What about a light blue one like Tom Watson is wearing for St. Andrews farewell?

beautiful glove but they are getting hard to get hold of, especially mens purple gloves.
just brought a green and an orange,
about £15, but shop around

There's nothing wrong with black gloves, or castle tees for that matter. In any amateur sport it seems the weekend warriors like us try to come with an unknown set of 'rules' that we can use to somehow set ourselves above newbies. It's really just what a sport with falling participation needs, a nice inner clique taking the pi$$ out of new players. It's not as if there are enough often ridiculous actual rules and dress codes to adhere to is it ?
I think it actually takes a bit of bottle to start playing golf, incredibly hard game and we all know how intimidating it can be the first few times you stand on the tee with people watching. The last thing newbies need is some self important d1ckhead sniggering at the them for the kit they're using.
Wear what you want, use what you want within the rules and play your own game and maybe try to encourage newbies. Amazes me that stuff like this comes up so often directly from the magazine on their social media feeds and then we have articles in the mag worrying about how we can encourage people to play.

I is confoos'd, is there an issue with black gloves, is it summat like blokes that have their right ear pierced or women who wear comfortable shoes (You know, them that bats for tother side if you gets my drift) or is it summat more sinister !...
I use a "Texas wedge" I don't use a "driver" my stand bags not made by "Callaway or Taylor Made" I don't wear the latest greatest "FJ shoes" I don't use "GPS or a Rangefinder" and I'll use the balls that I find when I'm cutting the rough (if I spot em before I chop em up that is) and I wear a glove on my left hand regardless of colour or condition, the only thing I draw the line at is using crap clubs cos I likes me shinies !...:thup:
