I have been thinking about switching to playing without a glove and just curious to see what others are doing. Almost everyone I play with wears a glove.

i can't play without a glove, at least with my grips right now. I hit a shot once in my backyard, shanked it and almost broke a window. not doing that again...

grips???

get 'em re-gripped!!!

I haven't used a glove in years. And I will never go back.

I've used a glove since I started and feel absolutely naked without it on.

They're the winn softie grips that came with my clubs, i'm gonna put some lamkin tour black cords on them though

try wearing pants bruh, it helps amazingly with that "naked feeling"

I can wear them out in 1 round back when I started golfing... told myself that was too expensive...so I never tried them again.

My hands sweat a lot so I pretty much need one. Thinking of going to cord grips in the future though and no glove is a possibility with these.

I play with a glove on long shots but take it off when i have a wedge in hand. Putt without one too.

I cant play with cords because they are too hard on my hands so I have to wear a glove.

Is that why nobody wants to play with me.

Like Tiger Woods, I have sweaty hands and absolutely can not hit full shots without a glove. Tiger carries 12 gloves in the bag a round. I alternate between 3 a round.

i cant play without a glove.

in summer it gets to hot and your hands sweet heaps and in winter it gets to cold to take it off.

i do take my glove of to hit chips and putt bucause you need maximum feel for those shots.

I always wear one. I used to use the most expensive ones but I think they honestly are the worst. They only last about 2-3 rounds and don't feel nice either. So I use the Nike TechFeels, great gloves that are cheap! Ive had to same one for about 3 months now and I use it nearly every night, its amazing. I do take it off for chips and putts though.

don't wear them...i have bony hands and they dont' fit well...

I have GP tour wrap full cords and when it was cooler I was strictly no glove. Too expensive and cord grips tear them up pretty quick. July in Miami is pretty hot and I sweat like a machine so I have had to pick a few gloves up recently. I never wear one for touch shots or putting, and I try to rotate gloves every few holes or so. I now classify rounds by how many towels its going to be. Is it a two towel day or three?

"What's my target?"

Sweaty palmers who don't want to wear a glove- try tite-grip. If you request samples, they will send out a few.

The stuff works pretty well. You just rub it into your hands for a bit, then it dries a little tacky, but keeps your hands from sweating too much throughout your round.

I usually use a glove for tee shots and long iron shots and the sunblock I use actually is a little tacky when it gets on my grips, so I haven't really used the tite-grip too often. The sunblock is banana boat 50 spf.

I wear one for all shots except chips and putts. I too resemble a drowned rat when the weather gets hot (like all summer this year) so I carry at least 3 a round and remove it between shots. I have such short fingers tho that even cadets are too long which is a nuisance to which I'm accustomed. I find that they help with checking my grip, when my cord grips start scuffing the heel of the glove I'm holding the club too much in my palm. I need to remember to grasp it with my fingers instead which prevents that scuff from becoming a hole and leads to much better club control and greater distance.

With a glove my hand feels more secure on the club. It fills up all the little spaces between you fingers and grips.

Haven't worn a glove in more than 10 yrs. Much too expensive and uncomfortable in the heat as they get/got slimy, then dried stiff and unplyable. Use Tour Velvet or similar grips and ALWAYS carry a damp towel to clean my hands of sweat or suntan lotion. It also helps to periodically scrub the grips to keep them tacky and remove any accumulated grime and/or sweat. The reason for going gloveless initially was to increase feel and to reduce the "death grip" that I had on the clubs. Once I had realized that I could control the clubs on the practice range, I stopped wearing a glove during play.

Glove. Its hook city without one.

Can't ever wear a glove again. After not wearing a glove for some time I could never go back. I've tried and it feels real awkward and bulky. Only problem is these hot and humid days of summer down here in Atlanta.

I live in Texas, dont talk about hot.

I was really broke a few years back and couldn't afford them and I will never go back now. I have so much more feel with out one, even with my driver and fairway woods. The second round out without a glove I socored my career best at the time, Shot a 75 and never broke 85 before than, now i shoot in the seventies and low eighties much more regularly. In warm weather i just carry a towel with me and dry my hands and grips before shots.

i use a glove but a thin glove the Titleist Players glove....i can actually play without a glove tho......When im playin in bad weather eg. rain...i will go without a glove bc i hate rain gloves...its easier to keep your hand s dry...tho the Nike dri-fit tour glove is excellent in all weather and i do use them in bad weather.

I'll always wear a glove when I play, only take it off for putts.

It's odd though how some of you cite that they're too expensive. In comparison to that $400 driver, that $100 pair of shoes, that $150 putter, or even that $40 box of Pro V1's, a $15 glove should be nothing.

I decided not to wear a glove b/c i too got tired of shelling out money for gloves that wear out way too quick.

I wear a glove on drives, long shots, etc... but at around 100 yards I take it off.

I always use a glove unless i am putting...

i used to wear gloves when i first began playing, but i would always forget to take them off or put them back on after putting so I stopped wearing them. Also hate how you get the odd looking untaned left hand "billy jean" and "beat it" is soooo 80's. plus not wearing a glove is just one less thing to worry about when playing golf. nothing a dry towel can't fix for sweaty palms and wet grips

I wear one with my driver, without glove on all other shots. I've tried going completely no glove but lose control of the driver without it. Never was comfortable wearing a glove, and only wear one when absolutely necessary. I'm also one of those people who sweat by the bucket, but even in the summer I try my damnest to keep hands dry so I dont have to put a glove on.

Same here. I like using it for the driver, but find I hit myirons better when I don't use one.

no glove here... i started with one, but have since gone away from it...

Cant play without one in any temp above 75*, my hands tend to perspire a lot. I wish I could, it would save alot of $$ over the years

i dont have the feel w/a glove that i get w/out it...not for me...

Quit wearing a glove at the beginning of 06. Will never go back to a glove. Love the feel and wonder what took so long. I use full cords without problems.
I keep a roll of medical tape ($4) in the bag and will put a wrap around my ring finger on my left hand if necessary. Usually when playing the day after a long range session.
Has also saved alot of money which takes the guilt of buying expensive balls.

(I can't believe no one has said this yet.)

No Glove, No Love.

I gots to protect my delicate, silky smoov hand.

I wear a glove on all sots except short chips, bunker shots and putts.

Used to play with a glove until one day this spring it was raining and my glove got all wet and slippery. Took it off, played great without and haven't used one since.

I did buy a rain glove just in case, but haven't used it yet

I haven't used a glove in years and can't see why I ever used one. I usually play with cord grips in the summer and never have a problem -- in fact I think cord grips are probably easier on my hands because they reduce slippage.

P.S.
When I switched to no glove several years ago, it did take me about three weeks to get used to it. My hands were sore at first. I paid attention to having a correct grip throughout the swing; I played better and my hands didn't hurt. Occasionally I will notice a little slight chafing at a couple of the pressure points -- it's easlily traceable to sloppiness with my grip -- and, when I correct it, back to no problems with no glove.

I got tired of spending money on golf gloves. I havent used one all this year and dont think Ill ever buy another. I think the glove made me grip the club harder, but, maybe its just a mental thing. WHY do people take off their Glove to putt? I always left mine on.

play with a Nike Elitefeel Black

In rain i dont use a glove.
When its dry i do for added comfort.
titleist players glove or wilson staff pro soft with club logo.

No Glove here, too expensive, been playing w/o for 20 years

I wear TWO gloves. I've never understand the rationale for one glove. I do get a lot of "So what's up with the two gloves?" I just say: "What's up with just one?"

I use rain gloves year round, except when it's really cold I'll use winter gloves. Rain gloves just grip better if you are sweaty or it's raining, and I just wet them if they don't seem to be gripping well. They also last a long time.

I don't take the gloves off to putt - too inconvenient (especially wearing two).

For me, playing without a glove would be like playing without one of my shoes on.

i golf too frequently to pass up using a glove. if i dont use a glove i get blisters because my crappy grips tear my hands up I usually get around a month out of each glove (mostly footjoy) but every now and then i get more than that. I wear only 1 glove and dont take it off when i putt. i get alot of crap from the people i play with when i dont take it off but it doesnt matter as long as i make my putts.

I want to go without a glove but can't seem to get used to the feel. As it stands, I am a glove man.

no glove, just like Freddy.
