johnnydoom I've never given gloves a fair chance. Where I live is so humid most of the time, and me already being prone to excessive sweating can't stand to have a glove on in those conditions. I went the cord grip route, but have tried a glove every few years. I just can't make myself fight through the comfort issue long enough to see if I would benefit from it.
Par4QC Never wear a glove. Hands used to be so rough I could sand wood without sandpaper. A byproduct of the work I did. I use either Lamkin CL or GP TV (the new type) grips, so no need for a glove with them, as my hands start to become less rough.
KCee I'll wear both rain gloves when it's really hot & humid out. It takes me a while to get sweating, but once it starts I'm drenched.
mulegolf fatshot Back when I actually wore a glove I tried those. I thought that they were very inconsistent. It seemed like one or two fingers were a different length from glove to glove. example: One glove the ring finger would fit well and the next it would be1/4" too long. I had one glove where two fingers were long and a third was short. I gave up on them. They seemed to be made of a heavier leather back then also, almost like a baseball hitting glove.
Eguller I never liked putting with a glove on, so last year I gave up wearing one. No issues. Much better.
mulegolf My hands sweat a lot when it hot out. When I wore a glove it seemed like I always needed a new glove. It would get soaked in just a couple holes and after a week it would get rotten and fall apart. I got sick of buying those expensive gloves and about that time I started building clubs. I found a Lamkin mid-size soft cord grip that solved the problem. The soft cord was easier on the hands than most cord grips and it gave me enough grip that I no longer needed a glove. Since that time (about 25 years ago) I haven't worn a glove unless it's cold out and then I wear two. I experimented with different gloves to see if I liked any of them better than the soft cord Lamkins. The best I ever found was from a company called Karakal. They provided a softer feel and were never slippery. Even if my hands were sweating heavily or in the rain they stayed tacky feeling. The end of the grip said it all, "The wetter the better." Sadly, they went out of business. I've never found another company that makes grips that I liked as well as the Karakal grips. Winn has come fairly close with the Dry Tack versions and that's what I play now. The only problem is that Winn grips always seemed to wear out quicker than some of the other grips.
Bravopilot Typhoon I like to think of it as "sensitive". I sweat drinking coffee.😎 Plus, I like to carry extra crap in my bag.
FauxAmish I never have a problem with gloves drying out and cracking. I always put my gloves in a gallon sliding baggy. Always remain soft as when they were purchased.
fatshot FauxAmish I always put my gloves in a gallon sliding baggy. Good idea....I'll have to try that !
Walterjn When I do wear one, I putt with it on. The hassle of on, off, on, off; is more than I want to deal with. Hey, I'm lazy... 🤣😂🤣
Typhoon fatshot FauxAmish I always put my gloves in a gallon sliding baggy. Good idea....I'll have to try that ! I’d rather the air dry so the bacteria dies and doesn’t live on in a moist baggy environment.
MidwayJ DonM This is me exactly. I can never get through the hot summer rounds without using one on the back nine, though. So far I've been OK but as you said the worst is ahead.
Bravopilot Typhoon Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I have a few strips of Velcro attached to my bag for the gloves. Have to be careful where I keep my clip for the cigar though. Can't have enough stuff.😎
ode I never wore a glove until I started playing regularly and now I would not go without. I keep a spare in the bag, as well as rain gloves.
