I don't as I feel it gives you more feel, makes you focus and it's part of my pre tee shot routine to put it back on, if that make sense.

Also if putting on the carpet at home do you bother putting a glove on??

I don't, but I don't know why. Just always been that way. I wear it for every other shot including chipping and it feels weird if I don't.

Not me. But I do in winter to stop my hand getting cold!

I always take it off for putting as I think its helps the feel. I have also taken it off between shot as it helps even up the sun tan an the hands!

I don't wear a glove for any shot.I fail to see how wearing a glove improves anything.If your grips and hands are clean,you shouldn't have any problems maintaining your grip on the club.

I take my glove off in-between shots and only put it back on for full shots. So it's off for putting, chipping and pitching. Don't know why it just feels natural.

never take it off unless its very hot and my hand feels sweaty

 

[Basher]

Mine comes off to putt. Goes back on when on the next tee.

 

[RGDave]

I don't. Then again, it's a different grip which doesn't exactly require the added grip a glove offers for full shots.
I know some players don't use one at all, which is fine, but I definitely feel more secure with a glove generally.

I dont use my glove for putting because I can feel the putter better. But its straight back on by the next shot of the Tee.

I might be a real freak here, but I take my glove off from 140 yards and in (an 8 iron and shorter) plus putting. Always.

I just find that it helps with feel.

 

[big_russ]

My glove comes off between shots and I never put it on for anything shorter than a 9 iron and in. I think I can feel the shot better when it matters most.

Never have my glove on for chipping and putting. Whether or not there is more feel without it I guess is subjective but I just feel more comfy not using one for those shots

Maybe you should LOL......

 

[Fyldewhite]

Don't wear a glove at all. When I used to wear one I left it on all the time. Couldn't be bothered with all that on/off/on/off hanging it out the back pocket nonsense.

Thanks for all your replies gents.

It seems nearly everyone doesnt wear a glove for putting....most people dont seem to have a particular reason other than the 'feel'.

I will give it a try without the golve for putting (if I remember to take it off ) thats the hard part...lol

I take it off as well. I use a left hand down grip for putting as I found this squared my shoulders better. When wearing a glove with this grip I find the feeling strange and distracting.

Glove on for power swings, off for touch strokes

Gloves only reason is to add additional grip and prevent blistering on your hand during full shots.

Maybe keeping it warm in winter.
