I enjoyed learning about golf gloves during the MGS Forum Community Call yesterday and Kerry is a natural teacher with a passion for his subject – the golf glove, how it is sized, how it should fit, how long it should be expected to last, and how it is something that should be considered a regular replacement item and factored into the game of golf no different than a sleeve of balls and paying for greens fees, cart, 19th hole beverage or one from the cart girl, etc. Like a Pandora’s Box there is much more to the subject than the pretty packaging lets on to the glove within and everything from how it is made to how it performs and should be cared for.
Mine is the cheapest on the shelf edge or peg hook in the store and if it has a clearance tag on it so much the better. Currently using Zero Friction glove that touts “one size” as it stretches so I completely understand the snug feeling for a glove and it happens to fit my hand like a glove (well it does) should. I care for it by tagging the hook & loop closure on the loop patch on my golf bag, it gets moved to the loop taping on my pushcart moving from parking lot to first tee and from last cup to parking lot again.

I wear a glove until the surface is so worn it no longer provides the protection and grip it did new not necessarily with a hole but I wear my gloves on the easy side compared to a friend I gave one of my new gloves to because he didn’t have his with him that day. He had a different glove the next time I saw him and asked how he liked the Zero Friction and he said he tore it just like all his gloves tear usually after one round. My 2022 glove made it through most of the season of 124 rounds. It will be retired now and a new one for the 2023 outdoor season.
As a frugal golfer looking to cut cost for my sport and favorite pastime wherever possible, extending the life of my glove is a necessity as is every other piece of my equipment that makes playing golf enjoyable and possible without attracting attention from any but the most critical Judge Smails type.
