background.. I worn through gloves in 1 to 2 rounds. I've played 3 rounds with my new Footjoy Pure touch and well it's getting there, maybe 2-3 more and it will have a hole too. Obviously because of this I've played most of my golf life sans glove. I have a feeling people get more miles out of their gloves then I do...so here's a poll.

The weather in Kentucky in the summer is much the same as Indiana. I play with 8 gloves, and use them for no more than 2 holes. I have found the wetter a glove gets, the more likely it is to rip or tear. They will last about 2 to 3 months that way.
