What’s the purpose of a golf glove? Guide for Beginner Golfers

Have you ever wondered about the purpose of that essential piece of golf gear, the golf glove? If so, you’re in the right place. In this enlightening video, our Golf For Beginners Academy instructor, Nicolai, will explain the primary functions of the golf glove.

Nicolai begins by clarifying that he’s a right-handed golfer and wears the glove on his left hand, the most common configuration. He points out that the golf glove serves two key purposes: protection and performance.

For performance, the golf glove ensures a secure grip on the club, preventing it from slipping during your swing, even if your hand becomes slightly sweaty. This enhanced grip aids in maintaining control over the club and optimizing your performance on the course.

On the protection front, Nicolai emphasizes that the left hand for a right-handed golfer plays a pivotal role in gripping the club during the swing. The glove acts as a shield against the potential wear and tear that can occur when the club is swung at high speeds and impacts the ground. Without the glove, fingers could be susceptible to injury.

Nicolai also shares a pro tip: Many professional players remove their gloves when doing small chip shots or putting because these shots require less gripping power and pose minimal risk of injury. They do this to have a better feel for these precise shots.

Additionally, Nicolai suggests using rain gloves when playing in wet conditions. Rain gloves provide an even better grip as they get wet, ensuring that you maintain control over the club, even in rainy weather.

So, if you’re an avid golfer or aspire to be one, consider having a rain glove on hand for those unexpected showers. It’s the key to enjoying your game in any weather.

Hello and welcome. If you are new to the game  of golf, then you are wondering what the purpose   of this thing actually is, this golf cloth.  Then we’re going to tell you right here.    Hi and welcome to Golf For Beginners Academy.  My name is Nicolai. I’m your golf instructor,  

And we’re going to talk about what the  purpose of this golf glove actually is.   So I am a right handed player, so I would swing  this way. So I have the glove on the left hand,  

Which is the most common thing to have. And why  do we have it here? Well, it is for protection,   and it is for performance. Performance. When you  have the glove, you can actually grip the club   a little bit better. It’s not going to slide  anywhere, and if you get a tiny bit sweaty,  

It’s not going to slide anywhere because you have  the glove on your hand. So for performance wise,   it is to hold the club a little bit more firm.  For protection wise, it’s basically to protect   your skin. And the reason why you mainly have  it on your left hand for right handed player is  

That a lot of the actually gripping power of the  golf club is in your left hand. So that’s really   holding on to the club during the swing. And when  you swing this club with a lot of speed and it’s  

Going to hit the ground and all kind of stuff,  there’s going to be some twisting happening,   and if that goes directly against your skin, your  fingers are going to get ruined, basically. So you   also wear the glove for protection. That’s the two  main reasons why you need the glove. That’s also  

Why you see a lot of professional players, usually  when they do very small shots, if they do a chip   or if they do putting, they don’t use the glove  anymore. So if they’re, for example, if they’re  

Using the putter. Here we go. The putting, that is  the very small shots. But you’re not really afraid   of losing control on a pot because the motion is  so small. And you’re not really scared of hurting  

Your fingers either, when it’s such a small swing.  So that’s why a lot of pros, they actually like   to take the glove off when they’re putting and  when they’re doing small chip shots, because they   don’t need the protection. They don’t need the  performance of a better grip, let’s say like that,  

Because there’s no need for it, because the  speed of the club is so small compared to   the full strings. That’s basically it. Just one  thing I want to say. If you’re a beginner golfer   and you really like playing golf. I love it. If  you’re ever going out playing when it’s raining,  

A normal leather glove, it is not the best thing.  You can actually get some specific rain gloves so   that when your glove gets wet and when your grip  gets wet, you actually hold even better onto the  

Club. So the more it rains, the better your grip  becomes with these ring gloves. So if you’re   planning to be super much into the game, which I  absolutely love, and you want to stay out there if  

It suddenly starts raining, make sure you have at  least one rain glove for the left hand. Honestly,   I also used to use a rain glove on my  right hand when it’s really, really rainy,   because then you can still hold onto the club.  And there’s nothing worse than playing golf if  

You can’t hold on to the club properly. So that’s  the purpose of the golf club. Thank you so much   for watching. Maybe give this a little video a  thumbs up if you liked it and subscribe to this
