I am going to start practicing at the local heated range over the winter, but its still cold enough under the heaters where you can still use gloves. I am sure there are many different companies making winter gloves now. Does anyone use them, and if so, what kind would you recommend?
Absolutely. They are really rain gloves and work very well. I played twice over the weekend in 38* weather. If I can keep my ears and hands warm, that's 90% of the battle.
They felt a little odd at first, but fairly easy to get used to.
I used the Footjoy whatchamacallits...the black one with the elastic around your wrist. It comes with a left and right glove, but I only used one. It wasn't too cold the last time I used it (San Diego winter), but it works fine. The only problem you might have, if you go play a round, is if you like to putt without a glove. It's a little more of a hassle to take off and put on than the regular gloves, other than that, it's perfect.
I bought some to try with fly fishing in the winter. They worked pretty well. They are warm, cover a lot of area (past the wrists), and thin enough to fly fish with. I even tied a few flies with both gloves on.
The course/greens would be frozen now and the courses are probably closed, so it's time for something else like fly fishing and snowboarding.
I picked up a set last night and took them out with me today. I didn't like the feel of two gloves. I didn't have any feel of the club, and like someone said DON'T putt with them. Ran a bunch by the hole because of the lack of feel. Took out my regular glove after about 4 or 5 holes and my scoes started improving. Maybe in time I would grow to get used to them ,but I am going to take care of that at the range I guess.
If it isn't too cold and you want to maintain "feel" lost through winter gloves try buying a regular golf glove for your right (or left hand if left-handed) hand. You will keep both hands warmer and still have some feel. Also small baggie hand warmers in your pockets help if you still use a cart.
