Let’s face it, golf gloves are expensive.  Whether you buy them in a pro shop, online, or in packs of three or four at one of the big box stores, the cost of gloves over a season of play adds up quickly.  And, if like me, you get a good case of the sweats throughout your round, the condition of your gloves deteriorates even faster, or you’re switching to dry gloves once or twice during your round.

Enter Dry Glove.  Dry Glove is a product that states that it will help to minimize your hands from sweating and therefore keep your golf glove from getting ruined longer.  An interesting claim.

Actually, an interesting claim that’s true!

The nice thing about Dry Glove is that it’s more of a lotion rather than a paste or having a thick salve-like texture. It applies very easily; just a dab in the hands, rub them together and it dries in about 30 seconds.  I applied it right after I got my bag out of my car and about 10 minutes later put my gloves on.  The gloves slid on as usual which was a small but pleasant surprise.  I was expecting a bit of friction or, I don’t know, some kind of resistance.  Never happened.

Here’s a bonus.  During these troublesome times of Covid, I also wear a glove on my right hand to reduce exposure from what others may have contacted; the flagstick, the cart, reaching in the hole for my ball, blah blah blah.  I know that this may sound extreme to some but, as I and most of you reading SeniorGolfDigest.com are of the age of risk, why take a chance?

There was also no need to reapply until the turn, about 2 hours later, which was convenient also.  I was able to keep my gloves on through the first nine  without them looking like a wet rag or having to change them out.  When the round was over, my gloves looked almost as good as when I first put them on, maybe a little damp, but not soaked like they usually were and for me that is a first after playing in 90 plus degree heat and humidity.  I’m expecting that Dry Glove will extend my glove’s lifespan by at least three times.  And that, my friends, will save me some shekels every year.

I’ve also tried Dry Glove under my work gloves and under the latex gloves that I wear if I go to a large store.  Same results.  So, thanks to Dry Glove for letting me review their product and I have made this one of the accessories that will stay in my bag.  I think that you should too.  

Reach out to them or better yet, ask your local pro shop to bring some in.

Stay safe and play well,
