I've always played with a glove but have recently given it up. I'm enjoying being more connected to the swing as a result. Plus its one less thing to fuss over on the course. What about you?

Jeff, I'm glad you made this topic. I am publishing a review on a golf glove on Wednesday I believe. I reviewed the new 3M Greptile glove. I think you will enjoy the read.

As for the topic, I have to wear a glove 110% of the time. I don't wear one when chipping or putting, but I do for every other shot.

The humidity in Oklahoma is overwhelming at times. And there are some spots on my course that are way too humid to go with the bare hand. My glove gets wet at times, which isn't good. But it's better than nothing. That's also where the new glove I reviewed comes into play, but I won't go into anymore detail on that yet.

So yes, I'm all for the glove. If I played in other states, I may not need one.

We get pretty humid here in PA, but I - like many pros - just go with a corded grip and keep my hands dry. A pair of dry hands beats a moist glove any day of the week.

I never wore a glove for the first 10 years or so of playing golf. A few years ago I went through a funk of hitting big hooks. It felt to me like I was strangling the club and decided to wear a glove so I didn't need to grip it as tight. It helped with the hooks and I've worn one every since. Now if I try playing without one, I instinctively tighten my grip because it feels less secure. I have to wear one now.

Glove on.

On sweaty days, I'll usually switch after 9 to get that dry, new feeling again. I don't use gloves on short pitches or putting. I want to feel the club during those shots.

I prefer not to wear a golf, but I am a sweat-hog. If the conditions allow me not to use a glove, I don't. Typically here in Dallas when it is 105 like today, I have to use 4 gloves, and hang them on the cart to dry (which doesn't take long in 105 degrees).

Summers are too hot and the sweat eats up gloves so quick so I dont wear one in the Summer. I will in the winter though

I where a FJ staSof but not for chipping or putting. My hands get way to sweaty in the 100*+ kansas weather and even with cord grips you can lose control.

I always have 3 - 4 pair of gloves with me, keeping them rotating. Taylor Made React is my glove of choice.

I like useing the glove with my driver, 3w and irons because I believe I can hold to club softer without choking it to death. Also, I do not like useing the glove when useing my gw, sw and putting to give myself that special touch.

I marked "sometimes" but "for some shots" would be more accurate. I use a glove for all full shots, but when I get around 100 yards in it comes off.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
