Golfers that work on Porsches trick

Are you a golfer. Here is a little trick that I thought I would pass along. I like to work on my 911's and play golf but I don't necessarily like continual grime in my skin and nails. What I do is take my old golf gloves turn one inside out, because You only use one when you are golfing, and wear them to work on my cars. You have great feel, they breath way better than the blue plastic gloves and you get better grip. You can also use hand cleaner on them to get a few more uses out of them as well.

Give it a try.

nice tip, you can also cut off the tips on your thumb and 1st finger (on the glove) for tactile feel on nuts and bolts. but then you have to scrub them clean.

When I replace my golf glove it's generally past it's best, ie got holes in it. At around 15 of your finest USD they ain't cheap and I can get the poly ones from work for free.

Nice tip though!

Golf T's ?
Well, I try to recycle as many things a I can.
So, when I get to the course I take it out and use it on the 1st T box.

Golf Glove Tip # 2

I don't golf but I used to wear golf gloves inside my hockey gloves, way better feel was the main benefit, protecting my knuckles was the secondary benefit, if you follow what I mean eh.

You need an Alan B. Shepard shaft with detachable heads.

OR,

Learn to hit like Happy Gilmore and you'll never need to
put your clubs in the car, just drive to each shot.

I have a Targa and push the passenger seat back and recline it a bit.
My golf bag is my passenger.

Take your Driver & Three Wood and put them between the Drivers and passenger seats.
Heads resting on rear seats or ledge.

+1 on the old Golf gloves inside Hockey gloves.
Ranger Bruin game just started.
