How Weather Affects Your Golf Grip: Long Island Seasonal Tips

Long Island’s weather can swing from humid summers to chilly winters, and each season affects how your golf grips perform. Understanding how temperature, moisture and other elements impact grip feel will help you plan timely regripping.

Summer humidity: High humidity levels on Long Island make grips feel tacky and can cause them to wear faster. Sweat and moisture can lead to slipping and loss of control. If you play regularly in July and August, consider using moisture-wicking grips and schedule a regrip mid-season to maintain your feel.

Fall and spring: Cooler temperatures and changing foliage make golf in these seasons enjoyable, but the temperature swings can dry out grips, causing them to harden and crack. Check your grips after a round at courses like Bethpage Red or Mill Pond; if they appear shiny or slick, it’s time to replace them.

Winter storage: Even though most golfers take a break during the winter, Long Island’s cold, dry air can still damage grips in storage. Keep your clubs indoors and away from heat sources. Before the spring season starts, schedule a regripping appointment to ensure your clubs are ready to go.
