If you live in a part of the world that gets more than its share of rain, being prepared for wet conditions on the golf course is essential. You will miss out on many chances to play the game you love if you aren’t prepared to deal with a little rain – so add a few simple items to your bag and you can take on the course even when it is a bit damp outside. The FootJoy Men’s Rain-Grip golf gloves are a good example of just such a piece of equipment.

Unlike a regular golf glove, where most players only where one, these rain gloves are sold as a pair so both hands can have a better chance to grip the wet club. If you are going to be able to make your normal swing and play a good round even in the bad weather, you will need to have a solid grip on the club. Typical golf gloves work great when they are dry, but start to struggle as they get wet. Instead of fighting all day to keep your regular glove dry, just put it away and save it for a better weather day. Put on this pair of rain gloves and put the focus back on playing your best golf.

Breathable and Flexible

As part of the design of these gloves, the material on the back of the glove is meant to offer breathability so your hands are able to dry out a little bit throughout the day. The material is also flexible so you should be able to take your normal grip without having to make too many accommodations for the gloves that you are wearing. While it might not feel exactly the same as playing with one regular glove and one bare hand, it will offer a good compromise to help you battle the rain.

Make Sure to Practice

Before you put these gloves into use on the golf course, try using them for a period of time on the practice range. Even if it is dry on the range, hit a few shots wearing both gloves just to get comfortable with how they feel. Making swings while wearing two gloves instead of one has a different feel, and you will be better prepared to make the adjustment if you have used them during some of your practice sessions.

The golfer that is prepared to deal with the weather that comes their way is the one that has the best chance to play well even in less-than-ideal conditions. If you add these rain gloves to your bag, along with some other rain-related items, you can shrug off the showers and pay attention to the task at hand.
