No glove. No need for a glove.

I definitely have to wear a glove. If I didn't, I would be throwing golf clubs left and right. My hands sweat a lot for some reason, and the glove really helps out.

Maybe I have bad nerves. :/

I take my glove off from the PW on down.

I guess I should have clarified that for me as well. On full shots with my PW and SWs, I still use a glove. But I take my glove off for anything less than full shots with wedges and putting of course.

I have to wear a glove. I dont know what it is, but without a glove my grip feels off, and I never feel comfortable in the swing. Even on short chips from just off the green, I wear the glove because I feel a better connection with the club. However, I do remove it for putting.

I usually don't use a glove, but if my hands get a bit raw I'll use one while they heal.

Glove here. The combination of my sissy soft hands and cord grips necessitate a glove for everything but putting. Granted, because of the cord grips, I go through gloves like it's nobody's business. Well, except Foot Joy's. I guess it's their business.

I recently dropped the glove and I don't see much difference but playing 5 games a week I amm developping heavy caliss in my right hand on the last three fingers(I'm left handed). I hope I,m not holding the club too tight.

I wish I didn't have to wear one, but my palms sweat so bad I actually have to change gloves every 9 holes or so in the summer. I also have cord grips in order to help me hold on to the club.

Just a thought, if you are wearing out a lot of gloves, even if you have cords, you need to look at your grip. I used to wear out gloves on the palm and thumb like crazy. A club pro buddy of mine saw that, adjusted my grip, and I never wear out a glove anymore.

The guys I play with say that playing with out gloves help them remember to not over squeez the grip. I personally like the extra grip the gloves provide.

I wear a glove from driver to putter. My left hand is white and the rest of my body is tanned. LOL.

Anyways, for me, wearing a glove gives me a little more connection with the club. It gives me a sense of control, especially over putting. I was putting with out a glove before and I just couldnt keep the putter steady.

I use a glove, even when putting. I don't grip the club nearly as well otherwise.
