Golf Glove

Abstract

A golf glove is provided with a plurality of finger stalls having an upper portion and a lower portion wherein the lower portion includes a protective covering with a moisture absorbing material for location below the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joint and above the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joints. The lower portion may also include an elastic material covering the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joints.

         8 . The glove of  claim 1 , including an elastic material covering beneath the location for said center axis of rotation of said proximal interphalangeal joint of said at least one finger stall.  
     
     
         9 . The glove of  claim 1 , said moisture absorbing material being for a location proximal to the center axis of rotation of said proximal interphalangeal joint and distal to the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joint.  
     
     
         10 . The glove of  claim 1 , including a protective covering with a lining of moisture absorbing material attached to said palmar side panel and positioned to be under metacarpals of a plurality of fingers.  
     
     
         11 . The glove of  claim 10 , including moisture absorbing material attached to said palmar side panel and positioned to be adjacent to and distal to a hook of the hamate.  
     
     
         12 . The glove of  claim 10 , including moisture absorbing material attached to said palmar side panel and positioned to be underneath the A2 pulley of a thumb.  
     
     
         13 . The glove of  claim 1 , said moisture absorbing material having odor controlling properties.  
     
     
         14 . A golf glove comprising: 
 A covering for said hand with separate elongated sections to receive a plurality of fingers therein, said covering having a top portion for covering a backside of the hand, including a top side of said elongated sections to receive a plurality of fingers and a lower section to cover a palm side of a hand including a bottom side of said elongated sections to receive said plurality of fingers;    said elongated sections, including an index finger stall, a long finger stall, a ring finger stall, and a small finger stall, the bottom side of said elongated sections having a protective covering with a terry cloth lining for location proximal to the center axis of rotation of a proximal interphalangeal joint and distal to the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joint of an index finger, a long finger, a ring finger, and a small finger, and an elastic material covering the center axis of rotation of the proximal interphalangeal joints of said index finger, said long finger, said ring finger, and said small finger, said terry cloth lining being approximately 1/16″ to ⅛″ in thickness.    
     
     
         15 . A glove comprising: 
 A palmar side panel and a dorsal side panel secured along each panel's outer periphery with an opening therein to receive a human hand, said dorsal side panel being sized to cover the back of said hand and in conjunction with said palmar side panel providing a thumb stall and a plurality of finger stalls for receiving a thumb and fingers of a human hand;    said palmar side panel having a protective covering with a lining of moisture absorbing material positioned to be under metacarpals of a plurality of fingers.    
     
     
         16 . The glove of  claim 15 , including a protective covering with a lining of moisture absorbing material attached to said palmar side panel and positioned to be under metacarpals of a plurality of fingers.
