Glove off/on - just time wasting posers?

[Whereditgo]

Depends on the weather - if its hot then the glove comes off to prevent the hand getting uncomfortably hot and to avoid the white hand situ mentioned above. In cooler weather usaually stays on from 1 - 18.

Generally jus take mine off for putting, as I like to think it gives me a slightly better feel on the putter. Probably doesn't actually make any difference.

 

[viscount17]

gave up on gloves, could never get one that fit properly or if it did it soon stretched out of shape.

the drawbacks
grips need to be cleaned more frequently,
my bag (Wilson) is a pretty poor design (pockets are cut less than generously) so that in inclement weather when you need extra towels there is nowhere for them.

On at the 1st off at the 18th, I just put it on and forget about it.

I odnt wear a glove but might start too.

I remove it for short game and putting to give me a better feel.

And when I remove it, I pull a little bit of each finger off then pull it all at once, fasten the velcro and then have it half in half out the back pocket just so I can look like a pro! O no wait, its just the easiest way to have the glove!

I take mine off maybe 3 or 4 times a round just to give my hand an airing. I don't get any benefit taking it off for putting.

On before shots and off straight after and into the back pocket with fingers hanging out (in good weather obviously). Both my front pockets are full of things like tees/ball markers/pitch repairers/pencils/hankies etc Room for the glove in back pocket so thats what I use , it airs the fingers out too so its not all crumpled up and sweaty.

Cant really see the problem and as for looking like a pro...lol whats that all about??

Putting the glove back on/picking a club/wiind direction etc etc , its all done while my playing partners are playing their shots. Putting a glove on takes 5 seconds at most , its the endless practice swings that slows play up , thats what gets my blood boiling.

I'm exactly the same. Further to the back pocket thing, why would you put it anywhere else? Front pocket 'screws' the glove up and doesn't keep it flat and I just don't like the idea of velcro tags on bags.

On on the 1st - off on the 18th

Unless I need a "Jimmy"!!!!!!!!!

 

[RGDave]

I take mine off for putting and it goes in a pocket, not hanging out.

I have to say that recently I've also been taking it off or at least undoing it between shots.....it's kinda hot in this weather.

It tends to come off as soon as I'm on the green or around the green (unless in a bunker)....never really considered it before

I have to say, I do enjoy hitting the green and removing it miles down the fairway whilst watching my partners make a hash of things!!

 

[Smiffy]

Goes on on the first tee and stays on until I walk off the 18th....only time I take it off is when I want to roll a fag. You ever tried rolling one with a glove on?

Once I've rolled my fag, that is my "trigger" to concentrate on puffing like a good 'un....

 

[patricks148]

Glove off for putting, also off for a pee in the bushes!

 

[Paul2009]

In the winter I play 1st -18th glove on.
Summer I keep the glove on up till putting then put it back on, on the next teebox so to give my hand a nice cooldown. That crap guy putting his glove in his back pocket like a pro sounds a bit of a poser.

 

[viscount17]

tbh, I think the back pocket is the most convenient place to put a glove though if we could have a nice 'cargo' pocket on our shorts . . .

In the words of the late, great Dick Emery "Oh you are awful, but I like you!"

Mine comes off and in the pocket between shots. My hand sweats if I keep it on.

KeefG on the other hand, keeps his on all the time and even changes his car tyres with it on

I thought I was tight! He still has the price on his and it's in £ s p

 

[big_mean_bunny]

I take mine off for putting, although until I changed jobs this Jan I used to always wear a glove on each hand for the last couple of years due to working in construction and continually having hands that would tear apart during play

 

[rgs]

Glove generally stays on from 1st tee to 18th green.

As a result the left hand is a whiter shade of pale than the right---"Golfers Tan".

 

[Herbie]

Im a put it on before the round and off at the end sort of guy, or I dont wear one at all.
