My first round in the pouring rain - slippy slippy

[Agent Pies]

So, my first round in the pouring rain today. As if this game isn't hard enough for a relative beginner, the rain made it worse!

So do you chaps use dedicated rain gloves? Do they really help? My clubs were slipping out my hands quite a lot

The FJ rain grip ones do help with the grip in the rain :thup:

A pair of rain gloves will make a massive difference to your grip in the wet. A single works ok if you can give the grips a good wipe to allow the non gloved hand some grip but with a pair you'll never worry about whether the club will slip or not. I use FJ but a lot swear by macwets.

I discovered rain gloves last year - best thing ever - just don't expect them to keep your hands warm as well - I'm with Phil in recommending FJ ones

 

[Agent Pies]

The FJ ones seem much easier (and cheaper) to get hold of!

I've got one macwet, but in the past I always used to keep some of my older worn gloves in the bag.

It helps if you can swap gloves every 3-4 holes.

I've got Macwets and they are very good, work much better as a pair rather than just a single glove.

A much cheaper alternative is a pair of marigolds or ordinary latex gloves as worn by mechanics etc, they are very effective :thup:

i bought some mac wets 2 years ago and so far only worn them once or twice and not at all this year been very luck rain wise

When I bought some mac wets for some reason they were cheaper in the equestrian section on the popular auction site - same gloves

What's the difference between the Raingrip and the Raingrip extreme?

 

[louise_a]

I don't wear a glove normally but I do have a FG rain glove for the wet weather and it is a big help.

I got a pair of Macwets. Feels a little strange having two gloves on but they do the job
