Measure round your hand to see your size.
How it's worked out
Glove sizes come from the international standard for gloves, EN ISO 21420 (it replaced EN 420). It sizes a hand by the distance round the palm at the knuckles, thumb out, and its size number is that distance in inches: a size 8 hand measures 203 mm, or 8 inches, round.
We give the standard size nearest your measurement. If you add your hand length, wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger, we compare it with the standard's length for each size. A length a size below your width means shorter fingers for your hand.
Golf brands use their own letters and often add in-between sizes such as M/L, so treat the standard size as where to start, then check the brand's chart and try a glove on.
Size = the nearest of 6 (152 mm), 7 (178), 8 (203), 9 (229), 10 (254), 11 (279) round the hand

A 21 cm hand
A hand 21 cm (210 mm) round is nearest the standard's 203 mm, so it's a size 8 (M). If the same hand is 17.5 cm long, that's nearer the size 7 length of 171 mm: shorter fingers for its width.
Questions
Which hand do I measure?
The hand you wear a glove on: your left hand if you play right-handed.
Why doesn't this match my golf brand's sizes?
Golf brands size gloves their own way, with letters such as S, M, ML and L and sometimes cadet sizes. The standard gives a common starting point; each brand's chart has the final word.
How should a golf glove fit?
Snug across the palm and fingers, with no spare material at the fingertips, and the fastening closing comfortably without pulling.
