I’m new to golf and trying to get a handle on the basics, but I’ve stumbled upon something that I can’t quite figure out. What hand do I wear a golf glove on?
From what I’ve read, it seems like the glove is generally worn on the non-dominant hand. For example, if you’re right-handed, the glove goes on your left hand, and if you’re left-handed, it goes on your right hand. This is supposed to help with grip and control during swings, which makes sense.
However, I’ve noticed some golfers wearing gloves on both hands, and I’m curious about that. Is it more about personal preference, or are there specific scenarios where wearing two gloves is beneficial?
I’d love to hear from others about their experiences. Do you stick to the traditional one-glove approach, or do you have a different method? Also, any tips for choosing a good glove would be super helpful. Thanks!
Typically, right-handed golfers wear a glove on their left hand, while left-handed golfers wear it on their right. This is because most of the grip strength comes from the lead hand.
It’s all about maximizing comfort and control! The hand that does most of the gripping should have the glove for better feel and performance on the club.
What if someone is ambidextrous? Do they pick one hand to wear the glove on, or do they play without it? Just curious if anyone has personal experience with this.
Great question, Umoore! I think it often comes down to personal preference, but generally, ambidextrous players may choose to wear a glove on their dominant hand or might forgo it entirely.
Typically, you wear the glove on your non-dominant hand. If you’re right-handed, that would be your left hand, and vice versa. It helps with grip and control.
Don’t forget to consider glove materials! Leather gloves offer excellent grip and comfort, while synthetic ones can be more durable and weather-resistant.
