I actually wear mine constantly when I play, even when putting. I'll take it off while walking if it's hot to keep dry, but I am much more comfortable with a glove on when I have a club in my hand.

I use a glove on my left hand, always have and probably always will. I usually have tape in a few places on my right hand to keep blisters away where i commonly get them.

I always take my glove off for putting however, and some short-game shots I will take my glove off as well, mostly "touch" or "feel" shots I would call them.

No glove here, I feel the club twist on slight mishits where the glove slides/moves between it and my hand. Just more stable without one.

No glove and no tape for me. The only thing I need to worry about sometimes is too much grip pressure, but blisters aren't really an issue and I feel the club much better without one.

Playing regularly again after a few years off. Started playing in 1999.

tape on the middle joint of the middle and index fingers on both hands 99% of the time...if for some reason i'm playing in humid conditions (not often, i live in socal where it's pretty much perfect all the time), i will put a glove on, just it is such a pain to wipe down teh hands and grip before and after every shot

Don't see the point of them myself to be honest.

Not while hitting the ball - marketing ploy.

Very soon I'll be wearing gloves, a knit cap (a touque in Canada) and a scarf between shots.

I have somewhat dry skin, so I use a glove for all except putting.

In weeks when I play twice and practice twice, my hands would be raw without the glove. Glove on the left hand also helps my right hand stay intact.

Focus, connect and follow through!

No glove.... except for my FJ winter gloves, and then only when the temp is below about 45°.

I don't wear a glove, haven't for many years. With cord grips I find it better to go without a glove. Also, I'm cheap, one less thing I have to spend money on!

I wish I didn't have to wear a glove because I have a ridiculous tan line. I just don't get as solid a grip without one.

You guys got me thinking about looking into different grips.

Been playing just a few months but I play almost every day.

What's in my bag: Distance Master Driver, Maltby Trouble Out woods/hybrids, Maltby KE4 Irons (all assembled by me so I can never blame my equipment).
