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

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.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
