Why Do Golfers Only Wear One Golf Glove?

To many, wearing one golf glove appears to just be a golf tradition - and one that doesn't seem to make too much sense. Although wearing a golf glove is completely optional and mainly comes down to personal preference, the decision is typically made based on the role that both hands play in the golf swing. A glove adds protection for your hands and provides additional grip to secure the clubs in your hand.

So why not wear two golf gloves? We're here to answer that question and more, and to provide some additional context into why golfers only wear one glove.

Although a common reason for not wearing two gloves might be laziness or a decision based on golf tradition, wearing two gloves can also have a negative impact on your swing and the feel of your shots

Interfere With Your Grip: As you progress in your golf game, you start to experiment with different types of grips -like overlapping or interlocking fingers. Using two golf gloves can make this difficult and it might alter the amount of grip you get on the club.

Impact Your Feel of the Club: The feel of your club impacting the ball is crucial to get feedback on your swing. Covering the hand that provides feedback and helps shape your shot can take away some feeling that you get on the club and could result in adding some unwanted strokes to your game.
