What Hand Do You Wear a Golf Glove On?

It's a question that no golfer knows the answer to when they first start - so don't feel bad if you don't know the answer to it.

What hand do you wear a golf glove on?

If you are a right-handed golfer, you wear a golf glove on your left hand. This means that right-handed golfers need a left-handed glove (this is commonly known as LH).

If you are a left-handed golfer, you wear a golf glove on your right hand. This means that left-handed golfers need a right-handed glove (this is commonly known as RH).

Why do you wear only one golf glove?

The main purpose of wearing a golf glove is to help with your grip on the golf club handle.

If you are a right-handed golfer, most of your control on the golf club comes from your left hand, so that's why you wear a glove on your left hand. The right hand helps you stabilize the club, so there is not much benefit to wearing an additional glove. The opposite is true for left-handed golfers.

What does a golf glove do?

As mentioned above, the golf glove helps with your grip on the handle of the golf club. It serves as a connection to the club.

Golf gloves are also worn for style and can help with a little bit of warmth on colder days. They can be especially helpful in the rain.

Do you need a golf glove?

The golf glove is not a 100% necessity to play golf, but any golfer knows that most people on the course will be wearing one. 

There are also some situation where gloves are not worn because it is not optimal (for example: putting and chipping). This is because putting and chipping require more feel and less force. So, not wearing your glove in these situations is helpful. It also helps preserve your glove's life.
