Damn dude. I honestly hope you are okay. You are pretty hardcore to worry about golf more than anything. We definitely take things for granted as humans. I'm sure your golf game will be okay. you'll learn to adapt. I also play drums and guitar but there are people that are handicapped that adapt and are much better than I am.

This.
I had a nerve issue in my neck that affected my throwing hand. Learned to throw lefty & was suprised how fast I picked it up.

It wasn't your nose picking finger was it?
I actually don't think it should be that big of issue at all. Outside of rollers my pointer finger doesn't really grab the inside rim on a power grip and hell you might get a cleaner release with a little practice 
I think lots of top players use a similar grip where the middle finger is more of a rip point and pointer is a guide.
Good Luck!!!

That's what I was gonna suggest you can get killer spin that way and using lighter/less stable discs. If you FH lots you can stack your pointer on top of your middle finger and make it work.

Genius! Alan Beaver the God Father of disc golf in the Carolinas uses this grip. He is in his late 50's and still 980 rated. This is your fix fo show!
Actually, the finger goes over the thumb. The thumb is on the flight plate. I use it all the time!
Ah. I had a buddy that used a -modified- bonopane grip. He had the thumb and finger switched. He had to use it due to a childhood injury that twisted his pointer finger.

After you're all healed, work on your forehand. :thmbup:
Am I the only one in this thread for the pictures that are missing?

It's pretty tame compared to the fence jumping pic result that was linked.

It didn't hold Jerry Garcia back. People....protect your throwing hand!

It seems strange that the disc throwing hand and hatchet wielding hand were not the same so he must already have some coordination in the 'off' hand.

But, apparently, not enough.
That's exactly my thought. I have knicked a finger on my left hand with a hatchet before... It was not fun.
Good luck with the recovery.
