This is a synthetic glove. Not real leather but it will hold up well and it’s a good price too. It also comes in all black.
These are cabretta leather golf gloves. The real deal! They come in different colors and women’s sizes too!
So the topic of gloves was brought up to me yesterday – I guess I didn’t really think about this because I have permanent calluses on my hands from playing golf for so many years. I wear a golf glove on my left hand and it’s just second nature now. So, it is possible that your hands may get sore the first couple of times we go out to the range and you’ll want to protect them.
Golf gloves only go on one hand. It goes on your left hand if you’re right handed and it goes on your right and if you’re left handed. I wear a ladies large left golf glove (meaning I wear it on my left hand, because I’m right handed) and I have pretty large hands. It’s a good idea to go ahead and open the package and try on the different sizes to see which one is right for you. The glove should fit very snug. In fact, you should feel like you’ll need to stretch it out a bit.
Keep in mind there are ladies sizes and men’s sizes. Ideally, you’ll want to get a ladies golf glove, however, if you can’t find a ladies size then go ahead and try on the men’s sizes. A men’s small glove may do the trick!
I suggest getting a glove before our outing on Saturday just to minimize any discomfort you may have. Golf gloves range in price from $10.00 - $20.00. There are cabretta leather golf gloves and then there are synthetic leather golf gloves (imitation leather). The imitation leather gloves will be cheaper. You can buy these at Target, Academy etc. If you want a cabretta leather glove, you can get those at Edwin Watts or any golf pro shop. You can feel the difference in the gloves – one will be thicker and more coarse (synthetic) while the other is thinner and softer (cabretta).
For beginners, I wouldn’t spend a whole lot of money on gloves. Just get something that fits snugly and will protect your hand from the grip of the club. I will recommend a few types of gloves here on the site for reference.
I hope you’re getting excited about Saturday! See you soon!
