Default For the Married Golfers
So being newly married, and having hit some golf balls recently I question you all this. I was at the range the other day and couldn't stand having the ring on while swinging the clubs so I took it off, not to mention taking my glove off it tried to pull it off. I remove it when I goto the gym, and it looks like I will be removing it for golfing as well.

So that leads me to, Do you leave your wedding band on or take it off when you golf?

As long as I am wearing a glove, I'm fine. I don't notice it while putting.

I've often wondered about this with my upcoming wedding. I think I'll take mine off, but I'll have to see.

It does take a little bit to get used to. I did realize that if I can feel my ring, I know that I'm gripping the club to hard.

Always take it off. It bothers me too much if I leave it on.

Hahaha this is the common question we all ask ourselves. I just got married last October. 10-10-10 to be exact (did that to help me remember the anniversary). I was in limbo with this question as well and I saw Jim Furyk playing on tv and noticed he had his on so I figured I would give it a try. I have not had any issues with it at all and leave mine on pretty much all the time except for working out. I fear the dumbells etc scratching against it. I even wear mine playing tennis but I have a 1 handed backhand and being a righty it does not affect me holding the racquet. With all of this said I have not played in the hot months yet so that may be a little different as the fingers swell in the warm months.

I think it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

I may take the ring off when I go to Perkins after each round.

That is a good point for someone who grips the club too hard.

This is my first season golfing after I got married. I cant stand wearing my ring when I am golfing, glove or not. My ring has a flat square edge and is probably a mm or more thick, so when my finger pinches the ring it hurts alot. But maybe I will start wearing it because I know I tend to have a strong grip.

My anniversary is tomorrow. 23 years and I've never had mine off. Not sure I could get it off now if I had to.

I always take it off, and when I'm smart, I take it off before I leave home and leave it at home. It completely ruins the feel of my grip to have it on, and then I get more nervous about leaving it in my car or in my pocket.

I rarely wear my wedding ring anymore. I'm just not a fan of jewelry and in this FL heat even more so now. One note though is that if you're a newlywed I would not take that thing off unless it was a complete nuisance. After being married for a long time (definition of "long time" differs for everybody) then you can have that conversation. My wife and I are in agreement about this as she doesn't wear hers much either because of her job. For playing it's really personal preference.

If I remember to get it off before I go to the course I will ( fingers swell and can't get it off ) and cuts under my callous and hurts when gripping a club , plus I don't like wearing a glove .

A wise man once told me a ring doesn't clog the hole... Take it for what it is worth but Im willing to bet that the Perkins' waitresses did not care if TW was married or not. But that was a funny post by you blugold.

I will always take it of when golfing. Occasionally if I go to the driving range I forget, and at the end my finger is pretty sore.

I wear mine. I don't even notice it anymore. It'll be 20 years in August.

I have tried playing with my ring on, but it pinches my skin so I leave it off. Evidently I have developed an allergy to some metals because if I wear my ring for more than a few days the skin cracks and bleeds.

I do not wear my rings playing golf or at the gym. I have big knuckles and smaller fingers and the rings spin. I am afraid of getting the gems messed up. When I take them off I don't have to worry about them and I don't pike the feel of them on my finger for golf either.

My husband keeps his wedding ring on all the time.
