Gripping too tight.
Flipping through impact.
Could be a miriad of things.

maybe you're gripping too hard? However, gloves aren't indistructable, they will give up the ghost at some point. Think i get through a couple per season playing twice a week.

I go to the range alo. A glove would last me about 2000 balls

I've just worn through my first Titleist Player glove.
I brought 3 in April.
Once the glve gets a bit grubby, it's retired to the practice bag where it's used for the range/bounce games/practice and a fresh one used for qualifiers.
I play 4 times a week and it's only just given up the ghost.
I think I'd get through about 4-5/season.

I get a fair bit of wear on mine as well but I think it is because I grip my club to tight. No matter how much I try to keep a loose grip always seem to hold it too tight.

Tend to wear them in the pads. Know its a grip fault and something I need to change in due course

Ask a pro to check your grip and make sure that you are using the right thickness of the grip. I recently went up to a midsize after several years of using a standard grip with 2 wraps a tape.
I used to wear a small patch on the fleshy part of my left hand. (Right handed golfer).
Even if your pro changes your grip completely go for it, a good grip is vital.

tut tut change it now and grip with your fingers!!
I kill gloves but find that real leather ones last me longer.

What does flipping through impact mean?

Flipping is where you allow the club head to pass your hands into and through impact. See the left picture below:

don't think it's being left handed, although I am and used to wear my gloves there too.....
at it's most basic, the wear is occuring because your club is moving in relation to the thumb through the swing (or vice versa!)
in my case it was happening because of a strong right hand grip with the thumb actively getting involved in the swing - resolving this has meant that I no longer have to throw away gloves with holes in the thumbs (and as a byproduct I hit the bal a lot more consistently!)

I was wearing holes into the right side of the left palm...turns out I was holding the club a little to near the top...held it lower for a while an still on same glove
