I sweat. A lot. I’ve tried different gloves and I’ll rotate 4 or 5 a round to try and help them stay dry. But in the humidity, it seems completely futile. Anyone have a specific glove that seems to handle sweat better? Any method that keeps them dry and stops the leather from becoming uncomfortable (lose fitting and rigid) after just a few rounds?

I don’t wear a glove but the guys I play with have between 4 and 6 hanging off their cart as we drive to the next shot. Me not wearing a glove I bring two towels every round for my hands this time of year. I just wipe me hands and arms down before every shot and swing away.

I use the ten finger rain glove. Cheap on amazon. The leather gloves sucked for me in the summertime. Plus I can buy just the left or right. Some rain gloves only come in a pair.

A lot of people use some form of a rain glove.

Rotate 5 gloves. If it gets too bad, I wear a FJ rain glove. The rain glove works lol.

I rotate 3 gloves, only put the glove on when I'm ready to take my shot, and take it off immediately. I also carry a towel that I'm constantly using to wipe down my arms. I walk exclusively, and I can make it work.

Meanwhile, I see my playing partners put their glove on right after putting out and never take it off until the next green, then wonder why it's so wet.

Tip to keep gloves soft after use-

Put a large ziplock bag in the your golf bag. After the round put gloves in ziplock
They will stay like new

I've found how you put them in the ziploc is how they come out.

Spray Arrid Extra Dry on your hands and wrist area. I do it every round while also using a towel to pat them dry before shots. Your hands will be good all round

I’ve been lucky - this winter I played a few rounds gloveless and I haven’t looked back. And I’m a bad sweater. I usually wear a wrist band and that’s it
