Rings & Jewelry Guide
Can You Wear a Golf Glove With a Wedding or Engagement Ring?
Yes, you can wear a golf glove with a ring — but comfort and fit depend on the ring and the glove.
Many women prefer to keep their wedding ring, engagement ring, or other jewelry on while playing golf. Traditional golf gloves, however, weren't necessarily designed with larger settings or stacked rings in mind.
That can leave golfers choosing between squeezing a glove over their jewelry or taking their rings off before every round.
There's another option.
Can I Golf With My Wedding Ring On?
Yes. Whether you choose to is a matter of personal preference, comfort, and your individual ring.
Some golfers remove their rings before playing, while others prefer to keep them on.
If you do wear your ring while golfing, pay attention to how it feels underneath your glove and while gripping the club. Your jewelry shouldn't create uncomfortable pressure against your hand.
Why Can Rings Feel Uncomfortable Under a Golf Glove?
Golf gloves are designed to fit closely to the hand.
That snug fit is great for maintaining feel and minimizing excess material, but it can leave limited room for jewelry.
Engagement rings with raised settings, larger stones, stacked wedding bands, or wider ring designs can be particularly noticeable underneath a traditional glove.
Simply buying a larger glove isn't always the best solution because it can create a loose fit elsewhere on the hand.
What Is a Ring-Slit Golf Glove?
A ring-slit golf glove incorporates an opening around the ring area of the glove.
Instead of forcing the glove completely over your jewelry, the opening gives your ring additional space while the rest of the glove maintains its intended fit.
SLĀ's ring-friendly design was created specifically for women golfers who want another option besides removing their rings or squeezing them underneath a traditional glove.
What Should I Look for in a Golf Glove if I Wear Rings?
Consider three things:
Flexibility. Stretch material on the upper portion of the glove can provide more give around jewelry.
Fit. Your glove should still feel snug across the palm without uncomfortable pressure around your ring.
Ring design. Rings vary considerably in shape, width, stone size, and setting height. A design that works comfortably for one ring may fit differently with another.
Will a Ring Opening Affect My Golf Grip?
The primary contact between your gloved hand and the golf club occurs across the palm and fingers.
SLĀ's ring-friendly glove maintains a premium Cabretta leather palm, while the ring opening is incorporated into the upper portion of the glove.
This allows the glove to accommodate jewelry while maintaining the leather gripping surface.
