Method of making golfer's protective mitten

A protective mitten for golfers has a finger receiving portion, a thumb receiving portion and a wrist receiving portion. The mitten includes an outer shell made of water resistant material such as nylon, a lining made of insulating material such as synthetic shearling disposed inside the outer shell, and a strip of resilient material such as foam rubber attached to the outer shell extending circumferentially of the wrist receiving portion of the mitten. The strip of resilient material is disposed between the outer shell and the lining. A method of making the mitten includes providing a pair of hand shaped blanks, sewing the blanks together on a seam which extends adjacent first side edges of the blanks, attaching the strip of resilient material to the blanks such that it extends substantially between the side edges of each blank, folding the blanks into a face-to-face, inside-out relationship with the strip of resilient material facing outwardly, sewing the blanks together on another seam which extends adjacent the side edges and the top edges of the blanks to form the outer shell which is inside-out, turning the outer shell right-side-out so that the strip of resilient material and the seams are facing inwardly, and inserting the lining into the outer shell.
