    I heard a sealed sandwich bag is good, with the zip thing.

    sounds like it would work much the same as a freezer bag, but may last longer.

    I just throw it into my bag and it always is nice and crusty next time I use it.

    What does putting your golve in a plastic bag do, keep it soft?

    Why do you even wear a glove? No need.

    Yeah, freezer bag keeps it from going crusty.

    I never use to wear one but when I started to play and practice more my girly little hands could no longer handle it. Also a lot of people need them because they sweat heaps.

    Thanks for the coaching tip, Fred.

    I just have them all in a pocket in my bag...they don't seem to end up going crusty on me. so I never give much thought to rebagging them.

    i put mine back into the packaging and back into the bag. having said that i am one of those that Zac said above, I am one of those who sweats a lot well at least my hands/arms do in the heat and i only get 1-2 rounds + practise (200+ pitches and 200 balls at the driving range) out of a glove before it ends up real crusty lol

    FWIW, I generally get about well with synthetic leather gloves, so I guess that's probably why they don't dry out.

    Synthetic glove man myself. The entry level Footjoy is a great glove, and as I sweat a lot, I get a shit load more rounds out of it. Leaves crusty leather gloves for dead. Highly recommend it!!!

    Its meant to keep it soft (not dry out) Personally I do exactly the same as you. once you wear it for a few minutes, its soft again anyway.

    I agree - I've never worn a glove and can't quite work out why you would. Surely if you sweat or get blisters you should wear a glove on both hands .....

    Store them in your underwear. The moist environment will prevent them from drying out. That's not to say they won't end up crusty though.

    So why do people wear a glove only on one hand? I've been playing for many years now, but I'm still unsure of this.

    For the best combination of grip and feel.

    I feel like the club will go without a glove, sweaty hands and all that.

    So it is to do with the left hand (for right handers) grip predominantly? If your right hand is sweaty it doesn't matter so much?

    Pretty much, never really thought about it to much, but the left hand definately seems to provide the 'vice'. If that makes any sense.

    I bought one of the Footjoy synthetic gloves with the metallic round ball marker a few months ago (about $25) and can't believe how durable they are.

    I would also get only a couple of rounds and a couple of sessions of the non synthetic Callaway gloves I was using before a hole would appear on the inside of the thumb.

    The non synthetic last ages and I don't have to look after them in the slightest.
