I personally dont, it feels like too much padding between me and the grip, it feels like im not connected to the glove.

I have to wear a glove or else it feels like the club might possibly follow the ball downrange. I probably loose 10 mph swing speed with no glove. Just my input!

I use a glove 99% of the time, I only take it off if glove gets wet or worn and I feel like I am not gripping club the way I would want.

I probably wear a glove 99% of the time. I wear the Titleist players glove. besat glove by far....not very thick ....just a nice this layer of fine cabretta leather. The only time i might not wear a glove is in the rain if i run out of new dry gloves because i hate rain gloves and its easier to keep your hands dry than weather gloves.

I can't make a full swing without a glove on. It just feels weird. Anything inside 50 yards I don't use a glove. I'm a headcase :russian_roulette: .

I have to wear a glove, can't play decent at all without one. A couple of clubs actually have followed the ball downrange.

No - Too hot here and my hands sweat too much and I end up going through gloves really quick. I've changed grips and that's helped

I recently switched to cord grips to prevent my hands from slipping, and I found that they ripped up my hands too much, so I now wear a glove.

I have to wear a glove- my hands just sweat too much not too. Usually rotate 3 at the range/course.

I wear a glove for pretty much every thing except putting. Unless of course I am walking up to the green to putt, only to find out I have rolled off and need to chip back on...in that case, it's not worth my time.


I just bought a FootJoy SciFlex for the first time an really like. Anybody else use this glove?

I'm weird with the glove, sometimes I like it for everything but chipping/putting, sometimes I can't stand it at all.. Its a toss up!

yes for swinging, no for putting. Although on hot days with an older, worn glove I get stink hand from sweat in my glove. Smells like a nasty sock. On the rare occasion I swing without a glove my left hand feels too small and weak.

I use a glove all the time. Seems like I'm replacing it about once a week these days. I guess that's normal considering how humid it's been.

Did not used to wear a glove for a number of years, but discovered that I needed it to stabilize a hard swing. I don't take it off for putting or chipping because I prefer to feel the putt with the right hand in lead.

I do not wear of glove when I am practicing, but I do wear a glove when I am playing. Not wearing a glove while practicing gives me more feel, but I wear one while playing to not only prevent slipping, but it relieves tension. Weird.

I do wear one, but only for the last 4 or 5 years - been golfing for 30. I had a table saw accident that tipped my index finger (only 1/4"), and removed extender tendon and finger nail of middle finger. Last knuckle on middle finger is basically fused in position. Doesn't really seem to make that big a difference in grip, but it does cover the ugly middle finger.

My biggest issue is still removing the glove when putting. I don't like it, but often forget until just before putting, and then I need to re-start my routine.

It's the old dog and new trick thing.

I wear a glove for every shot except Full SW, LW, 3/4 to 1/2 shots with Wedges, Pitching, Chipping and putting. For some reason I like to have more feel with the Wedge in hand. I use the Titleist Players Glove soft and supple and don't wear out as quickly as I thought. I also have the Titleist Perma Flex for Practice rounds and FJ all weather glove for wet conditions. Rotating gloves really helps with the wear factor as well as storing and drying them out properly.

I don't use a glove.

Now I live in the mid-Atlantic and it is more humid,
I switched my grips to Lamkin Full Cord.

I found that I didn't like the changing conditions that the deteriorating glove created. Maybe I was just too cheap to switch gloves often enough.

I used to not wear gloves but I didn't play for a while and then when I started back up my hands weren't callused and they got torn.

I've been using a glove lately because it gives me more traction with lighter grip pressure.

A couple of the guys I play with regularly have the "sweaty hand" thing going - they swear by the FJ rain grip no matter what the weather.

The more their hands sweat, the better the glove works (or so they say).

I have worn a glove since I started playing. Yesterday, while trying to get in 18 at Great Bear in the rain, my glove was pretty much soaked thru by the third hole and doing more harm then good. I played the rest of the round without a glove and I think I might try no glove for my next dry round.

I am thinking that the equipment companies have created this fallacy that you need to wear a glove, much like the greeting card companies make you feel like you need to send a Valentine's Day card. :D

I wear a glove when I hit any shot other than pitching wedges or around the green. Never do I chip or putt with a glove on..
