I’ve always wondered why golfers only wear one glove. I mean, it seems like both hands would benefit from that extra grip, right? I’ve tried playing with two gloves a couple of times just for fun, but it felt really weird. Is there a specific reason for this one-glove thing? Or is it just tradition? Let me know your thoughts
it’s all about feel.
I see ppl wearing 2 gloves, but it doesn’t feel comfy for me.
I also take off my glove to chip around the green.
Wearing one glove in golf primarily improves grip on the club without compromising feel and flexibility in the other hand, which is key for controlling the swing. Two gloves can reduce sensitivity, making it harder to gauge the club’s position. It’s partly tradition but mostly about maintaining that crucial balance.
Golfers typically wear one glove to enhance grip and feel with their lead hand while allowing their trailing hand to maintain a natural, tactile connection with the club. Wearing two gloves can feel awkward and restrict the feedback needed for a controlled swing. It’s both practical and traditional.
