Greetings fellow golfers.

A few weeks my favorite golf glove was dispatched to Golf Heaven. It
was an all-leather Titelest. Since then I haven't been able to
replace it with one of similar or superior quality. I have purchased
six different gloves since then. From the Wal-Mart cheapies to an
expensive Bionics. (Now that is leadership.)

I have noticed that after a few holes, there is no difference, they
all feel and perform well. Does anyone else notice this?

And remember to vote for Palin Ahhnold in 2012.

Bullshit, most gloves are such garbage, I wouldn't wipe my ass with them.

Buy FootJoy Weathersof gloves, dumbass.

That would be an expensive ass wiping. And it would not show
leadership.

>Buy FootJoy Weathersof gloves, dumbass.

No need for name calling. There is an ancient Chinese saying that I
just made up. I shall quote it exactly. "The wise man never uses
insults to prove his point, asshole."

Anyways, I have been considering a Footjoy Weathersof, I'm glad you
approve of them. One of my favorite gloves is a Maxifly cloth glove.
In hot weather I put it under cold water and it keeps my hand from
sweating. Also, while it is wet and sweat is dripping from your
forehead, wipe your face off to stay cool.

Never let your opponents see you sweat. That's leadership.


And vote for Palin-Ahhnold in 2012.

I never play a round of golf with a single glove. I rotate, between at
least two to let the other one dry out.

Do you throw the used gloves to the crowd? Now that's leadership.

I don't wear a glove (I have tried) and I struggle to see the benefit,
never really understood why golfers wear gloves. What are the
benefits?

For the same reason you wear gloves for anything else, to protect your
hands. A glove keeps me from getting blisters. I wear shoes to
protect my feet, and gloves to protect my hands. Also I get a better
grip with a glove. If you feel you don't need one, don't wear one.


And vote for Palin-Ahhnold in 2012.

Wouldn't two gloves protect better?

Not to mention that when you masturbate with the glove on, it's like
someone else's hand.

I only need one.

BTW, in my gym bag I have bicycle gloves and weight lifting gloves.
All for the same reason, they protect my hands during these
activities.

You wear gloves to protect your hands while golfing, bicycling and lifting
weights?

You are basically admitting that in addition to being a dumbass you are a
pussy.

Heck - I change gloves at the top of my backswing :-)

Actually I stopped wearing a golf glove last spring. I really don't miss it,
but do have a serious callous on the inside of the 1st finger of my lead
hand.

Golf gloves are a total rip off. I play here in central MS, where it
gets very hot and very humid, and I have no need for them. Wipe the
sweat off with a towel and have at it. If I wore gloves, I would have
to wipe the sweat off for each shot of the glove wouldn't last one
round.

FWIW, those cheapo GP grips are problematical; however I switched to
Winn grips, which were an improvement, and then to Star Grips, which
were a major improvement. Hopefully I will never have to go back to
those slick TV's ever again.

2nd on the Star Grips...excellent product, esp if you don't wear a
glove.

Not if you used a cloth glove. I have one for hot days, and I wet it
down before the round. You can also use it to wipe the sweat off your
face. Never let your opponents see you sweat, that's leadership.

I play tour velvet full cords. It's about 50/50 for me whether I bother
with a glove or not, depends on my mood. The problem with most of the grips
that are pretty tacky is that they are not firm enough. I like the feedback
from a firm grip. The golf pride decade multicompound seems like a good
compromise between firmness and tackiness. I put one on my sandwedge last
year and liked it a lot. I am going to put them on my clubs this spring and
see how it goes.

Being unemployed must leave your hands in a fragile condition, some
light manual work will be of benefit.
Show some leadership.

I'm not unemployed, dumbass. I'm retired. There's a big difference.
I'm not looking for work or between jobs. I'm retired and I no longer
work. I live off the fruits of my youth, dumbass.
