Some people believe they can play just fine without gloves, while others would never play without them. Most pros regard them as essential for amateur golfers however.

When looking at gloves, there are several options to consider. First is the choice of material. The most common material used is leather - it has good texture, offers great feel, and has superb grip. It is moisture resistant and will stay supple for years if treated correctly.

Synthetic materials are either used in combination with leather or alone. They can often found on the knuckles or in the joints of the fingers, where their increased flexibility is useful. 100% synthetic gloves will be more durable than leather glove, and because they are breathable, can help your hand stay cool in warm weather.

All-weather gloves are for those who play in wet or humid conditions - they are water resistant and improve grip when it gets wet. Winter gloves offer a warmer option - you can choose between a thick thermal material worn on one or both hands to play shots, or a mitt that slips over a regular playing glove between shots.

Whether you are looking for summer or winter gloves, men's or women's, full finger or half finger, leather or synthetic, you'll find a great variety here, from all the major manufacturers:
