How long should a golf glove actually last? G1zi, GM Forum
This depends a lot on how you rotate and store your gloves. If you only have one cabretta glove that you use for everything – practice sessions, pre-round warm ups and play – then expect its integrity to deteriorate within a month or so, assuming you play and practice once a week.
One way to prolong this would be to practise and warm up with an old glove, and use the newer one only for actual rounds when you actually need the best grip and feel.
Should I use a half set? Jordan1987, GM Forum
A half set of clubs makes the bag lighter and also encourages creativity, an underrated skill around the greens and into the wind. Having to hit a 7-iron 110 yards allows you to perfect that 60 per cent knock-down shot, while chipping with a pitching wedge gives you more options than you probably practise. As long as gaps are even through the set, I think you’ll enjoy the experience.
