I was watching the coverage today and every time I saw JB Holmes I was reminded of how I don't like black golf gloves. Now, I have nothing against black colored apparel; I have several pairs black shoes, I wear black pants most weekdays, I have black hats, and I have plenty of other black attire as well. I can't put my finger on why, but black golf gloves just look wrong to me.

Anyone else share this sentiment?

I'm with you! I have absolutely no reason why I don't like the black glove look, I just do. I think they look wrong, like they don't belong. I suppose some people feel the same way about Tiger's shoes....but those I like...go figure. ;-)

Let's see ... I bought a 3 pack of golf gloves at Costco, who knows, maybe 4 years ago now.  It had 2 white ones and one black one (no idea why) and I've gone through the 2 white ones and countless others I've bought since then ... and that black one is still in the package in my bag.  It's unused in perfect condition so I can't bring myself to throw it out, but I have no inkling to want to wear it.

I wear all black. Hat, shoes, shirt, pants and black gloves on both hands. Keeps me warm in the cold and makes people wonder how I can stand in the sun on a 95* Ohio summer day and not sweat. Hey I need every advantage I can get

I have a rational reason for not liking black coloured golf gloves. It is already so hot, sunny and humid in my city, I don't need black coloured gloves to make me even hotter and stickier. White gloves all the way!

Robbers, limo drivers, and and hitmen are the only professions that come to mind that rock black gloves. I don't think any golfer is trying to emulate the look of either of those 3, so I'll assume that's where the dislike comes from. Hell, even construction workers and ditch diggers wear some brown or orange gloves.

Do a google search for asher deathgrip - the wife got it online, just not sure which website

As a sidenote, you may want to order one size larger than normal - they run a little bit on the small side.

Hey don't be "Player-Hating" the black glove,,,lol!

Dark clothes: I'll wear a black/navy hat, black belt, black shoes, black glove.

That's about where fashion ends for me, I have no plans of going to the all Orange outfits anytime soon!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
