I live in Florida and I've been keeping my clubs in the trunk for YEARS!

What about your golf shoes?

The best thing you can do for your golf shoes is to use shoe trees.  The wood ones.  They will extend the life of your shoes.

And not leave them in the trunk.

I used to leave clubs in the trunk for a few years seeing temperatures probably from single digits to 100F.  Didn't have any issues, except maybe a ferrule here and there, but eventually needed the trunk space.

 

No need to hide golf purchases from wife because 1- I don't buy much, 2- I tinker with her clubs almost as much, and 3- it's easy to justify when she does the same/worse with handbags or something else she doesn't need lol.

I own a truck so I leave them in the back seat.

 

it gets well over 100 here at times never had any issues..

Did you miss the mention of his wife? You think he can actually have two sets of clubs if he's using his trunk to hide purchases 😉

 

It was a joke.

 

Not an "elephant" joke but a joke nevertheless. 🙃

I have the pet theory that storage of clubs in hot cars is actually more the norm than not. Only us WRXers would even be having this sort of discussion.

 

If heads flying off and grips turning to dust was the inevitable outcome, we'd all know about it. But, it seems those symptoms are pretty rare.

 

I have no doubt that heat can accelerate the wear of grips, but I store my clubs in the car and the grips last multiple seasons (typically Lamkin Crosslines). I don't use more "modern" grips with fancier rubber compounds, so I can't say how they handle the heat.

 

Oh yeah -about those victory grips. I've never seen one that wasn't slick.

 

 

I use crossline cords.  Typically get 300+ rounds before regrip, about triple the life of GP ND.
