Simple Golf Tips – Spring Cleaning Those Dusty Clubs
Spring is upon us and it's time to break out those dusty
golf clubs and get them cleaned up for another golf season.
Here are a few simple golf tips to get your clubs ready for
that first trip to the links.
Unless your clubs are extremely dirty, cleaning them for the
new golf season is not difficult. All you need to do is get
a bucket of warm water with some dish washing detergent in
it. If it is too hot to put you hands in, it's too hot. You
may loosen the glue that holds the club head to the shaft if
the water is too hot. A wet rag, a dry rag and an old
toothbrush or other nylon bristle brush and you are ready to
go. It won't take long to clean 14 clubs.
Some people like to soak the club heads in the water but all
you need to do is to soak a rag in your soapy water and rub
each club down lightly. By doing one club at a time, by the
time you do all the golf clubs in your bag, the club you
started with will have had a couple minutes to soak.
Next, dip your nylon bristle brush in the soapy water and
scrub the club heads and grips. Pay particular attention to
the faces of your golf club irons, getting into the grooves.
Take your wet rag and wipe off any loose dirt that the brush
removed. Rinse your clubs with clean water. Wipe the heads,
shafts and grips with a dry rag.
You can wipe steel shafts down with a light coat of car wax
if you wish but be careful not to get wax on the grips or
face of your clubs.
This method will work with your putter, irons, fairway woods
and driver.
If you have persimmon woods, DO NOT soak them in water. You
may clean the faces with your brush and then immediately
wipe them down with a DAMP cloth and dry them thoroughly.
While your clubs are out of the bag, now is a good time to
wipe down your bag with a damp cloth and dry it with a dry
cloth. Same goes for your golf shoes.
Once all your golf clubs are thoroughly dried ,you can put
them back in your golf bag.
Now you have a nice clean set of clubs and should be ready
for your first trip of the season to the golf course.
