The South is known for being extremely humid. If you golf in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi or Louisiana, you know what I mean. There's a reason stereotypical Southern gentlemen are pictured wearing straw hats and sipping cocktails or iced tea sitting out on the porch: it's incredibly hot and sticky outside. For the sake of your clubs, you should avoid golfing in these and other humid areas. However, I know there are many fantastic courses in all of these states, and I could never suggest never golfing in any of them. Would you really leave Pinehurst or Augusta National off of your list because it's a bit muggy out?
It's hard to deal with humid course conditions. Not only will humidity affect your golf clubs and grips, but it will also affect your body as well. Even if you are a trained professional athlete, excessive humidity will sap you of your energy. Getting increasingly tired on the course can cause you to swing inconsistently and lose confidence. Excessive heat and humidity can also cause heat exhaustion, which is a life-threatening condition. If you have heat exhaustion, your body basically loses its ability to cool itself down. To prevent this, drink liquids that contain electrolytes while you play, dress appropriately and try to stay in the shade as much as possible.
All this humidity causes you to sweat, and the oil and moisture from your hands will be transferred to your golf grips. Keep your grips clean by wiping them with a wet towel and they will last a lot longer. Leaving this oil and moisture on your grips will accelerate the drying and loss of tackiness. We know you will play in humid conditions, we would too if we didn’t come from the desert, so make sure to take good care of yourself and your golf grips.

Thanks. Of curose, I began to look at monitors that sync with my iPhone and Runkeeper, and my heart stopped beating when I saw the price…
