jd1993 26 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Currently in AZ (Tucson) helping a relative out from post surgery. Since I’m from Chicago and don’t have a car my golf opportunities are limited. In a good year I’d play 10 rounds realistically but even that is tough to do at the moment. My relative lives on an executive course and that’s been fun. Decided to play a longer course (aka par 5’s) nearby. Arizona National. Pretty cool course but the dessert is cruel when I’m hitting driver erratically. A lot of forced carries that made it tough. Anyhow I knew my glove was in rougher shape. It had a tear in the palm (I’m lefty so right handed glove). Especially the sweat and heat, my old glove was a wreck. Once I bought a new one at the pro shop (Footjoy), it felt so much more grippy and different. Definitely will replace at the first sight of breaking but my new one is genuine leather so should last longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StrawberryShortCake 616 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thats crazy, I change my glove almost every 5-10 rounds if not more. They don't cost that much and have a huge impact on my game. You shredded that thing good job. 1 Quote Driver: Rogue Sub Zero 9* stiff Wood: Tight Lies TI 3 wood stiff Hybrid: XR 3 19 deg stiff Irons: JPX 900 Tour std loft/lie Wedges: 52,56,60 Putter: #7 Red Ball: Q-Star 12.9 Handicap Comox Valley, B.C.

GaDawg 510 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I think you got your money's worth out of that glove. I usually change before they get to that point!

Tap In 83 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Usually you can tell someone’s swing faults by looking at their glove.... Your old one has seen all of them.

jd1993 26 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Yeah I think I’ll keep track on my phone the number of rounds or buy a backup to replace it for when it gets worn out. Not sure if I grip tight or what but definitely won’t let it get that bad again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scooterhd2 497 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Having lived in Oregon for 12+ years I got used to not wearing a glove. But I am in Phoenix now and the glove has returned. Looks like you got your money out of the first one. Good reason to get the same one the second time around! 1 Quote 2020 TESTER Ben Hogan UiHi 18* Utility Iron Driver: G410 Plus 9*, Oban Gold Hybrids: Super XTD 17* Hybrid Fubuki AX, , Apex 20* AD-DI 85S, Apex 23* Oban Purple Irons: Z585 5-6, Z785 7-PW, Modus 120s Wedges: RTX4 50, Modus 120x, , Hi Toe 56 & 60, Modus 120x Putter: ER3 @ 33" Link to post Share on other sites

We had a 90+ degree 100% humidity day here last week and I literally couldn’t hold the face square through my swing, sweaty hands kill your confidence.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote “He’s a Cinderella story.

russtopherb 5,778 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I play maybe 20 rounds a year and I go through at least 2-3 gloves every season. That thing was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past needing to be replaced!

Tom the Golf Nut 2,175 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Oh my!!!!!! I don't think I ever saw a glove that bad that was left on the parking lot pavement and was run over many times. You got serious mileage.

jd1993 26 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Thanks all, I'm currently playing in Arizona right now (Tucson) so I'm sure the heat had a large part to due with the wear on it too. I'll definitely be buying a glove once this one rips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
