There are days when my ball striking is off but I putt well and I'm in the mid 70's. Other days the opposite; ball striking is good but my putting is off... again, mid 70's. When ball striking and putting is good I'm low 70's. Of course there are the days where neither is good and I get a taste of the 80's. Not my favorite taste... -
It’s quantifiable because you can literally count them and come up with a number. -
Is the implication that those who don't wear gloves don't hit as many balls? There are few pros, most famously Fred Couples, that never use a glove, and I don't think that they play or practice any less. Perhaps they have hands that take the wear and tear better? In my own experience, playing 3 times a week or more, my hands are actually better off not wearing a glove. I have even played 5 days in a row a few times and still had no ill effect. I use the Golf Pride MCC grips, which are half-cord hybrids (cord on the lead hand, rubber on the trail one), and other than the two calluses I mentioned on my lead ring finger (at the base of the finger and a smaller one on the ridge of the second phalanx), my hands are silky smooth... and I don't do much manual work either. 😉 Sure, when I first started and had the grip (and everything else) wrong, I was easily getting blisters, but after a while, I just kept putting a glove on out of the force of habit and/or because of the example shown by the pros: there must be a good reason why they do it, right? I mean, other than the marketing aspects... When I realized that wearing a glove was causing me to not grip the club strongly enough, creating this variation in grip strength throughout the swing that has been discussed at length in this thread, I tried to challenge the common perception and just try without a glove. It just stuck, perhaps because of an improvement in my grip contact with the club and/or increased pressure throughout. Anyway, I thought I would mention it, perhaps as something to try... -

The top 3 finishes show incredible consistency over a long period of time. But Jack is right, nobody remembers the "first loser" as Tiger calls it. Phil Mickelson has finished second place on 6 occasions at the U.S. Open. He has put himself in the mix during the final round many times. Unfortunately those second place finishes do not add up to a win for him, so he still short of the career Grand Slam just like Arnold and others.
