Arizona! We have two seasons, winter and summer, although many would dispute there is actually any winter. But because it's so dry here, spring may be hot but not sweaty hot. I don't really go by the calendar, just whenever I feel like I'm not getting a good grip barehanded, then I'll put on the glove. I take it off for putting and chipping, so it's a hassle to me to continually take it off, put it on... if I can get away without it, I will. I do like to slowly rrrrriiiiiippppp the velcro when my opponent is just about to stroke his putt. Don't have that going for me when not wearing a glove in which case I have to resort to chanting "Noonan!" :-) Tom

There'd be something wrong with you if >you didn't. True enough. My problems here are more about comfort and grip than health. I'm fortunate enough to live in a place that is a lot less hot and a lot less humid. My sweat evaporates much more readily than it does in the humid south, cooling me off. The most uncomfortable part is under my hat. I have to dry off my scalp. Some people don't drink enough in dryer climates, not aware that they are sweating so much. |
