I'd check with your local sporting goods store.
If not that then go with what the pros do. As LP42 posted, keep a dry towel handy to keep the moisture off your grips. Carry more than one glove(s), and change the wet one(s) out for dry one as needed. Most, if not all golf bags come with a rain, or travel hood, which can be used. If lost, a replacement can be purchased which is usually made out of clear plastic. An umbrella can be used if rain is the issue. If after all of the above has been utilized to no avail, I'd head for the 19th hole, and call it a day. GJS |
For Scrags: 14-3c: Players must not use any artificial device or unusual equipment that might assist him in gripping the club, except that:
1) plain gloves may be worn;
2) resin, powder and drying or moisturizing agents may be used; and
3) a towel or handkerchief may be wrapped around the grip.
(The penalty for breach is DQ)
Now, I'm particularily curious. In football (ok, American football), offensive players often wear gloves that have a tacky substance similar to resin built into the palms and fingers of the gloves, to aid in gripping the ball.
I wonder if such a glove would be legal in golf - like an item in 1) that incorporates things from 2). It's the interesting use of the word 'and' at the end of 2) that makes me wonder if 2) can be used in conjunction with 3), but 1) must be used without 2) or 3).
