Abstract
An improved golf glove for assisting a golfer to grip the club properly, for placing the wrist in the maximum desirable un-cocked position as the ball is addressed, for promoting arm extension and for maximizing the chance of returning the club face to the proper position at impact. The improved golf glove includes an elastic strap attached to the palm side base of the glove at a slight angle approximately parallel to a line along the base of the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger of the glove. As the club is gripped, the elastic strap is stretched to attach to the back of the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger portions of the glove which positions the club in the hand along that base of the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger and ensures an even grip pressure throughout the swing.
