Dealing with sweat

That was the other guy, the one who beat up the hooker, actually.

Let's stick to the topic, funny as that brief diversion may have been.

Try some Gold Bond cooling powder. That stuff is magical. Using cold water and constantly wiping your hands may feel good and work at the time, but wont last long. Wipe down your hands or wet them with cold water, but dry them after and rub some Gold Bond into your hands or forearms, whatever is sweating. It'll keep your skin cool and dry and may even give you a good grip on the club.

Dealing with the heat can become rather distracting but there are a few things I've picked up that really help me keep somewhat comfortable on the course. Along with the obvious like many cold bottles of water, getting in the shade when waiting between shots, I've found you'd be very surprised how much less you will sweat by pushing/pulling your bag. I prefer to carry my clubs, but the straps on my shoulders and bag on my back just don't allow me to cool off in between strokes. If I know I'm going to be feeling the heat on a round, I will also soak a medium sized towel and throw it in the freezer for the night. Just before I leave for the round I will throw the towel along with a small ice pack in a freezer style ziplock baggie and throw it inside my golf bag. At any time during the round I can take the frozen towel out and wrap it around my neck or press it on my face and almost within a minute I'm cooled right down. The best part is you can throw the towel back in the ziplock with the icepack and within a hole or 2, the towel is just about frozen solid again.

I use the stock tour velvet grips that come on most titleist clubs. I also bring along a sweat towel for me as well as a towel to wipe the grips.

Am I the only one here that *gasps* only uses one glove per round?!?!

I only use one glove per round. unless of course you mean you buy a new glove every single round?

I'd love to use one glove per round. However, I live in Austin, play during the summer, sweat a lot, and want to get better any way I can. That means more gloves or any other way to stay cool. Here you go:
