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.
