Golf Gloves

You’ve got your golf bag, clubs, shoes, balls, tees... What else is there? Oh yes... the golf glove!

Most golfers will know the benefit of wearing a golf glove but believe it or not, some don’t.

Whatever your reason, there are many to choose from at all budget ranges too. The cheapest gloves are the synthetic leather variety which you can pick up now for a couple of quid. Then you can go crazy and treat yourself to a hand stitched calf skin glove for the ultimate luxury experience.

Even though you don’t find pairs of golf gloves to buy for the left handed people in the world you can of course by left handed gloves too. Most golf gloves now are classed as all weather and even though just a humble glove you may think, but you would be amazed at the research, development and testing that goes into producing one.

A myriad of surface detail has been tried and tested to ensure that not only do you get the best possible grip from your golf glove but it needs to breath and also give maximum comfort.

Back in the hay day of televised golf an everyday golf glove would be white or black and in general today the base of most golf gloves is still white. However, to meet the demands of the fashion conscious golfer there is now a pretty much unlimited choice of glove colour and design to choose from.

The main brands in golf have all spend a lot of money and time developing their glove to best match their club grips, so if you are a fan of one brand then you can rest assured that the matching glove will have been made to suit. Combine that with years of feedback from the top players in the game, then again the golf glove goes from being an often need to an important part of your golfing kit.

As well as golf gloves to help your grip, most of the big brands have brought out winter gloves to wear whist waiting on yoru next shot and walking the course. These golf gloves are not just winter gloves, again they have been developed to breath and ensure that you’re not blowing your fingers before each shot. That’s enough to put you off your game really!

My tip is: if you use a brand and can purchase the matching gloves then do. But if you want to find the very best for you then try a few over time and I’m confident that you will settle on the one that, well, fits like a glove!
