Putting, with or with out the glove?

[TonyN]

Simple poll people. Who putts with the glove on and who doesn't?

I take mine of as I get alot better feel for the putt. Davethepro doesn't wear a glove for any of his wedge shots. Anyone else?

"No, I putt with out my glove on and hang it out of my back pocket like the pro's"

I went with the 2nd option, assuming it was to do with taking the glove off. Although I stick the glove to the velcro bit on my bag rather than back pocket, or leave it in the buggy if I took the lazy option!

Glove on for me, but that is bacause I am as likely to put back off the green as I am to putt into the hole!!!

 

[madandra]

I do both. If its hot I always take it off as it stops my glove getting wet.

Glove off for putts and possibly even tricky wee wedge/bump & run type shots across the fringe onto the green.

I don't have it dangling out my back pocket, I use the velco strip on my bag to keep it safe.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Glove off for all putts and most shots from around the green. I do put it in my pocket but in the main pocket and not from the back like the pros

I do put it in the old back pocket, but push it well down, so only the finger tips would show. Having half of it hanging out looks a bit limp to me.

I only wear my glove when it comes to hitting my shot. I like to air it when I'm walking down the fairway and leave it off for putting. I don't put it in my back pocket though.

 

[OldWindy]

Both for me. If the glove's off it gets stuck to a patch on the bag.

I leave it on. Usually because I ram it in my pocket, then take out my hanky to blow the old snot box and promptly lose it somewhere on the fairway, well rough if I am honest.

I sometimes leave it on sometimes take it off, as a rule if I think about it I will always make sure it's in my pocket before I putt but sometimes I just don't think about it and putt with it on. It doesn't really make that much difference to me tbh. I usually have more pressing things on my mind like how I am going to hole that monster down hill putt with half a mile of break left to right!

I always take it off between shots, and don't usually use it from about 50 yards and in.

I noticed a couple of weeks ago I had a clear tanline with a white left hand, and that was doing this, so leaving it on all the time must leave a really good golfers tanline.

I take it off for feel btw not to avoid tanlines!

I used to cycle a lot and amongst cyclists it was a kind of training snobbery that the more obvious your tanline the more you had trained. Maybe some golfers have the same idea!

 

[tincup]

i cant really pick any of the options has i dont play with a glove and havent done for about 6 years

 

[Down_The_Middle]

I leave it on. Only because I can't be bothered to take it off

 

[mik]

Glove off in front pocket - but for no other reason than I saw the pros do it before I started to play, and now it is habit.

 

[Imurg]

Agree with Down_The_Middle.
I keep mine on coz I'm too lazy to take it off. Also once I've got it on and comfy I don't like to change anything.

Glove off for anything within spitting distance of the green.

I didn't used to wear a glove for anything though!

 

[HTL]

Off for everything under 50 yards, unless im in the sand.

 

[andiritchie]

glove off inbetween all shots to try and keep my glove as dry as poss(sweaty hands you see)

Only wear the glove when playing a shot a) for comfort, avoids sweaty hands. b) vanity, i don't want one white hand.

back pocket, front pocket, velcro on bag, whatever is nearest.
