Do you take your glove off to putt?

No, it stays on all the round, why?

I find it mildly amusing when golfers take their glove off to putt because they 'get a better feel'.
Some still tuck it in their back pocket ala Arnold Palmer.

So your easily amused then :smirk:

I find I hole a lot more putts if I remove my glove and tuck it in my back pocket.
It usually makes 3 or 4 putts per round difference.

Putting is all about feel and the ability to make a repetitive stroke. A lot of people are more comfortable doing that without the glove (the primary use of which is negated seeing as we don't swing putters at 100mph). What's mildly amusing about that?

But have you had a fitting to make sure the back pocket is the right size ?
You're wasting your time otherwise..

I tuck my glove into my putter head cover - helps with my feel :thup:

Of course I have!

Never worn a glove in 60 years of golf, so probably not.

As I keep saying if gloves are so good, why not wear two?

I frequently do, i love playing in two gloves! I also love playing in no gloves too.

In fact I have had all my greatest golfing achievements in two gloves, a scratch cup, club champs nett 2nd and 2nd in a board stableford off the back tees.

It's just that if you take your glove off to get 'a better feel' the reverse must apply and you get a poorer feel when you put your glove back on for a chip.
I would also argue that all golf shots are about feel and making repetitive strokes.
The comfort thing I understand but you could also call it a habit.

See most people also chip without a glove

But then it's all about personal preference of each and every person with no right or wrong answer.

Whether a glove makes a difference to feel or not when I putt is arguable but I've always taken it off when I chip and putt and frankly it just feels more comfy now.
