im 14 and do not have a lot of income so no glove. My mom says she will let me find a summer job though so saving up for green fees, range balls, or something else.My mom already pays for lessons.:)

I don't wear a glove either. I think that it takes away from my feel and I have yet to experience an advantage from wearing one. I play GP Tour Velvet Cords and have no problems with then eating up my hands either. My only exception to this is in the rain. If it's raining really hard and I can't keep my grips dry, I will wear glove outside of 100 yards. I find that a good glove and corded grips work together pretty well in heavy rain.

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

Dude thats nearly 7°C,Thats a heatwave in Ireland I went to work this morning in a T-Shirt and it was 6°C! As I have a manual job(Electrician) I have fairly tough hands so I don't get blisters at all,though I can now see some benefits for some people to wear gloves if they get blisters

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him

I use to not play with one, but ever since I moved down to Florida I really need one. My hand got really sweaty once when I was at the driving range and my club slipped out of my hand and went about 50 yards.....Ever since then I have worn a glove.

I'm also glove-free. I started playing golf as a starving grad student, so I learned to save a bit of money by playing without a glove. If I played a lot, like several rounds in a day or multiple days in a row, I'd wear one. Otherwise my hands would get chewed up. But most of the time I only play a half round, so I don't need a glove.

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

Just got home from the course an hour ago.

It was well over 90 degrees and the humidity could be sliced with a knife. All in my threesome rotated out gloves all round long. Glad I took four bottles of water with me...the course has none available on the course.....it was thirsty work playing today. I simply don't see how someone could play in this area and not wear a glove (and not game corded grips, for that matter). I do know guys who go sans glove.....I can't understand how. I need the crutch.

No glove here. And no blisters either after I lightened my grip pressure. Slamin' Sammy used to say "hold the club like you would a bird". He said if you get blisters, you're squeezin' too hard.

Once leather gloves lose their water/sweat resistance I find them useless. So I started playing rain gloves exclusively for quite some time. They are the greatest thing if you sweat tons and want to play with gloves, no need to rotate and they last significantly longer (do need to wash them regularly otherwise they smell like

) Anyways wanted to play without a glove to work on grip pressure and got hooked on this hand sanitizer looking product that is called dry hands, keeps them 100000% dry.

I've got a couple of pairs of rain gloves....those things really only work when they are fully saturated...at least the type I have. I don't think I'd get decent results with them under normal weather conditions.

The dry hands stuff sounds interesting, though.

I use the fj rain glove and even dry it works well with the GP multi comps. Here is a link to the dry hands product I was talking about,

I used to never wear one but now i do because of blister problems. I do like the feel of having all my fingers on the grip but the glove gives me stability because i swing very hard at the ball and sometimes the grip slips. Now i also keep the glove on when i putt. I guess its a preference and everyone is different. I find that i get blisters all over my left hand when not wearing a glove when i practice.

No glove here. Large towel, w/ bottom 12" wet. I clean my grip with the wet end, wipe dry with other end. Feels like a new grip on every shot. It's actually part of my routine.

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
