Golf gloves...marketing managers dream by exploiting fools.

If golf gloves are so great why don't folk wear two.


In 60 years I have yet to hear a decent defence of that question.

Doesn’t every tour player use a glove? Are they all just the victims of marketing hype or could it be that they actually do serve a useful purpose?

Never worn a glove... Never felt the need...
Doing 'proper' manual type work my hands were as rough as old boots...
Not sure how the desk jockeys get on with their smooth as silk hands...

I spoke to a club pro only last week who told me he didn’t wear a glove. He said there was no point, grips have improved immeasurably over the years. As for the tour pros I would wager that the majority have never even tried to play without one since they first took up the game and just followed everyone else.

I only wear one for the rain. even then I hate it and cannot wait to take it off. my grips work just fine without one.

The downside is that you may have to change grips more regularly...
Happy to live with that...
Cost of regular new gloves would be more I suspect...

I don’t wear a glove either. I sold my 2 year old set of irons with original grips ( roughly 150 rounds) on golfbidder and they were rated as good.

I find a glove very useful, my hands seem to sweat far too much, think it may be a medical condition.
Plus it makes me look really cool.

Moaners, that's what I'd ban.
Some people moan about anything, including the use of someone using their mobile! I mean, what's that all about, it's 2018, get over yourselves.
If you want to be in peace, go sit in a library!

Is it a sign of what a bunch of miserable buggers when a thread about banning and a thread about irritations are the most popular:D

Have fun, meet new people, stay over, get pissed, find a revolving dancefloor, dance like you're a teenager again and stare at the barmaids whilst eulogising about your youthful self. That's about it really.

Trainspotting!

You need that as a sig’ (or whatever it’s called)

You’ve always spoke sense mate.. A York reunion is needed!:thup:
