A right-handed golfer wears a golf glove on their left hand, which is the non-dominant hand. The reason for this is that the left hand is placed at the top of the club and is the lead hand through the swing. It is essential that the left hand provides a firm attachment to the club, but in order to swing freely and without tension, the golfer does not want to be choking the life out of the club. Therefore, a golf glove can provide a better grip than the skin and help the golfer hold on to the club with authority and confidence when making a pass at the ball. A golf glove can also protect the hand and prevent blisters or callouses. However, wearing a golf glove is a personal preference, and some golfers choose not to wear gloves at all or wear gloves on both hands.
