Five Indications You Should Buy a New Golf Glove
- If it is dirty:Over time, your dirty hands, sweat and nature’s dirt will discolour the glove.While pristine colour is not the only reason to switch gloves, it is a good indication of how long you have been using it, which tells you if it’s time for a replacement.
- If it feels crispy:Your glove is so permeated with hand sweat that it hardens in your golf bag. Please don’t keep forcing your hand into a hardened glove.
- Misshaped:Over time your glove will warp, due to the sweat mentioned above.If you put it on and it feels too small, please let it go and pick up a new one.
- If you play A LOT of golf:If you’re a serious golfer it is always good to have more than one glove in your bag. Switching them around between holes is a good idea, or you might alternate between gloves each day. Remember that it is good to let the glove sweat evaporate before you swing again.
- The glove is damaged:If there are any holes in your glove, you don’t need anyone to tell you that you need to buy a new one.
