Currently, I don't play with a glove.  I have tried in the past, but I found it uncomfortable/a hassle.  Does anyone else feel this way, or am I missing out on some benefits I don't know about??

The only reason I use a glove is because my hands get very slippery. However when I'm within 50 yards of the green I don't wear it.

I feel I do better with a glove.  In fact, I have started wearing two gloves like Tommy Gainey.  I even putt with a glove, but that is generally because I am too lazy to remove it.  Without a glove on at least my left hand, my shots tend to be more erratic.

I've been looking into a right hand glove because like I previous stated my hands get very slippery. Sometimes I have to step away to use a towel because my right hand feels like it will slip off

When I started I never wore one but I got some crappy grips that were slippery and I started wearing a glove. I just got used to wearing one so there was no point in going back but it's more a comfort thing. If you don't wear one and you have no gripping issues than you really don't need one.

I've been using a glove ever since I first started playing. It's mostly because of the fact that my hands get so slippery my clubs slides when swinging, but aside from that they just feel good. If you think gloves feel bad it might just be that you haven't found the right one for you...

Whatever is comfortable. I wear 1 on a regular day except when putting. 1 rain glove is it's drizzly out except when putting. 2 rain gloves when it's raining except when putting. 2 rain gloves when it's freakin' cold and raining even when putting!

 

Play, practice, practice, practice. Repeat.

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
