I did actually, I learned that crazy glue heals all open wounds and cuts last year after I punctured my foot all the way through wit ha 3/4" diameter construction bolt.

Instead of murdering a 4-iron you can get the same results with a driver

Pick up some nu-skin. A bit more civilized than krazy glue.

Youre a righty, and this is your right thumb right? Next time try to get the tip of your thumb to touch the tip of your index finger, and most importantly, loosen your grip! Like bluetxc stated, grip it like youre holding a bird. But on the downswing, squeeze the grip with the last three fingers of your left hand.

Damn, that must hurt like a bitch. Oh, and the wound itself is OOF

Yeah, your supposed to grip like you are holding a toothpaste bottle, without the tooth paste coming out, but I have played this way since I was 7, and its been burned into muscle memory for the past 11 years. I do a lot of screwed up stuff when I hit, like on my down stroke, I lean backwards (put all my weight on my right leg). Probably a motion that came from batting in baseball left handed. But, I win tourneys the way I shoot now, so there os no stopping me now!

And about the image being OOF, man, do you know how stupid it feels to try to take a photo holding the camera with the left hand only and reaching out your right hand as far as possible?
