Maybe not 80 in, but chipping about the green and putting, glove is off.

Same as above just doesn't feel right without a glove,and it's on for the whole round unless it's very hot and it gets wet with sweat .then I just put another on in its place
Take the glove off for all short game shots and putting. Did it as a kid as I saw the pros doing it on TV so followed suit. Not sure it'll give me that much more feel but it's something I've always done and so wearing it on chips feels wrong and if you feel uncomfy before you hit a shot it invariably on turns out one way so I stick to glove off

Out of curiosity, how long does a glove last and how much does a glove cost?
Depends on how much golf you play and more importantly how good your golf grip is. I have an issue with mine and so wear a hole in the palm regularly but a leather glove being used twice a week (and assuming not damaged by getting wet) will easily last me 6-8 months. Tend to bulk buy so price varies dependent on who is offering what deal

I pay around £5-6 per glove, usually in a 2 glove discount deal at AG. I get 8-10 months out of a glove. I used to get much less but that was a grip issue and since resolving that I get good mileage out of them. Not much when you think about the amount of usage I get from them.

I only wear a glove when it rains. The first chance I get to take it off I will.
Absolutely no need for a glove with modern grips.
Two gloves in the rain makes perfect sense.

I buy one at about £17, and then bin it off when it is crackered. Could be one round, could be 5 or 6 weeks. Who knows?

Play with a glove on, putt with a glove off.
I have tried going without a glove, but didn't like it and subconsiously gripped a little more tighter than I wanted to.

My hands were free and, so far, I've never had to replace them.

I'm so used to wearing one it feels odd If I don't. I take it off between shots and don't wear it at all for putting.

And I thought I was sensitive 😄

I forgot my glove once and quickly had a blister on my thumb.

I've become used to wearing a glove for all shots other than putts.
I think it's important to remember it is ideal to grip the club with less tension rather than more.
Also worth saying that someone with a faster swing speed is going to get more from a glove than those with a slower swing.
