I get a blister on my right ring finger, I interlock my fingers when I grip and get a friction burn, I've been thinking about wearing two gloves to stop this from happening. I've also considered tape and maybe this thing http://www.singlefitgolf.com/ .

Maybe just as an option for when I'm at the driving range, seems to be when it happens the most.

Winter I use my batting gloves. But it usually drives me bat sh!t crazy and I take them off.

I wear two gloves because my hands get torn up if I do not. I even keep them on for putting. I love the feel of playing without gloves, but it's not possible for me.

I have previously worn two gloves in cold weather.....and used to wear one glove at all times. That was previously when my grips were all standard sized, and I really needed a midsize. Having addressed that, I find that no glove works best. Is the real answer to make sure that your club grips are the correct size for you, and to keep your grips and hands dry (and your hands warm) between shots?

I find I have nothing like the same hand wear with a correct sized grip, that I previously had with an incorrect (too small) grip and a glove.

I'd say do what works for you, those are the things that will improve your game, not what someone else does or says.

I sweat like a prostitute in a confessional, but it doesn't affect my game, a carry a towel. I also go through a glove every month since I am now playing 3 times a week.
I may look into one myself, had been thinking about it last year when it appeared I had bought 9 gloves over a season.

Don't think two would help me but who knows.

As for others speaking up about it, keep them interested in your gloves and off their game, you might gain a few strokes by their not being attentive to their task at hand?

I started out learning without using gloves, and played for several years without them. When I could afford to buy one, I finally splurged and noticed a difference right away... and not in a good way. Took most of that summer to get used to it. As I became more 'financially independent' and was able to play more often and for a longer period during the season, I began using 2 gloves in the cooler late winter and early spring. There is a butter zone in late April and into May, and then again in late September into October when the weather is cool and dry enough for one glove again. But once it gets hot and sticky I will use 2 gloves again. I also have about 12 gloves in my bag ready to go- 8 left and 4 right, to swap out when they get sweaty and damp. I might also take some cheap right handed gloves and cut off the fingers above the first knuckle. That way I can keep some feel in my fingers and still have a secure grip when the palms are sweating out like a fountain.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
