FAQs
How do I pick the best golf gloves for me?
The best golf glove for you will depend on a few things
- Personal preference
- How sweaty do your hands get– You may be able to get away with a non-cabretta leather glove (cheaper). I can’t.
- Budget– Premium cabretta leather gloves can top $30. And, if your hands sweat a lot, you are going to need 2 or 3 gloves to switch out during a round. It can add up. Fear not, there are always sales so you can stock up
- How often do you play and/or practice
- Weather conditions in which you normally play
Personal preference: I have friends who can’t stand the feeling of the seem of the gloves against their skin, especially their thumb. Annoys me too, sometimes, but not enough to not wear a glove.

I also have friends that wear gloves that don’t exactly fit them well and they have no issues. Or, at least don’t complain about it. Not I.
I can NOT STAND an ill-fitting glove. It’s like an itch I can’t scratch. I can’t get comfortable with my grip on the club and everything gets worse from there. So, I get good cabretta leather gloves and take care of them.
Sweaty hands: My hands likely sweat more than most. So, I’ve found that Cabretta leather gloves best serve me. Both from a feel and longevity standpoint. I’ve tried synthetic gloves on many occasions and found they lose their form quickly and/or simply tear and become unusable.
Budget: Premium Cabretta leather gloves top $30. If you play a lot AND have sweaty hands, the bill can start to add up. (Especially considering you should be rotating gloves) I almost never pay top dollar for my gloves. I’m forever on the search for deals and then I stock up.
How often do you play and/or practice?: Simple. The more you do of ether, the more gloves you will need.
Conditions you normally play in: Hot and humid weather requires better gloves and more of them, in my experience.
Check out a few manufacturers and glove types. You can afford to test gloves. Even expensive ones aren’t that expensive.
How do you make your gloves last? My best tips for golf glove preservation
During your round
- Bring 2-3 gloves. I’m always rotating 3. I can get away with 2 in cool-to-cold weather.
- Don’t put your glove on until you are about to hit. More time away from your skin is better.
- Take it off immediately after you hit. See above
- Switch gloves between every shot. I try not to let too much sweat build up in/on the glove.
- Hang gloves on the frame of the golf cart when riding. Let the air and wind dry them between uses. Hang on your golf bag if you are walking.
During practice
- I use gloves dedicated to practice, alone.
- Again, bring 2-3 gloves. I don’t switch after every shot when I practice because this would REALLY drag out my practice.
- I use one glove until my grip starts to slip a little.
- I then hang it up on one of my alignment sticks in my bag and grab another glove.
- Do this with 3 gloves and you’ll have a pretty decent system for always having a mostly dry and tacky glove to use.
Golf Glove Maintenance

Yes, there is such a thing for we of the sweaty hand.
If my gloves get particularly soaked with sweat during a round or practice session I will rinse them thoroughly under water in an attempt to get as much of the salt from my sweat and oils from my skin out of them.
I dry them as best I can by compressing them between a towel, then I make sure the glove is spread out (not crumpled) and laid out to dry. This has worked very well for me over the years and I encourage you to do the same.
