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.

Always changing:

Putter: Odyssey White Hot

Wedges: Titleist Vokeys - 48º, 54º, 62º

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.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
