    Thought I’d share my strategy for extending the life of golf gloves. The summer heat and humidity is really tough on gloves. To extend the life I take a two pronged approach. First, I switch from an all leather glove to one that marries a full leather palm with a synthetic back. The F-J Contour is this season’s choice. Second, and most importantly, I keep 3 gloves in play at all times switching them out every 6 holes. I keep them numbered 1-3 and when not in use they hang on the side of my bag on a length of paracord as shown in the attached photo. This system really works for me. As the weather cools, I switch back to all leather gloves.

    One of these really helps as well. I have a vokey version and it's amazing.

    I have one of those as well. You just have to be careful that the gloves are completely dry before putting them in the case. That’s why I hang them to air dry first. The L&K cases are really sweet.

    BTW - I should have noted that the use of the 3 gloves is not an original idea. I read it somewhere as a way to extend glove life. I was skeptical at first, but it really does seem to work.

    John, great idea. I also rotate gloves but right now I'm only rotating gloves every round. I should switch them out at the turn. I buy the WeatherSoft gloves in the two pack and they are the best for durability in my opinion. So today I will switch the glove at the turn. Thanks for the idea.

    A couple of years ago, I finally decided that putting my glove into a package, after smoothing it out, worked better than hanging on the outside of the bag. Air drying seemed to dry them too much, but original packaging, or even a zip lock bag folded over but not zipped tightly, does a better job. My gloves don't get soaked too badly as I remove it after each stroke; I don't use it for putting, chipping, or short pitches, though.
