I know just about every golfer takes their glove off to putt. They say they do it for the feedback and feel in most cases or they see the pros do it and do the same. I have recently gone back to putting with a glove on and got success for some reason. I seem to do it for two reasons, 1, it relaxes my hands at setup and 2, because I dont like messing with the glove on and off.
In hindsight looking back, I think I putt the same wearing a glove or not. So I have a couple of questions. 1. Do you wear your glove while putting? 2. Since I assume most don't, why not? 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting? |

It gives me more feel and I feel like I can control the putterhead better with no glove on. The skin to grip contact makes me more in control 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting Yes, I can honestly feel a difference. I think that with a glove on, I would miss probably 2-3 more putts a round. Mostly short dinkers that would slide by the hole. |

1. Do you wear your glove while putting?
I go back and forth on this. I will go through about a month of putting with the glove on and a month off. 2. Since I assume most don't, why not? I think I just remember to take it off before putting. I think it is mostly a mental thing not a feel thing. 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting? I don't think it really affects my putting. Sometimes I just think mentally it helps me. I guess if you say feel, why don't people chip around the green without a glove then? |

1. Do you wear your glove while putting? Sometimes, it really depends though. When I'm in a hurry I do. Its actually how I learned to putt.
2. Since I assume most don't, why not? For me it's a little superficial. With my wedge shots I usually take my glove off as well. I almost feel like people are looking at me funny if I do keep it on. Dumb reason to take it off but sometimes I do it for that reason. Funniest thing was when I was attempting to shoot videos for the Morgan Cup, I kept my glove on for putting and made the comment to my little bro, "serious golfers keep their gloves on". Haha. 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting? It feels different on the grip and I kinda like the feel better. I don't know how it helps or if it does, but I know when I feel uncomfortable I try to keep the glove on. It helps calm me down. |

1. Do you wear your glove while putting?
Yes and No. I do try to take it off before putting, but sometimes I just forget and leave it on. 2. Since I assume most don't, why not? I usually take mine off out of habit more than anything. I always just assumed that that's what I was suppose to do, mostly b/c of what I saw on TV and stuff. 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting? I have no earthly idea to be honest. I need to make a conscious effort to putt with glove off and glove on and see if there's any noticeable differences or affects. |

1. Do you wear your glove while putting? Nope, not unless it's cold out
2. Since I assume most don't, why not? I typically take my glove off when inside of 150 so it's generally off once I'm puttign to begin with 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting I notice a difference in feel but not sure if it affects the results that much |

I putt with my glove on
Honestly, it never really crosses my mind to take it off during a round and I've become so accustomed to it that it does cross my mind if practicing and not wearing it. I feel a difference putting without a glove. I want a really loose grip and that seems easier with a glove on the left hand. |

Hahaha. That is funny you ask. Last week I had this same ? for TED at SeeMore. I have always putted with a glove. Any way here they are.
1. Do you wear your glove while putting? Yes,I tried taking it off but it feels much better with it on. Better feel. 2. Since I assume most don't, why not? Sorry I do....lol 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting? Yes I feel (in my mind) that there is a difference. Without the glove it feel funny to me and I don't have the same control. Yes I'm wierd. |

1. Do you wear your glove while putting?- Most of the time I don't wear one. I remove it as I approach the green. But sometimes I get too focused into chipping then putting and I don't take it off.
2. Since I assume most don't, why not?- I like the feel of a glove with an iron and driver, but I really want to get as much "feel" and "touch" with my putter as possible. 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting?- On most simple putts there is no difference, but on difficult (L-R, R-L) or long putts no glove def adds a touch. |

1. Do you wear your glove while putting? I take my glove off for chipping and putting.
2. Since I assume most don't, why not? I only like to wear my glove for gripping purposes. I like to be able to feel where the ball hits off the club or putter face. 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting? I dont think it affects the putt as I make it, but it definitely helps me determine where on the face and how well I'm hitting my chips/putts. When I can feel how I'm hitting them I can correct my misses (hopefully) and putt better on the next hole. |

1. Do you wear your glove while putting? No, and not while chipping or pitching either.
2. Since I assume most don't, why not? It started by watching the pros when I first started golfing because I thought thats what you were supposed to do, now it has simply become a habit and I'm comfortable with it. 3. Do you actually feel a difference and believe it affects your putting? Only because I'm comfortable with it, not because it adds feel or anything. |
