Tried putting without a glove for the first time in a long time , and i putted better than i had  been . The feel makes a difference and i could'nt care less if people think i'm just  trying to act like the  pros.


I only have a glove on when i'm hitting a shot and never when putting.  I put it on right before I pick a club out of the bag and take it off when the club goes back into the bag.  why would you wear it when you aren't hitting a shot?  that makes no sense to me.

I bet you guys who leave it on all day look real cool with your pasty white left hand.  :)

Bag:
Driver and 3-wood: Titleist 910D3 9.5* + 910Df 15* w/ Aldila RIP 80 X flex
2-iron: King Cobra II Forged DG-x100

3-Hybrid: 20* Adams 9031DF DG-x100
4-9 irons: Bridgestone Tour Premium DG-s400
Wedges: Vokey 200 series: 48, 54, 60 DG-s400
Putter: original Cameron Newport gunmetal blue
 


If you have "man hands" you don't need a glove when hitting full shots! lol just messin around

I will usually start out wearing a glove but if I feel like I'm not sweating too much(wind blowing, just not that hot, etc..etc..) I'll take it off and leave it off.  A glove DOES provide a LITTLE more tackiness when gripping a club but thats only with good leathers and its not something substantial anyway.  Most people wear gloves out because the club slides in their hands anyway...thats why there are so many "heel holes"

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."


I leave it on.  I am a creature of fell though.  If I am playing good nothing is changing!!  If I took my glove off to putt in a good round I would probably have to completely redress myself in order to get the correct feel back.  It may sound weird but thats how I am.  I was the same way with other sports, basketball halftime people always took there shoes off to let there feet rest, me I left them on because they would never feel right again when I put it back on.  I guess its more of a sensation thing.  If I take my glove off and put it back on, I don't feel comfortable the rest fo the round.  Either way I don't putt any different though.

When its breezy swing easy!!!!!

And the "greens" at a lot of places (*cough* Edwin Watts) basically funnel your ball into the hole so you're thinking "MAN I putt well with this thing!"

    • This is one of the handiest rules of thumb to remember. If relief is free, it's one club length. If it's with penalty, it's two club lengths (or on the line away from the flag when that's allowed). On the OB question, suppose your ball is on the cart path and your reasonable swing setup is right handed and you "have" to take relief (says it's a mini cobblestone path and the ball is sitting down and you're guaranteed to blade it and not really know where it's going, and probably damage your club). Your NPR is left of the path, as it almost always is for a righty. But while the ball can be in bounds, your feet will be across the OB line between the hole and the houses lining the fairway. Is that still an NPR? Are you allowed to take a right handed swing with your feet OB? What if the OB is a cliff or other landscape feature that means you can't stand there? Does a point on the left hand side of the path still count as NPR?
    • The OP says "under a prickly ugly bush" Not being there and in the absence of a clear photo of the situation, I am not entirely convinced about the reasonableness of the claim. However, DavePo43 is of course correct in all other aspects.  
    • Day 27: 1/6/2025 Lots of mirror work again today. Went over photos and videos from my last lesson. Trying to get the movements in my priority piece just right.  I'm likely going to be doing more mirror work tomorrow too. Which is fine considering the weather. 
    • Day 173: Did a stack session. Worked a bit during breaks on backswing stuff.
    • If it helps, tell him a USGA Expert rules official is on your side.  More important, ask HIM to find a rule that mentions 2 clublengths and FREE relief in the same rule.  He won't find it.  The bit I quoted makes it pretty clear to me.
