WINTER GEAR

tip of the month

Is there anything worse than swinging a golf club and feeling the golf grip slipping in your hands? Because the normal outcome when your golf grip slips is a terrible shot. And unless you're Tiger Woods it's very hard to stop your swing when you're half way down to the ball. 

I have no idea how Tiger does that! 

Anyway, if the weather is very hot and humid the chances of your grip slipping as you're swinging goes way up. Also, if you're playing in the rain then naturally the chances of your grip slipping as you make your golf swing go up as well. 

But there are simple solutions to this problem which don't have to cost you anything. And the first solution is a dry towel. 

When you play golf you should carry at least 1 extra golf towel. Ideally you should carry two extra golf towels however. And if you're getting hot and sweaty or it's raining then before and after every golf shot you should be wiping your golf grips and hands with one of your dry towels. 

Also, if it's raining then I suggest that you keep your towel under an umbrella to try and keep it dry for as long as possible. Then when your towel is not doing a good enough job then simply put it back in your golf bag and get another dry towel out. 

And of course, if your grips, gloves or spikes are worn, we have a great selection in the proshop and also have a re-gripping service.
