I was at the range the other day working on my iron play when I noticed that my glove is in worse shape than the famous knife-gripper pictured below.
So I’ve decided it’s probably time that I pick up a new glove. Now, in the past I probably would have just picked up the cheapest glove I could find at Wal Mart or Sports Authority. But since I am trying to actually improve my game, rather than use golf as an excuse to drink out-doors, I figured maybe I should do a little research before making a decision on my next accessory.
Through a quick Google search I came upon this helpful, albeit obvious, little guide to golf glove selection. From here it’s off to the pro-shop to see what strikes my fancy. I’ll keep you posted.
What kind of glove do you play? Have you ever changed gloves and noticed a difference in your game that you attributed to the glove?
I don’t wear a golf glove, although my friends say I should. The only thing is, I’m a righty and its my right hand that gets torn up by golfing, not my left. After a month or so of sitting out and my callouses (sp?) disappear, I get blood blisters on my right middle finger that usually burst while Im playing. It hurts a little, but not enough for me to wear a glove on my opposite hand. Maybe I should try the two glove approach like Dr. Cox on Scrubs.
