The first golf glove wasn't widely used until the 1960s, when pro Bob Goalby helped popularize cabretta leather after his Masters win.
Before that, most golfers played barehanded—blisters and all.

Fit Is Everything—Here's How to Get It Right
A great golf glove should feel like a second skin—not too tight, not too loose, just...right.
To find your size, grab a soft measuring tape and wrap it around the widest part of your palm (just below your knuckles, not including your thumb). Don't squeeze,keep it snug but natural.
That measurement in inches is your number. Most brands follow this standard: 7 inches = small, 8 = medium, 9 = large, 10 = XL. For length, measure from the tip of your middle finger down to the base of your palm. When you try one on, the Velcro closure should sit flat without pinching, and the fingertips should have just a whisper of extra room not bunching up.
A proper fit means better feel, better grip, and fewer distractions.And that's a win every single swing.
Consider This...
Most golfers only wear one glove—on their lead hand (left hand for right-handed players). That's because the trailing hand doesn't need as much grip assistance and benefits from direct feel for better control and touch around the greens.
