Abstract:

A pair of golf gloves each having loop and pile fastener strips attached to the outer ends of the last three fingers (middle, ring and small finger) and a cooperating loop and pile fastener strip attached to the palm of the golf glove running diagonal across the palm of the hand commencing adjacent to the thumb and running diagonal to the outer midpoint of the heel of the palm so that, when the golfer assumes the grip, the cooperating fastener strips engage each other and firmly lock each contact point in each hand of the golfer's grip to the corresponding contact point of the opposite hand. Each glove further includes loop and pile fastener strips on the back side of both the thumb and the first/second finger junction. When the golf grip is properly taken around the club handle, the fastener strips on the ends of the fingers of the power hand and little finger of one glove engage the fastener strip on the back of the first/second finger junction on the other glove and, similarly, the fastener strip on the palm of one glove engages the fastener strip on the back of the thumb on the other glove thereby detachably locking the gloves together.
