336.0. "Golf Gloves which hand???" by BPOV08::MACKINNON () Fri Jul 15 1988 16:35

    
    	This may seem like a really stupid question, but I'm new
    to this game.  I am right handed, but I swing left handed.
    Which hand do I get the glove for?  Is it my right or my left?
    My left hand is at the top of the club grip with my right 
    interlocked on the bottom.

336.1To be safe, get one for each handPLANET::MARCHETTIFri Jul 15 1988 17:0518
    You say you swing left handed but you're left hand is at the
    top of the club.  Either you have a cross handed grip or we have
    a definition problem.  
    
    If you stand on the left side of the target line (facing the hole)
    you are really swinging right handed.  In this case, your left hand
    should be at the top and is the one you put the glove on.
    
    If you stand on the right side of the target line, then you are
    swinging left handed.  The right hand goes on top and gets the glove.
    
    If you're hands are reversed from either of the positions above,
    then you have a cross handed grip and I have no idea  where the
    glove goes. (use one for each hand  8^)  )
    
    Hope this helps

    	There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.
    
    	By "the top of the club grip" I'm assuming you mean the butt
    end.  It sounds like you have a right handed grip.  If you stand
    on the left side of the ball, as approached from behind the ball
    with the ball between yourself and the green, you are swinging righty.
    Same way a right handed batter stands on the left side of home plate
    as viewed by the umpire.
    	If you're standing on the right side of the ball with the above
    mentioned grip, you are swinging cross handed, something you should
    correct right away.
    	As for which hand to wear the glove on, it's usually worn on
    the side toward the target, which would be the hand nearest the
    butt end of the club.
    
    	Hope this helps your cause without adding to the confusion.
