How do you guys handle gloves? i used to be a one glove kind of guy. I would use it for tournament play, practice rounds, range sessions, etc. Now, I'm thinking of alternating between 2 practice round gloves, 2 tournament play gloves, and a range glove. My next question is about gloves with thick heel pads. Is there a glove with a thicker heel pad than the Footjoy Weathersof?

haven't been able to decide on rain gloves either. Either going to be the Taylormade H2O or the Footjoy ones. Anybody have any opinion on which provides the better grip and is more durable?

I would be interested in a new pair of rain gloves. The one I have is made by Wilson and it takes wetting it to make it work. I hate having wet gloves against my hands because it's going to lead to rheumatism in the future.

If your worried about the heel pad, you are gripping it way to tight and losing distance.  It's a golf glove not a baseball batting glove. if you want more padding there, look into a baseball batting glove. I like my gloves super soft.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
