If it’s wet weather and the grips are wet are you allowed to wrap anything, e.g., a hankie, a chamois leather around the grip as you play your shot?
Lulu from Edinburgh, Scotland
Dear Lulu,
Yes.
Rule 4.3a(5) permits players to wrap a towel or handkerchief around the grip. A chamois is not mentioned, but I’m sure it would be perfectly acceptable.
If you prefer not to wear rain gloves, this is an effective way to keep the club from slipping out of your hands when you play in the rain.
Linda
