I would love to play without a golf glove, and not spend the associated money, and for much of the year, it might work. But in the summer in the South, I use a half dozen gloves a round, switching at least every three holes; I sweat that much. And even at that, I'm constantly toweling off my forearms and the grip before I hit a shot.
As to Kentwool socks, they are a recent addition to my summer golf wardrobe, and I'll never again wear anything else. I'd been wearing Smartwool/Kirkland socks in the colder weather, but Kentwool is the bomb for hot weather.
