Started playing with a glove again last year after about 20 years of going gloveless. I take it off to putt.

Nope.  XL is too small and 2XL gloves bunch up in my palm.

Always have except for putting.  I've tried a handful of times without and just didn't feel right to me, felt like I was prone to grip tighter.

I always wear a glove when playing and in the early season I wear a glove on both hands with tape on the pressure points until the calluses return.

when I started I did,  but haven't worn a glove for over 15yrs now and can't see any reason why I will either, thankfully have never gotten a blister or blisters either,  when I played Mens softball I didn't wear a glove or gloves either...honestly don't think it matters 1 way or the other, personal preference imho and comfortably

I voted for "sometimes"...I wear a glove only when hitting my driver.  It's more routine/habit than anything else, although I do have a "rougher" grip (Pure DTX) on my driver than other clubs.

I do wear a glove when practicing.

Once you get used to glove-less it's freeing. One less thing to hassle with. I was always losing it or forgetting to buy a new one to replace a worn one.

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

some of its mental, but using a glove can reduce your swing weight several points. I really do not notice it. My main reason for a glove is wear and tear on my palm edge and finger.

Yeah, two of them all the time. Hardly ever take them off during a round. Biggest reason for wearing two, is for skin protection from the sun, since we get over 300 days of sun shine out here. I carry 3 pair and change them out as needed during a round.

a long while back, I made a post (partly in jest), of wearing a pair of garden gloves. They actually felt pretty good,were not at all bulky, tops were cloth, bottoms rubberized. I caught a lot of flack, but you know, they were not half bad and a lot easier to pull on and off than regular golf gloves.

99c store.

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
    • Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.
