Yes, you need a golf glove. Let’s ask a question
that’s more important.
Why should you wear a golf glove?
The answer may seem obvious, but it’s worth some thought. Torque (or twisting)
is produced by your golf club during the golf swing. If you don’t, or can’t, maintain a solid grip, the club can
turn, ever so slightly. The result will not be good.
Most gloves today offer a choice between how long they last, and how much ‘feel’
they offer. Synthetic gloves are less expensive and last longer. Leather gloves cost more, but provide a better ‘feel’
on the golf club.
Golfers want as much ‘breathability’ as they can get in a golf glove.
Some have a mesh-like material on the back of the glove for this reason. This not only helps to keep your hands cooler and
dryer, it also helps to keep the glove from stretching and losing its shape.
Try on several gloves before you make a choice. Be sure it fits snugly, but also make sure
it is long enough for each finger. If not, it will be the first place it tears or wears out.
