Do you use gloves?

I have given up using gloves because they wear out too fast or lose them.

Maybe it is because I don't swing too fast, I find not much difference with or without gloves. Just less hassle.

Bonus - no tan lines. What is your experience?

In a drizzle, i went on without glove at hole 2 & that is when i got a new driver.

I don't wear gloves when I'm practicing mainly for 2 reasons.
1. Wear out too fast unless I use high end ones but even those will just wear out after a week +

2. It forces me to put a death grip on the club, to accurately control the club face so that when I do use gloves, I have greater consistency. Might be just a placebo but hey! Who cares(;

My palms are sweaty...and i cant swing like boom boom couples so i do wear em like most

That said, i prefer no gloves on chips and less than full pitches...give more feel in my mind

Actually I sweat like a pig - my shirt is drenched after 2 holes - like just taken out of laundry without spin BUT my palms are relatively dry.

If I wear gloves - they are also drenched (probably from the sweat dripping down from my arms).

I wear gloves because it matches my watch.

i dont use for practice...only wear it for fun...but 99% of time..i dont wear

Its part of the attire. Isn't it?
Which sports let you wear 1 white golf on a single hand without looking stupid?

On the course, I dun wear fr chipping n puttg only.
Bt at the range, I usually dun use glove fr my 7-P, thereafter I put on!
Bt had a set of new shafts match w IOMIC grips fm BFG, grips re pretty tacky n sponge so sometimes I dun wear glove at all n it feels as gd!

Only for long game,

short game and bunker no glove.....

Must wear for protection... but never wear when holing a putt...

If I don't wear glove... I'll have 1 less thing to spend on golf...

Ha ha ha...

Joking...

On actual, I can't play without glove... Maybe I grip very hard... And my stupid hand only can use foot joy glove... Others just give me blister...

I find that I putt better with glove on too...

Actually the glove is not meant for protection ... if you grip the club correctly and with the right pressure, one should not have suffered any bruises or blisters on his hands even after hitting a few hundred balls ... But corns might still happen sometime ... Glove is actually meant to minimize slippage during the swing ... However, PGA Tour golfer like Fred Couple does not wear any glove to golf ...

even wearing glove i sometime get blister so i can't go without wearing it. maybe i grip too hard.

I dont wear gloves while putting or chipping for more feel

I wonder why when one wears glove on their left hand and not right hand, the right hand get tanned more than the left hand? limited protection from sunlight not counted as protection?

For right-handed golfer, the left hand is the control hand whilst the right hand is the speed hand. The control hand is critical (especially during downswing) to prevent the club from flying off your hand, to prevent slippage so that you have a higher chance of squaring the ball, etc.

Will handsome gloves like these change your mind?

Not true in my experience. My earlier post reads as follow:

"I have given up glove for the past 5 years. I have better feel without the glove besides saving some money, which is secondary. I also always carry a handkerchief in my pocket. In case it rains the handkerchief come in very handy as I use it to wrap around the grip. The feel is super good as the fabric bite into the tiny grooves in the grip and is non-slip."
