Last week I went out on my farm/driving range and hit about 20 to 30 balls with my driver. I forgot my glove and hit the ball very well for me. Today while playing just decent about the 11th hole I decided to play with out my glove. I hit the ball more consistant. Anyway I believe I will continue playing without the glove. Just wondering if many plays without it. I asked my playing partner and he said that Fred Couples don't wear a glove. Thanks for the input.

If your hands don't get too beat up and the club doesn't slip because of sweat or rain, then by all means go with what feels good. These are the reasons I wear a glove. It's really a personal thing.

I haven't worn a glove for years, except in very cold weather. I have a pair of winter golf gloves that I wear if I need them, and I carry a brand new regular glove in my bag just in case of a rare wet day here in Colorado. I've had it in my bag for 4 years without ever needing it.

I wear a glove when I play, but whenever I practice I never wear one. The funny thing is I don't think it makes a difference whether I wear one or not.

I have worn a glove for many many years, and got tired of taking it off & putting it on every few minutes ... so this year I played without one. Seems fine to me. Like another poster mentioned, as long as your hands aren't wet & slippery then I think you are fine.

My dad doesn't wear a glove either, seems like one less thing to have to worry about while playing.

Never wear one because it never really helped me. It feels fine when I try wearing one but since they're not very durable and I play a lot, I feel I'm saving a good amount of money not using one.

Me neither. I will wear a glove in the extreme cold or rain if I find that my grip is being affected however.

Sometimes my hand gets sweaty and makes it difficult, especially in summer. Short wedge shots aren't bad but I tried no glove with my driver and almost let go of it!

For the first half of this year I used a glove. I left it in the trunk in August. I played fine and started playing without it. I cleaned my grips really good and haven't had a problem with any slippage... however, I did have a slight problem this last weekend playing in cold windy weather. The grips felt very hard and the dryness of my hands left me with an unsure feeling and some of my shots were less than perfect. I got through the round but I think that in weather like that, the glove would give you a better grip on the club. Luckily, gloves last me a long time. Lesson learned? I'll keep the glove in the bag and not in the trunk!

I wear one, but only because at this point it feels awkward without one. I don't think they are necessary in most circumstances. Going without one probably promotes a softer grip and more natural release. At least my gloves last forever!!! I do take them off between most shots in the summer and I don't use a death grip. Since I started placing the grip more in my fingers I buy about 2 or 3 gloves a year. But one day I'll commit to going Freddie style, he's kinda my hero anyway.

I haven't worn one in years. I used to, but I like the added feel I get when not having it on. If I start getting blisters, I know I'm gripping the club incorrectly, so it gives me an added level of feedback...

No glove here too. I got tired of taking it on and off for putting and then realized that I was fine without it the whole round.

I have a problem with my hands - the skin is very sensitive. This is a recent development (3 years or so). I have to wear two gloves and keep them on all round, including putting. I prefer playing without but I have no choice.

    • Some people learn in different ways. I am a big visual learner. I like to see it, work with it, figure stuff out myself.  If people are upset, odds are they are not going to listen or be in the mental state to learn the facts. It might be something left as an email or meeting on a different day. 
    • Okay, so… what do you want then? The explanations from both Dave and I are accurate. I find that the truth is generally the best explanation. Or, if everyone plays the same tees, just post the course handicap. If they're not dumbbells, give them the info. Educate them a little. They can take it — they're adults.

    • Telling guys who don't carry "official" handicaps, who have never even looked at the USGA website, that the number they see from the league is their "Index" and not really the number of strokes they get for any particular round and instead, it's the number used to calculate the number of strokes they get, it just makes their eyes glaze over and then they complain to me, "that doesn't make any sense." These are not dumbbells either. (Well, some are.) For the most part they run insurance agencies, they're accountants, doctors, lawyers, etc. I'm just trying to come up with the simplest explanation possible.   Maybe I'll just give them the formula and have them figure it out on their own so they know why their "handicap" was what it was on a round just completed and what it will be next week. Either that and just not mention anything about the "Index" and just give them their course handicaps, both for the current round and for the round that follows.
