There is nothing worse than swinging a golf club and feeling the golf club slipping through your hands, because if that happens you're almost guaranteed a terrible shot. And unless you're Tiger Woods it's very hard to stop the 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.
Now here's a neat trick.
Every hole or two simply get some sand from the bunkers (or from the little buckets they give you to put in divots) and rub the sand on your hands and on your golf grips. This will help to absorb the sweat and it will help you to keep a firm golf grip as you're swinging.
Important Note: If you're a women golfer you may prefer to take some talcum powder with you to the golf course and put this on your hands instead of sand.
So the next time you play a game of golf where it is possibly going to rain or be hot and humid…or heaven forbid….both at the same time! Then make sure you take at least two towels and try your best to keep them dry. Then every golf hole or two put some sand on your hands and on your grips. Doing these things will help you to keep your golf grip from slipping as you're swinging. Because again, there's nothing worse than going to play a golf shot and having your hands feel as though they are going to slip on the golf grip, is there?
