Golf Glove poll - wear one or not?

[PaPaD]

Do you wear a golf glove when playing? Why or why not? Anecdotally, if YES, do you remove it to putt?

 

[PaPaD]

No, I don't seem to need one, so why bother?

Nope, my Winn DriTac's keep my hands firmly where they need to be.

When I can play I have to wear a glove, I suffer from excruciating pain in all my joints so I need help holding on to the club without having to grip it so tight.

If I play in a group I will take it off to putt but if I am out playing by myself I speed golf so I leave it on while putting.

I voted no because most of the time I don't. I will wear one during the hot part of the summer though. Those Bender loves are very nice. It's what I use. Of course it helps that they sponsor our chapter of the MGA.

Wear one at all times when golfing. Driving, fairway woods hybrids, irons, wedges, and putter. I have been wearing Bionic golf gloves since I received a sample at the PGA Metchandise show 10 or so years ago. Additionally, I tape some key spots on my right hand for better grip/preventive measures.

Yes. It helps keep the club grip perfectly in place in the hand. Gripping the club properly is one of the set up fundamentals.

I do remove it to putt. Same old, same old reason. I get better feel when putting.

I remove it for pitching and chipping around the green also.

Oh, and I do put tape around a couple of the fingers of my right hand.

Spent many years not wearing a golf glove. The past 15, or so, I do wear one. Somehow got in the habit and now seen unable to play without one. I do believe much of my issue is with the arthritis in my hands. I have lost significant ability to close a fist and the golf glove assists with keeping a grip on the club. Take away my golf glove and you are likely to be dodging irons as they fly through the air!!!! :>)

When I played, I wore one tee to approach shot, then putted without. Worked for me.

For you guys who remove your glove to putt..... Taking time to do so would extend our 1 hour, 59 minute 18-hole round to 2 hours, 12 minutes. Totally and completely uncalled for!!!!!

Been playing so long (over 50 years) with one, it’s just part of the whole thing for me...take it off to putt...no idea why...and while we are on gloves, I have found the 5 dollar Wilson gloves from Walmart are just as good as any glove out there...got a buddy who pays 19 clams for his high end glove - makes me snicker...

I know some really good players who don't wear one but it makes me feel like I can keep a light grip without losing the club. Probably just mental. I don't take it off to putt. Can't tell the difference in putting with it on or off. My hands don't sweat much but I can understand not wearing one because of that.

My sister plays drums in our rock band. She wears one glove for golf and two while playing drums. Footjoys.

Aerobatic pilots are known to wear two as well.

I do wear one, but it comes off on the green. And sometimes for chips around the green, usually when I first considered putting then decided on a chip. Just too lazy to bother getting it back on.
