Most pros kept their gloves on when putting until I think maybe the late 60's. I don't know who started the no glove while putting routine.

I take my glove off after each shot and for all greenside shots and putts, not for feel, mostly to air it out a bit so it does not become a sweat rag over the duration of the round.

well, i used to keep it on, but now i take it off after every shot so that i dont have goofy tan lines.... somtimes i dont even wear one at all. All the new grips on my clubs are soft, so unless i am having a huge practice seesion at the range, i usually just leave it off

I take the glove off unless its less than 35 degrees F out there. I also take the glove off for very short chip shots.

always take it off for putting, i find you lose a lot of the feel and in that the ability to judge weight correctly.

never take it off for chipping though!

I never wear a glove..although I always put one in my back pocket for mental thoughts. Every now and then I will use it when I hit my 3-4 iron. If it is 100+ degrees outside, I will wear a glove for Driver-P wedge, and take it off for anything inside 125 yards. My glove last me a couple months since I never use it.

Me too, I've gotten into the habit of taking my glove off after every shot, and for the same reason.

I haven't been playing long enough to know what I will settle into, however, I am tending to like the glove for the woods, and the driving range if I am hitting more than 30 balls at a time. Otherwise, I currently prefer to go without a glove.

Yep; definitely for putting. Think I have more connection to the putter and therefore a better touch. Probably bull though .

I take it off between every shot, not because I'm afraid of tan lines or anything, just because my dad used to do it and I started doing it too.

By the way, tan lines are funny, after about 2 weeks in the summer, it looks like I'm always wearing white ankle socks with my sandals and a permanent pair of white sunglasses. I think its funny and don't let it bother me...sounds kinda feminine to worry about stuff like that...

I have to take it off. Even for chips and short wedge shot. It has something to do with the feel.

    • It's not dumb. It's dumb to randomly allow a free drop that provides an advantage you don't deserve. And your committee had the option of determining it GUR. Did you talk to them?
    • A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already. 
    • Sorry to lose you, thx for letting us know 
    • I have to bow out for the weekend. I was only in for Saturday as it was
    • Could course committee have an MLR option to declare this bunker GUR?
