OK, just saw a comment somewhere and it reminded me, the "funny" twitter accounts ie GCW and PSW also take the mickey out of people wearing a black glove?

Where has this come from and what is the problem with it? I dont get it. PS. I own black glove!

I have a FJ WeatherSof in black when it's wet, does the trick!
 
I have to admit to buying a black glove at the weekend. Sale on NZ9 gloves in black and green and I liked the look of them so picked up a couple. Never really understood the problem with them to be honest.
 
I didn't know about the black glove problem myself as I'm fairly new to the game

I would wear a black glove if I could get one in FJ Sciflex - but never seen any I did have a little trouble in getting med sized gloves in white !
 
I wear a black glove wear black shoes carry a chipper and a ball retriever. I drive the ball a maximum 165yrs with a senior shafted driver. I use any ball that I can find even pink ones and some the dog chewed.
My clubs are the only set I have ever had Petron Impala's with a 1 and 2 iron in the set. I buy my golf clothing from charity shops or I ask my fellow members for hand me downs even the ladies?
I get to the club on my bike made up of spare parts from the dump, with my second-hand pencil bag on my back which I have had to darn at the bottom to stop things falling out of the hole that was there.to get out of bunkers I use an old spoon (no it really is an old spoon) and I putt with my foot.:o
 
You look like a Michael jackson tribute act with one black glove:o

a defence of chippers, ball retrievers and black gloves

seriously, you'll be tying your tee's together next so you don't lose them!!!!!
 
Black golf glove! <<sharp intake of breath smiley>> bit risky there! They sell them at the pitch & putt I think ;)

Tom Watson had a blue one on last week and he's 134 years old!
 
seriously now, can someone explain the stigma attached to a non-white glove. are you all glove racists? i seriously don't get it!

i love that my comment has triggered a new post :) as i said,i dont have a real issue with it, but i do find all the attached stigmatisms very funny. Even worse is putting with a black glove on!

these gloves that Jonas Blixt wears (Tom Watson also wore at the weekend) are terrible.

Why though!!?? what is the reasoning behind it? its a glove! does it really matter what colour it is?? the twitter accounts i mentioned will post pics of people wearing a black glove and ridicule them?!

I dont really know, but we all need something to laugh at.

You dont often see the 'better' golfer wearing a black glove but its a vicious circle, do they not wear them because of the stigma, or is it them not wearing them that has caused the stigma.

seems as though my list got removed from the other thread, but another one to add is people that carry their bags with their head through the loop and the strap across their shoulders. another thing that i find funny
