Buy a pair of leather golf gloves. Leather contours to the hand perfectly, and remains moisture-free even in adverse conditions. Buy a slightly smaller size than normal since leather gloves stretch with use. If they get wet, let them air out naturally, don't pop them in the dryer.

Slip a mitt over your golf gloves in the winter. This keeps your hands extra warm between rounds. You can't play with them on, however, so just slip them off when you're ready to hit the golf ball.

Wear synthetic golf gloves if you want a more lightweight, durable material. While synthetic materials make up small parts of a glove, like the knuckles or finger joints, some manufacturers sell gloves made entirely from synthetic materials. While not as good-looking as leather gloves, they do last longer.
