Golf Gloves Are Useless

[Gilberg]

Like most of you, I always thought wearing gloves for golf makes no sense.  A mans hands are hardened from work, so whats the point.  its a waste of $5.

My mom invited me to golf with her and her boss.  She wanted me to go to act like her husband since she was always telling her boss how good looking her husband was and my dad is really old and dresses like a skank and NOT good looking.  But he got a reel kind heart and wears it on his sleeve all the itme

Mom got me a whole golf outfit to wear and a glove?  I was ok with the outfit she chose out for me, but the cardboard paper tags from the shirt and shorts dug into my skin all day.  

I told her I wasn't wearing a glove and then she made me.  When the round was over I had sweat literally dripping from inside the glove and running down my arm.  Plus the velcro dug all the skin off the back of my hand (the front of the hands are tough, not the back), because she bought them for the wrong hands and i had to wear both gloves inside out to make the "work".

It was worth it becuse at the end her boss looked at me and just smiled and told me how prooud he was and how tough I was.  But it doens't matter because I don't even respect him.

Does anybody hear bother with golf gloves.  The only sports I wore gloves for was baseball and wrestling, just for the grip, but there is literally no point for golfers other than some of the points I pointed out above.

for the grip

That’s why. Hot and sweaty hands require extra friction. I use rain gloves when it’s hot. When it’s nice out, I don’t wear a glove though.

Your mistake is taking any of this seriously.

$5? Only if your buying the 3 pack at Costco. I prefer to keep my velvety smooth hands untouched from actually having to grip the club.

I fell for it, and it wasn’t even close to being serious. I figured, well, you never can tell with folks these days. Haha. Gullible moment. I guess I’m often too literal.

We all wear pears of latex gloves for every round, COVID-19 and all.  Talk about hot AND slippery.

I only wear a glove when using my ball retriever that is in serious need of a new grip. Do you have a recommendation on what grip would be best if I wanted to try to qualify for the US Open?

I used this glove when in deep rough with coyotes around.

Was that course one of the Forest Akers?  Seems that area had some difficulty controlling parties.

I’m glad someone pointed that out! Good lord, I’m reading through the posts and everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room.

Only with gloves on. Sans gloves and the yips creep in. It's all very sad.

Does the elephant use a bag to carry his clubs? Or does he use his trunk?
