Wore a glove for about the first eight years I played golf. Last year just messing around at the range and didnt wear a glove. Now I havent worn one since about July 05, and Ill never wear one again. What a different feeling without one. I have the Winn G8 grips on my irons and have never had a problem yet. The only thing to watch out for are the blisters on the left ring finger and pinky, but some tape on there every time I play or hit balls does the trick.

I almost always wear one, including to putt. Funny thing happened Sunday. It was 32 degrees when we started so I was wearing my cold weather gloves on both hands. I putted very well on the first 3 holes, including a 15 foot birdie on my first hole. It started to warm up and I took the glove off to putt on the forth hole. I pulled a makeable putt and made a bad lag putt on the next. I had a four footer for birdie on the sixth and deliberately left the glove on to putt. I drained it for my second bird. I left it on the rest of the way and didn't three putt once for the entire nine. It was probably psychological, but it worked. Once the weather warms up I will go back to my regular glove on one hand.

I consistently putt better with a glove on. I feel that when I become nervous I become overly aware and this limits my sensitivity.

I know that a while ago before the new grip technology came out a glove was very useful because not only did it help protect your hands, but if they got a little sweaty it would help to grip the club. The grips that i have, when they get wet, actually help to keep my hands dry. The grips almost act like tape and help stick to my hands. Just my opinion though.

I have never been comfortable using a glove. They just feel weird on my hands. Now I do have a glove.. 1 glove that I have had for like 6 years lol. I do use it if its raining really really hard.. I have used it on maybe 10-12 shots in my life..

I take my glove off from the PW on down.

UPDATE: Played a full round last weekend with NO glove and it was quite nice actually. I felt more from the irons and I didn't have to worry about my glove slipping out of my pocket and the hassle of putting it on and off again. No more glove for me anymore.

Everyone shall come to the no-glove side eventually...

Glove - three main blisters are seemingly inevitable without one, and my grip is supposedly fine. . . I can't seem to get a grip on this one. HA HA, get it?

Funny you bring this up...I've been going back and forth.
Not much difference either way for me. I wipe my hand a lot less with a glove on. :)

    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.  
    • Day 2 - range session. Focus on tempo. Not as good as last time, but good.
