Can i wear two gloves when golfing?

Question

i never wore a glove but started wearing one on my left hand because i started getting blisters (i'm right handed). however, now i've been getting blisters on my right thumb, and i want to know if it's okay to wear a glove on both my left and right hand. thanks.

Answer 1

It's actually becoming fairly common for lady golfers to wear a glove on both hands.  If you feel it's improving your game by all means wear gloves on both hands.

Answer 2

You can wear gloves on both hands if you like.  But if you are getting blisters there is something wrong with your grip and wearing another glove isn't going to solve the problem, just treat the symptom.  Invest $12 in Hogan's book "Five Lessons, the Fundamentals of Golf" and you will learn to properly grip the club along with a lot of other good stuff that will last a lot longer than a new glove.

Answer 3

Wear one... like Micheal Jackson. Hee Hee!

Answer 4

yes u can

Answer 5

I have played with 2 gloves,1 glove,and no glove there is no rule stating how many gloves you can wear. To address your blisters' which is the main problem,you are probably gripping your club too tightly. When you set your grip your lead hand,whether you're left or right handed should have a light grip  on the club. Your back hand you just rest on the club without much or any pressure. When you swing the club you should have just enough pressure so it doesn't fly out of your hands. Now a second thing that could be causing your blisters is your actual grip on the club. If it worn out then that could mean the club is twisting in your hand and pinching your skin which will resort to blisters.  A good way to tell if your grip needs to be changed is if is slick or smooth to the touch. If so call around to your local Golf Pro shops and ask them if they re-grip clubs. Most good Golf shops will do that. I hope this helps you.

14-3. Artificial Devices, Unusual Equipment and Unusual Use of EquipmentThe United States Golf Association (USGA) reserves the right, at any time, to change the Rules relating to artificial devices, unusual equipment and the unusual use of equipment, and make or change the interpretations relating to these Rules.

A player in doubt as to whether use of an item would constitute a breach of Rule 14-3 should consult the USGA.

A manufacturer should submit to the USGA a sample of an item to be manufactured for a ruling as to whether its use during a stipulated round would cause a player to be in breach of Rule 14-3. The sample becomes the property of the USGA for reference purposes. If a manufacturer fails to submit a sample or, having submitted a sample, fails to await a ruling before manufacturing and/or marketing the item, the manufacturer assumes the risk of a ruling that use of the item would be contrary to the Rules.

Except as provided in the Rules, during a stipulated round the player must not use any artificial device or unusual equipment, or use any equipment in an unusual manner:

a. That might assist him in making a stroke or in his play; or

b. For the purpose of gauging or measuring distance or conditions that might affect his play; or

c. That might assist him in gripping the club, except that:

(i) plain gloves may be worn;

(ii) resin, powder and drying or moisturizing agents may be used; and

(iii) a towel or handkerchief may be wrapped around the grip.

Exceptions:

1. A player is not in breach of this Rule if (a) the equipment or device is designed for or has the effect of alleviating a medical condition, (b) the player has a legitimate medical reason to use the equipment or device, and (c) the Committee is satisfied that its use does not give the player any undue advantage over other players.

2. A player is not in breach of this Rule if he uses equipment in a traditionally accepted manner.

Penalty for Breach of Rule 14-3: Disqualification.

Note: The Committee may make a Local Rule allowing players to use devices that measure or gauge distance only.

Answer 7

it really doesnt matter... with one is the same as with two.... i perfer 2 because i have a better grip but if you feel comfortable with one it is all you need!

Answer 8

why not?

Answer 9

I am pretty sure that you can wear two gloves while golfing.

Answer 10

why not, shoudlnt effect your play

Answer 11

Yes. Not a problem.

Many players do when it rains (special wet gloves).

Answer 12

You can wear three if you want, but I'm not sure I'd like to know where you're putting the third. No really, you can wear two, but you might get some funny looks. You won't see it very often.

Actually, I wonder if you are holding the grip wrong. Since you are getting a blister on your other hand (very uncommon). You might want to have someone look at your grip. Even if it looks fine, maybe you're gripping it too tight.

A loose grip is ideal not only for a smooth swing, but for swing speed as well.

Answer 13

Yes, I play golf for my High School and many people i see and that are on the team wear two gloves. I also wear two gloves because of the same problem you have.

Answer 14

That is purely your choice.  It may affect how your shots feel, but again, only you can determine that. If the blisters were on your thumb only, I'd just get a piece of tape to cover it.

Answer 15

Yes, but just make sure they aren't boxing gloves!

Answer 16

Sure.  I have a pair for cold/wet weather.   Blisters indicate a grip problems, either with the grips on your club or the way you are gripping the club.

Answer 17

no, its against the law.....of course you can.

Answer 18

To the best of my knowledge there is no rule against it.

Answer 19

ifu wanna look like a r****d go for it
