How to Prepare for Humid Kentucky Summer Rounds

Hydration, club selection, and realistic expectations when the air is thick.

June 9, 2026 · KY Golf Staff

Kentucky humidity is a playing condition, not an excuse. Plan for:

  • One more club when you're not fully loose.
  • Rotating gloves — keep a backup in the bag.
  • Tempo over power — slick grips punish the quick swing.
  • Post-round recovery — shade, electrolytes, and a slower back nine if needed.
