I keep a glove for wet weather. I guess my hands don't sweat like normal.

I played competitively without a glove until I got to college where my coach basically made me start wearing one.

Take a big towel. Wet one end of it. Before each shot give the grip a quick swipe with the wet end followed by a swipe with the dry end. Voila .... a tacky grip for each shot.

No way to keep a towel wet longer than 3 holes during the hot months in the south. A wash & dry between each shot, there's the guy causing slow play. Clean em before going to the course & you can concentrate on other things

I recommend a dermatology appointment.

I have one every year. Maybe you need one considering you don't sweat.

That's what they make water coolers for. And I didn't say give it a bath. I miraculously manage to do it in about 5 seconds or less and only when it's really hot.

Oh . . . ok . . . well then maybe you need a psychiatry appointment to talk about those 10 gloves.

10 gloves!?!? Holy ****!

 

[Pin High]

I'm a lover. I have soft hands and have used a lot of lotion. When it gets humid, the club just slides in my right hand a little. I've also broken my hand and my pinky finger is permanently out of place
I've never cleaned grips before. Didn't really think about it. I will now. Those things aren't cheap

Did you get the new grips put on yet?

Are you dense or something? Why buy one & use it 2 rounds & it's done. I'll rotate & make them last over a year you just do whatever. If you're not sweating in 90+ degree weather with 90+ % humidity there may be something wrong with you or either you're about to fall out from heat stroke.

I guess y'all are easily mesmerized.

You can't possibly have this big a stick up your ass. I'm sorry . . . It's funny for somebody to own 10 gloves at one time. Surely you can laugh at that.

What's funny about it? I bought 6 on eBay last year, 3 nike elite & 3 dri fit for under $40. I got 2 more of the new dri fit for $30 a month ago. I bought a couple at dicks on sale. Hell I may have more.

Never heard of that brand. Where do they sell them?

 

[GAVol]

Uhh...

It's ok. He's wearing gloves.

They are at the course. I pick them up at 9. Tee off at 10:10. He measured my hand too, so I think he was changing them a little. Seems like my palm was a 5 and middle finger a 3

They are sold everywhere. They have been out a few years. Company is in to making bike ridin gloves & then entered the golf side. Palm is Kangaroo leather

 

[bamacheats]

community college needs some of these...

 

[govols/cc]

I'm sure you don't need a glove with your "keep it in play" swing that flies 390........just a better GPS.

You mentioned that you have soft hands & I see that you are getting Golf Pride NDMC grips. That's not a good combination. The New Decade grips have cord & can very rough to soft hands. More you play the worst it is on the hands. I have em on mine & when they wear out (if they ever do) I'm going with something softer.

How did the guy measure your hand & what tool did they use?

Why so sensitive? No one is poking fun at the size of your gloves, just the number of them.

Maybe some folks just don't understand that cabretta leather gloves don't last long in the hot summer months especially if you wear only one until its ruined. By rotating them they last much longer. Must be a hard concept for some to grasp. Maybe if I wore a rain glove or one of those synthetic dura fit deals I wouldn't have as many but those things feel like crap.

 

[doozer]

I wear a new glove for each hole. It really sucks when I play 36, but I'm stocked up.

On the way to play Canyon Rodge in north Georgia.

I had to send my clubs back to Taylormade to be bent upright 2* and was hoping someone on here might have a time frame that I might get them back. Some people have told me two weeks, while others have told me four to six weeks......Nobody locally would bend them, so that's why I had to send them back to California. Thanks.
