Golf Gloves

are few and far between. There have been a few notable exceptions however, Fred Couples was one who simply never wore one his entire golfing career. The reason most do though is simple, it assists with your grip, enabling to you keep more control of the club especially in hot or wet conditions. It also protects your hand against unwanted abrasions, not wearing one can often lead to some painful blisters and cracked skin. 

Some of you may wonder why the glove is predominately worn on the top hand, (the left hand for a right-handed player), and it is because that is where most of the friction occurs during the golf swing. The top hand is the controlling hand. 

There are many different styles of golf glove to choose from. There are all-weather golf gloves leather golf gloves and some that have all-weather backs and leather palms. The all-weather style of golf glove tends to be the thickest and are therefore the most durable. If you are a fairly new player than all-weather golf gloves are the best option.  

Leather gloves offer the most feel as they are significantly thinner than the all-weather ones. Favoured by pretty much all good players they will wear out quickly if you have a poor grip and excessive friction is created. The all-weather back and leather palm golf gloves are a lower cost leather option for golfers who are improving and want to make the switch to a leather golf glove 

There are also waterproof rain gloves which have been an absolute revelation for playing golf in the rain. The older golfers amongst you will surely remember the days when, in heavy rain, the golf club would completely slip out of your hand and fly down the fairway after the ball. Thankfully, the rain golf glove has made that scenario a thing of the past. As this glove gets wetter it actually grips the club better. These can be bought as either individually, or as a pair. It is recommended to wear these golf gloves as a pair though. 

A relatively new addition to the golf glove line is the thermal golf glove, ideal for those winter fourballs and cold winter range sessions they really do keep the cold out. Also worn as a pair.
