Ah....the splendid days of summer approach.

Today will mark my last round in what is deemed "winter". As I sipped a cup of java on the back deck this morning it was very nice...a bit cool. By the time we tee off it'll be perfect for shorts and short sleeved polo.....by the end of the round it will be almost 80 degrees.

By the time Masters week is done....summer will here for all practical purposes.

These times of year I switch the type of gloves that I wear. The synthetic style gloves seem to stay dry longer and dry out faster. I'll rotate four throughout a round.

By this time of year, I'm also in the practice of using another towel for myself in addition to my club towel hanging on the bag.

Corded grips really come into their own during this time of year!!!!!!!!

old thread, but I thought I'd chime in as a tester/experimenter of golf grip products. I have had a lot of issues with humidity and sweaty gloves and bought/tried everything under the sun. The only thing that has ever worked for me was the Grip Boost Golf Spray. The Amazon link is right here:

I used rain gloves when it is really hot and humid. When they get wet, they grip better.

I go through gloves super fast from sweaty hands.  The FJ Exo 4 glove doesn't rip and retains its grip for a long time.  I've also used rain gloves, but I'd prefer to stick with them on rainy days because I play a lot in both.

This may sound unconventional but you could try a rosin bag. It's what pitchers use on the mound to keep the hand dry. Does a great job

We've had this thread a million times, and my response is always the same: buy a bunch of gloves, rotate them every few holes, and take them off when you're not actually using it.

I am a bit curious about those grip products though. Maybe I'll try one this year.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
