Has anyone had any experience with humidity and it's effects on clubs that are dry and stored?

 

I have my clubs stored on an enclosed porch but we get alot of humidity during the summer and just wondering if I should move them inside to a cooler place

 

Thanks

Shafts can pit and rust in a humid environment, but an arid environment will shorten the life of your grips and bag.  I keep my clubs inside.

If you clean clubs once a month real good and regrip once a yr, same results?

My entire bag stays in my house always. The only time they are not is when I'm driving to the course and playing. When I'm on a trip I bring my clubs inside my hotel room or house where I'm staying.

My Sun Mountain bag currently includes:   TWGTLogo2.png.06c802075f4d211691d88895b3f34b75.png 771CSI 5i - PW and TWGTLogo2.png.06c802075f4d211691d88895b3f34b75.png PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges

I live in an area where the clubs get put away for months at a time.  I had the misfortune of storing a set in my humid garage.  My lack of judgement resulted in my steel shafts rusting.  I imagine that if I had gone out every few weeks and cleaned them it would have prevented the outside of the shafts from rusting...but what about the inside of the shafts?

Except when it gets over 100*, my clubs are always in the trunk of my car.  You never know when a game might break out.  But I live in the desert, so no rusting here.  However, I did play for a week in Myrtle Beach in the rain during the summer, and when I got home my LW shaft snapped at the bottom of the grip on the 5th hole; rusted through.  I brought the clubs into the condo, cleaned, dried and stored on the enclosed porch every night.  If it hadn't been raining all day long, every day, I would have taken 3 showers each day!!  I really hate humidity.

Odd. Any chance the club had already begun to rust prior?

I'll add side note to this, I do keep my golf balls either inside the house or in my truck. Which ever spot will keep them over 70 degrees. Warm balls to far lol

Mine stay in my house but I also don't have a garage as it was converted to a fourth bedroom.  I store all of my equipment in the house and only keep my clubs in the van when I'm going to and from the course.  Like Plaid I do not leave them outside when I'm traveling either but I've also had my clubs stolen out of the trunk of the car once.  That was a very sad day. :(

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

No chance.  I live in the desert; rains less than 7 inches a year, and humidity ranges from 15-40%.  I never played when the forecast was showers.  That week in Myrtle Beach it rained all day, every day, and it was August so it was also hot.  The water apparently collected where the grip meets the steel, and it never got dry.  When it snapped, I had been considering reshafting with graphite, so it was a good time to do that with all my clubs.

Be careful leaving your clubs in the trunk of vehicles during the summer, especially when it is hot, I doesn't happen to everyone, but it has happened to people I know, where the continuous heat has weakened the epoxy to where a strike to the ball has broken the head free from the shaft.

I used to leave my clubs in the back seat of my truck. Ended up having two different club heads twist on the shafts. Stopped leaving them in the truck and no issues since.

Living in FLA, I don't leave my clubs in the car as the temps really get up there.  Same for my garage, so they are stored in the house.  My primary set is usually found next to the front door....LOL

I store mine in the car. During the summer temps can spike in the high 90s low 100s.  Nothing wrong with the clubs so far.  When I was younger, I use to not keep the clubs long enough to matter.  At one point, I think I was buying a new set every year and the driver was a revolving door.  Since I'm older now and have kids, that has all but stopped...LOL
