I've only played a couple of rounds without one. I don't know how people can bare the pain on there hands without ones (maybe it's because I play everyday? idk)

What pain? I play just about every day.

Pain can really only come from bad swings, because the only thing that can cause pain is having the grip slide or move in some way. Hit the ball fat, thin, or somewhere where the club twists and you have a bad swing. Swing in such a way that you regrip or aren't properly supporting the clubhead at the top and you'll get some pain. And contrary to what you may also think, a loose grip helps. Many people who rip up their hands grip the club too tightly. So, if you're ripping up your hands playing golf, something else ain't right (and you're going to go through your gloves far more quickly than you should be, too).

Today I didn't use a glove at the range, and I actually liked the feeling better than with a glove. I think I'm gonna go with no glove for a while.

I wear a glove except when putting ... I like the feel of the putter without a glove because I seem to get better feel.

I have to wear a glove - too sweaty without one. I take it off to chip and putt. I have tried some of these synthetic gloves, and i don't like them at all. I like to go with a nice soft leather glove.

I like playing without a glove, as it`s pretty comfort, almost as not wearing underwear (don`t tell anyone I said that...)
But, if I don`t wear a glove at all during a regular round, I`ll probably get a couple of blisters.
I enjoy using Titleist`s Players glove... You should check it out.

I have made one hole in one this far. While you are reading this, I am most likely out on the tee trying to sink another one

I have to have it, in the summer especially, or else the club may fly out of my hands. I keep it on while chipping, but I do indeed take it off for putts.

I find if I practice without one I get blisters, so I have to play with one to keep the feel the same. However I take it off for short chips and putting as I like to have more feel.

I started no gloving it when I started playing with a pro that was on the Tommy Armour tour (early 90s). He turned me on to Tour Wraps and bare hands (plus I was broke). I always play with a towel with a damp corner. A quick wipe of the grip and sometimes the hand and I am ready to go. It has never failed me and I live in the capital of humidity, SoFla. I always grin whenever a playing partner has to stop in the pro shop to buy a new glove.

Wish I didn't need gloves but without doing manual labor my hands just aren't calloused enough. Also with the weather here in Miami you get so sweaty you need the extra grip - I actually use two gloves. What a PITA.

No gloves, unless the rain or cold absolutely require it.

I don't like that extra layer between my hand and the club

During the summer I never use gloves. I prefer to "feel" the club and with gloves on it just doesn't feel right IMO. However, during the winter it can get pretty cold here so I do have to wear them. I only have one pair of wintergloves.
