Hello ladies and gents…
I’m relatively new to golf and I’ve noticed some players wearing a glove on one hand while others don’t. Can someone clarify which hand you’re supposed to wear a golf glove on? Is it the dominant hand or the non-dominant hand? I’d appreciate any guidance on this!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Left hand glove. It’s likely that the blister is the result of your overly tight hold on the clubs.
A popular metaphor is to hold the club as if it were a live bird that you are safely holding in your hand, without applying too much pressure so as to harm it.
Put a glove on your left hand if you are right handed.
Either your grips are poor (ancient grips can be quite rough and abrasive) or your hold isn’t using proper form (i.e., too tight) if you acquire blisters.
When playing golf, the glove is usually worn on the non-dominant hand. This means that if you are a right-handed player, you will wear the glove on your left hand, and vice versa for a left-handed player. This is because the glove helps to improve grip and avoid blisters, because the non-dominant hand is largely used for grip and control of the club.
