A restraining loop attached to the outer peripheral edge of the index finger of a glove provides support for the little finger of the opposite hand inserted into the restraining loop. When wearing the glove, the golfer is prevented from shifting his hands while gripping the golf club and the proper alignment of the golfer's knuckles is maintained throughout the entire swing. The glove may also be used for baseball and other uses.
