I always play with 2 gloves. I'm actually just wearing rain gloves because my hands tend to get quite sweaty. And they are very comfortable and would make good use in cold weather.

Started playing golf July '11, 14 years old

 

Best round (9 holes): 40, Blissful Meadows Golf Club - August 4th, 2012. (Played tips too)

Best round (18 holes): 85 (40, 45) Summerside Country Club (PEI, Canada) - July 2012


I don't do it but when I look at my dry dirty right hand at the end of a round, it seems to make sense. I volunteer at the pro and semi pro tours here in San Antonio. EVERY pro golfer's hand I have ever shaken is soft and callus free. Totally different from my own hands. This makes me think that I must be doing something wrong. Two gloves would help solve my right hand's dryness and dirtyness. It took a long time to figure out how to grip the club without callusing the right hand. Yes, I had professional help, but it took a while for it to sink in.

I use a pair made by footjoy. They're not bulky and I get a good grip when using them. But since they're still pretty thin, they aren't the best for keeping the cold away, but they do just enough. It's a balance between comfort and still being able to grip the club well enough. They sell all sorts of winter gloves at Dick's.

My dad uses two gloves. He only plays maybe 8-10 times a year at the most and doesn't feel its worth having blisters on his hands for a week after playing if he's not even out there often enough to build up the proper calluses. Also, I think he just likes the feel of them or else he'd just get better grips to help prevent them in the first place.

I second the winter gloves. They are nice and they have a slot on the left hand for a tee.

I don't find them "warm" per se, rather they help a ton against wind and cold temperature.


I player with two gloves when I was younger. I've found that a couple of weeks playing will quickly fix any issues I'm having. If you're experiencing issues after two or three weeks there's probably a deeper problem you should investigate (swing, grip, etc.).


I have never played with golves on both hands.  I don't know if it is because it is a weather related thing, but I live out in Los Angeles and I have never needed to "stay warm", so I usually just use a glove on my left hand.  It helps with grip and swing control.

    • Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

    • A hair under 190. It was pretty downhill, though, so I think we were playing between 180-185 to the pin. My 6 iron went 187 according to shot scope and ended up 18 feet away.
    • That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.
    • No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
