Dry Gloves during a hot round


Recommended Posts

During the really hot rounds - how do you keep your glove dry?

Personally I will try to rotate 2-3 gloves during round. I always walk with a cart and have velcro wrapped around the handle area to stick the gloves to during the round, but the gloves tend to fall off at times.

I wanted to hear if anyone has some novel ideas on rotating gloves during a round? I have seen the carabiners with a strip of velcro but I am not sure that is any better than my current setup. I had toyed with the idea of some form of chip clip on a carabiner.

 

What are your thoughts?

In hot weather I have taken to using Footjoy rain\weather gloves and never have a problem with the gloves getting too wet.

But if you are opposed to all weather/rain gloves you could get some of these (see below) place them on a carabiner and then use the velcro strap on the glove to affix it to the elastic hair bands.

I rotate three gloves. I try to make them last for about 6 holes apiece. If things are really humid (like it was yesterday), and I could feel the club slipping in my non-gloved hand I go Tommy Two Gloves with the rain gloves.

This, particularly if you walk and dry your hands before putting the glove back on. Addresses the perspiration from the back of your hand that will wet out a glove.

Wow - thanks for all the comments. I have not tried using rain gloves before. I stopped using the rain gloves that get and stay wet for playing in the rain because I could not take them off during a round because once your hands prune up, it takes a long while for them to come back - and I do not like wearing gloves of any kind to putt.

I also do not want to be taking my glove on and off between shots because you are wearing it out much faster with stretching, Some days need 3 gloves and others need 4, but trying to keep them sorted is hard to do :) My current solution was 3" carabiners on my bag and I just close the velcro closure over the carabiner.

For the rain glove wearers - are you wearing the glove for the whole round? What do your hands look like at the end of the round? What does wearing a glove for the whole round do to your tan?

I may have to try the glove off after every shot

Cool - I had not heard of the TropiCool glove. Looks interesting. From your use of the glove @pd1775 how well do you think it will wear compared to a regular glove? And, I guess that question should be compared to a regular glove used in hot and humid situations. Thanks again.

I have only four rounds with the glove and it seems to be holding up very well. Doesn't get slippery in hot and humid conditions. I'm able to get it on and off while putting which I had difficulty doing with a regular glove. Made of a different material in the palm (similar to a rain glove) so the feel is a little different.

I primarily use this blue stuff that dries up your hands a ton, I can't think of the name, but I bought it at our local Golf Headquarters and think its marketed for tennis maybe.

I do that and I just ordered 9 MG Golf gloves and I'll rotate 2-3 of them a round usually and apply that blue stuff 2-3 times usually just to keep things extra dry. Even that doesn't always do it so I'll switch the the rain glove in times of dire sweatiness. Just got back from Hilton Head and the heat was so insane I think I ruined 6 gloves over 6 rounds of golf.

When it's so hot and humid that I have to put on the rain gloves, I usually just end up leaving them on throughout. In other words even though I don't like to putt with a glove on, I'll leave them on anyways. It just takes too long to take them off and put them on again.

I do the same thing in the rain, but am not a happy camper :) I want to try that OptiCool glove once it comes out to see if it is an option for me. Right now I am using carabiners and clipping the glove in the carabiner - no dropped gloves just yet

Just looked on Amazon - says it repels water and perspiration. How does that feel on your hands and how do you get it off? Soap I assume?

I'm on team "no glove" - I'm not an excessive sweat-er...but on the real hot (or esp humid days) i do have some issue with the club feeling slippery.

I use Dri-Tac grips, which I love ...and I do occasionally dab a bit of that hand solution. It really doesn't build up at all, and yes, easily washes clean with soap & water. It's not anything like "Stick-Um" or other gel that would create an issue on your hands.

I go gloveless, too but need a glove when it's really hot and humid. Especially with my Tour Wrap grips. Those grips are so awesome when they are dry. Soft, squishy, and tacky. They are a slippery mess when wet. Just bought some Gold Bond powder to try. Playing tomorrow and it's going to be hot and humid so we'll see if it works.

Heard a commercial today for "Carpe" for excessive sweating for hands and feet. Not sure if that applies to golfers buy wonder if it's the same as that dry hands. The ad said it's sold at Walgreens

You say you're walking with a cart and it's really hot (and likely sunny?). Is your cart a push cart that you can attach an umbrella to for shade? If so, hang the gloves from the umbrella supports when it's opened.

I have a ClicGear3.5+ but that is my backup cart - and I do exactly that. My main cart is a MotoCaddy S7 remote. Love/Hate relationship with it. When it works it is great, but it has a mind of its own and does not always respond correctly (or at all) to button pushes from the remote. The umbrella holder on that is a piece of crap as are most of the joints. Where the ClicGear looks like they tested it with golfers, the MotoCaddy looks like they had no ideas how heavy golf bags are. Joints are thin plastic and it tends to flex a lot - so if I used the umbrella holder I am most likely going to put an eye out as it wobbles, and to be fair the speed would have to be set perfectly for that to work.

The only way I pull it off is to hand carry the umbrella and I will try giving that a whirl and see how it goes. If someone could make a sub $1,000 remote controlled golf cart, they would have a winner on their hands.

Thanks for the thoughts!
