A right-handed golfer almost always wears a glove on the left hand.

Quick Scoop

  • Right-handed golfers wear the glove on the left (non-dominant/lead) hand, which sits at the top of the grip and does most of the club control.
  • The bare right hand provides more feel while the gloved left hand adds grip, stability, and blister protection.
  • Left-handed golfers do the opposite: they wear the glove on the right hand.

Simple rule: glove goes on your non-dominant “lead” hand, so for a right- handed golfer, that’s the left hand.
