No let them dry a little bit. A fraction of moisture keeps the leather fresh-er but damp, no bueno.

Just spray some Right Guard on your forearms to keep the sweat from rolling down your arms.

Rain gloves work amazingly well at dealing with sweat in the heat and they last 10x longer than any leather glove

I normally only play in Titleist (Permasoft) or FJ (StaSof), but had one bust on me this weekend and did not have the bag spare, so had to grab one from the pro shop. All they had was a Callaway (don't know model), but it sucked. Kept getting stuck to my hand and was not doing well in the heat/sweat. Went to my trusty FJ range glove to finish the round.

I never have any issues with the Titleist and FJ gloves.

I use rain gloves when it gets really humid.
Tried out a drying lotion. Worked really well. You just have to apply before you even step out of your car.

Titleist Perma’s and FJ Pure Touch, the FJ’s last forever

If you are wearing out Pure Touch every 3-4 holes you need to lay off Dechamdouche cycles

After walking every course during phase 1, I've gotten in to the habit of taking mine off after every shot, if not that I at least loosen the velcro.

Man, you must be one sweaty dude. All joking aside i don’t have those issues with sweat but i do feel like i have a good routine with gloves. I use the top of the line titleist glove. I found that those really good gloves aren’t effected by moisture as most. I could be making that up but that is my experience. Also, i only wear my glove when I’m walking up to my ball and hitting. As soon as i hit my shot the glove is off and in my cart till the next shot. I see guys wearing their gloves the entire round. Even when drinking cold water out of the ice chest. All of which hurt the grip of your glove. Just my two cents.

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.



This is what I do. I hang 2-3 gloves on the cart so they can air out when we ride and I’ll switch em out every other hole and I have a towel just for wiping down my arms and cleaning my ball. Also, if you keep your gloves in the original case or a ziplock they will last twice as long.

There are also some new glove models out called footjoy clima cool that seem to be a mesh between a rain glove and regular that would probably work well but I have not tried them yet

The Bionic Glove seems to hold up better than anything else I’ve tried. I can normally just rotate two gloves. Also have a Ryobi portable fan that I mounted to the cart with clamps. Helps to dry out sweaty hands and gloves.

Started using Winn dry-tac grips 2 or 3 years ago. Ditched the glove and haven’t looked back.

No love for baby powder/rosin bag? Load the glove up with the powder and you’ll never have an issue. Also handy when your balls start to stick.

Ok this guy is full of shite. I drive up to Chicago every July and this statement could not be further from the truth. The hottest it gets is like 85 with low humidity. It's incredible.
