Golf Clubs � Keeping them Clean

If your golf clubs are caked in dirt and oil than it could affect your game.

Clean up Your Act

Not only do dirty golf clubs mean you are not looking after your golfing equipment properly, it could mean you are affecting your game. Dirt in the grooves of your irons can reduce the chance of backspin, and if your grips are slick with oil your golf clubs could be slipping during your swing.

It would be crazy to let your golf clubs work against you � take care of your equipment and your equipment will take care of you.

If you've spent your hard earned cash on a set of golf clubs than you should maintain them well, keep them clean and well stored so they last longer.

Take Stock

When you take the opportunity to clean and undertake any repairs on your golf clubs, it's a good time to take stock of your equipment, examine what you have and what you will probably need to replace for the next season.

Do It Yourself

You can buy specialist cleaning kits for golf clubs from most golf pro shops. But you can also do it yourself.

It's so easy and straightforward, you really have no excuse for not cleaning your golf clubs. Simply grab a bucket of water and detergent and put your golf clubs in. Keep your clubs' ferrules above the water level. If you are new to golf, the ferrules are those black rings where the club meets the shaft. After letting the club heads soak for a few minutes to help loosen dirt and oils on the club heads. Use an old toothbrush to clean out the grooves. Rinse with a garden hose or tap and keep the shaft dry. Than dry off the golf clubs with a towel and run the towel over the shaft to ensure it's dry.

Cleaning Woods

If you're cleaning woods, than do not submerge in water but dip, rub with a cloth and dry. If you have persimmon golf clubs, just use a damp cloth and dry immediately.

You can buy waxes to protect your golf clubs � both irons and woods - from golf shops. Once your golf clubs have been cleaned, use covers for the club heads to prevent scratching and chipping. You can also clean leather grips with saddle soap.
