I used to wear a glove for all shots until I got close to the green (removing it between shots so it would last longer and so I'd avoid the white left hand golf tan!).

Same thing here but I wear my glove all the time.  In the summer I have to take my left hand to the tanning booth to keep it as evenly tanned as the right.  Joking.  I live in the Northwest... there is no sun in the summer.

I use a glove for all full shots, but it comes off for any shot around the green and for putting. I prefer Titleist Players gloves because they are all leather palm and back of the hand. I hate gloves that use that synthetic leather crap. 

I wish I didn't have to use a glove, but my palms sweat so bad I can't hold on to the club otherwise.

I used to wear a glove 100% of the time, just because I didn't like taking it on and off. Recenty, I have gone to no glove, and I plan to stick with that, weather allowing.

I'm fortunate to live in a very temperate area, so sweat and humidity are not an issue for me gripping the club. I do have winter/rain gloves to use when necessary.

Okay, this should be about the least controversial polls of all time.

I noticed the other day that I only put my golf glove on if I'm hitting the driver or metal wood (usually, but not always including my hybrids). A gentleman I was playing with never took his glove off the entire round. He even wore it while putting. 

When do you use a golf glove... or do you use one?

Yeah, only off around the greens. I had one glove last 6 months. No signs of wear but it was definitely beginning to take on life forms. So, my partners would wince when I took it off. 😂

I've never played with a glove, but have thought about it this year as this is the first year that I got semi-serious about the game. I picked up the habit from my dad, and he was and I am still a fan of Fred Couples. I don't know if that was the reason my dad never wore one, or if it was because he was cheap, but it stuck with me. I haven't had an issue with it, even in light rain this year, so I don't know if I will switch or not this coming year.

I was surprised to see that quite a few others chose the same poll option as myself. I figured that everyone used one, at least on some shots.

I play with two gloves and remove them at green side for last chips and putting. I were 2 gloves as my right hand suffers with arthritis. Glove allows the fingers re-oritent themselves that I am ablate make a fairly solid grip.

Voted for never take it off, but that isn't entirely true.  As a rule of thumb I will wear it for all shots, but I sometimes wind up taking it off as I am approaching the green because of sweat and will play delicate chip/pitch shots or putts without the glove.  I never worried about the glove on for any stroke, even putting.  Just habit I guess

    • I usually like to fix the face, first, as the path is most often the compensation for the open face rather than the other way around. If you could get some good down-the-line and face-on video in slow motion, it'd go a long way toward helping. It's tough to see the face and I think the face-on view would show that you're not turning as much as you could/should.
    • Day 86 (26 Jul 25) - Down at the beach place, had kept the clubs with me after playing yesterday.  Spent time this afternoon checking them over and brushing grooves on the wedges and irons.  Spent a few minutes working thru the swing process…working in slo mo through backswing and proper weight shift.
    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen.
