How to look after your glove?

Golf gloves can last for many months depending on usage and grip pressure. It’s important that you store your glove in a dry place after use and allow it time to thoroughly dry out if damp/wet. Wet gloves can dry and have a crusty feel if not properly stretched out and cared for post-round.

What size glove do I need?

A golf glove isn’t designed to hinder golfers but to help them and so a glove shouldn’t feel baggy and uncomfortable. A good sizing reference guide is that a glove should come away from the centre of your palm very slightly as you extend your fingers. If you’re unable to fully extend your fingers without discomfort, the glove will likely be too small. Conversely, if you can extend your fingers with the leather sagging into your palm, it’s likely to be too large.

Remember, golf gloves will stretch with use and so something that seems a little tighter initially is probably going to be better than one that is already a little looser.

What glove/brand should I choose?

There is no right or wrong choice of glove or brand. A glove is very much down to a personal preference. Although some players may favour a certain type of brand, it’s not to say that, that the gloves they produce you. Some many brands produce gloves with a huge range of styles and sizes and so it’s worth exploring your options.
