Change your golf glove
Ideally, you should be changing your golf glove after every few rounds but that is not for everybody…
Realistically when a glove becomes worn – A hole in one of the fingertips – it needs to be replaced. When the gripping properties of the glove start to wear off and it becomes shiny it also needs to go.

Different golfers have different plans when it comes to their golf gloves and it depends on the level you play at. Take Tiger Woods for instance – may have as many as 16 golf gloves in his bag and always uses a new one at the start of a round. That’s great but realistically this is not going to be the case for the majority of golfers.
When you hit the course you want to be ready for that round of a lifetime and having a decent swing, clubs in your bag you are comfortable with, that have decent grips, and feel right in your hands, along with a good quality golf glove that fits perfectly is all you can do to help yourself – How you hit the golf ball is up to you but we can help there as well.
Golf Glove Care
One quick tip you can use to prolong the life of your golf gloves during the golf season is that when you remove them make sure to slip them off from the fingertips as opposed to just pulling from the open end of the glove.
This will avoid any unnecessary stretching or the potential to rip the glove apart.
If it gets wet then make sure to dry it out completely and wear it a few times a few days later to stretch it out to its normal size again.
You can get shrinkage on gloves that keep getting wet over time and this causes loss of grip and they are uncomfortable to wear.
