I still wear a glove, mostly out of habit from the days when I was too poor (and stupid) to regularly re-grip my clubs. Nowadays, I keep Tour Velvet grips on my irons in pristine condition and I'm sure I could play without a glove no problem.

I never buy expensive gloves either. Every winter I stock up on the clearance sale gloves, mostly last years models. This year I bought 9 really nice Etonic Tour AC gloves for around $40ish. Those will last me the season, plus a I have a few more left over from last year too.

Craig Stadler to Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy... "Here, use this -- it will help" (handing him a glove right before Roy hits a 250 yd. 3 wd. from the rough, stiff to the pin, over water).

If you get blisters, there is usually a problem with your grip, not the lack of a glove. What I've read is that it means you're gripping too tight. I can hit 300 balls at the range and never get a hint of a blister or a callous. I might get a sore back these days, but no problem with my hands.

I have small calluses in a few places on my hand (I'm the "no glove" guy - I'm like anti-matter to Tommy Gainey), but nothing people can even really notice. I just notice my skin is a bit thicker there.

The only semi-obvious location is on either side of my wedding band there's a little callus. I wear it when playing golf.

I don't know how you no glove guys do it. I hit two large buckets in one day a couple weeks ago without a glove and developed a big blister. And yeah, it was right below my wedding band.

I use the Footjoy WeatherSof. Only $9.99 a piece and seem to hold up well in Florida's high heat and humidity.

I saw one person who said they won't skimp on the cost of a glove and only will wear leather. I've always believed the glove is just used to dampen vibration and discourage you from squeezing the club too tight. A cheap glove has always done the job for me. What are people's opinions on the benefits of more expensive gloves?

Usually use a Callaway Pro-series. Somehow got out w/o a glove Monday and shot my beast round of the year.

85 - 36 = 49.

You can, with a clear conscience, say you shot a net 49? Oh, to answer the question -- I don't wear a golf glove.

I'm using a Footjoy right now. For feel and durability it's been the best I've tried thus far. The Nicklaus brand glove from Costco are pretty decent, and you can't beat the price.

Callaway - Costco 3 pair for $16

Just wondered what every1 was still wearing.

I was in Costco yesterday and was tempted to buy three Callaway gloves for $19. They felt pretty good and the third one in the pack was a "tour" glove that looked to be a little better. Anyone try these from Costco besides niblick and missin44?

I have been using the FootJoy F3 which is really comfortable and durable in my opinion.

If winning isn't everything why do they keep score?

Footjoy weathersoft here.

They seem to be a bit more durable than most gloves which is important for me.

I liked the titleist players glove, and right now I'm using the same glove that kenny perry is using. Very good glove but I've been worn them pretty fast. When I find a shop with the titleist glove, I'm gonna buy that glove. I like it better...
