Golf Glove or No Glove???

[Gordon McTavish]

No glove here. I find that bare hands offer more grip.

Definitely a glove. I get blisters on my hand if I don't wear one.

Have you ever tried bear hands?

I give golf companies more than enough of my money already. I'm not paying 15 dollars for one paper-thin leather glove.

Always gloves other than wedge shots and putts.

Not without mid-size grips I haven't.

my gloves must be malfunctioning because if I wear one it will last about 4 holes and then its soaked and doesn't provide more grip, but less. I take it off and start hitting better shots so I think I'm gonna start going without and see how that works out for me.

I have messed up hands and have to wear two gloves for everything including putting. I'd love to play without gloves, but I wouldn't make it past the 2nd tee.

I wore an old glove too long and started to blister up on my thumb after extended sessions at the range. I know that I tend to grip too tightly which adds tension, but even when I don't, I get a sore thumb. I need a glove.

I like the glove. I've played a few holes without, but it just doesn't feel right.

Did you start playing golf with a glove? Do you have stock grips? If you ever decided to go gloveless full time, you might have to tinker with various grips.

I started the game gloveless. A couple seasons later I started wearing a glove because everyone said I needed one - that always felt wrong to me, so I see your point.

So do you play with a glove or without one? Gloves don't "fit like a glove" for my hand, I'm not sure why. I think the majority of "rubs" and the occasional blister are caused by the glove. I really liked Golf Pride's Tour Wrap 2g grips (have stock grips right now) and was thinking if I were to put those on I might be able to just go gloveless.

has been gloveless since i started playing golf. the left palm has calloused.

I need a glove, I am one of those guys who has sweaty hands during the hot and humid days, I find the glove helps.

I use a glove always, but I still have the stock grips on all my clubs. I'm thinking about getting them re-gripped (it's been almost two years since I bought all of them). Pretty excited about that. I'm sticking with the glove for now though. I enjoy the ritual of putting it on and taking it off between shots as I plan my next move.

Me too, but when I dropped the glove, I couldn't be happier with not having to fiddle with it all the time.

No glove. Keep one handy, but barely use it. Even on the range, no glove, but after 100 balls, I'll need some tape. If I go on a range bender, then the hands get pretty raw and red, but still playable. No problem with chipping or pitching. Figure I saved $50/year over many years not buying gloves regularly.

I have found that I hit it better and more consistent without wearing a golf glove.  Especially with my irons.  Anyone experienced the same?  It may be that my grip is looser, but not sure.

I only wear a glove when it is very cold or very hot.  I prefer no glove because I feel it lets my hands work better together.  Otherwise I feel the glove hand sticks to the non gloved and I get a binding.  Not sure id that makes sense but it works for me.
