Is Lee Trevino taping his thumb because it is irritated?

Well, if so, all I can say is that it has been irritated for about 36 years, because that's how long I've watched him play Golf! And ever since I can remember, that Gloved Left Thumb has always been taped. Personally, I think he originally did it to prevent any possible slippage between the Glove and the Shaft, and it has long since become a habit.

Thanks for posting, Dave. Keep'em comin'!
