healing at the moment I want to get back on the course again as soon as possible.
Apart from having to change my grip to compensate I'm wondering what other things I can do that will help. I wonder if getting new thicker grips on my clubs to make them easier to grasp might help. Also considering getting some lessons fom a pro familiar with the sort of issues that I will face.
Anyone got any other suggestions that might be helpful?

Bad luck Nick, but don't let it spoil your golf. A friend of mine lost a finger and improved by 4 shots in 6 months. Play on and see how it goes! All the best! T

A friend of mine had major shoulder surgery and ended up playing one armed for a few months and then with a shortened swing until he was fully fit again. The whole thing has improved his game massively. Much more controlled. Beware the injured golfer they say! Good luck with the comeback .
