Golf Clubs-When And How To Clean Them

Sporting a trendy golf bag and swinging in great golf wear won’t do it for you unless the clubs that you use to hit the balls are clean. While playing in an office tournament or while showing off your girlfriend your teeing skills and ending up with a dirty club head or a golf bag with questionable smell is not a place one would want to be in!

Although many companies have professional cleaning kits for golf clubs, it is actually a very easy process and hardly needs any sophisticated cleaning agent or cleaning tool! You can very well use stuffs lying around in the house to clean your golf clubs.

1. First pick up a Sunday. Then look out of the window and see if it’s sunny or not! If it’s sunny, don’t think twice and take your golf bag out. Take out the clubs and empty all the pockets and turn the bag over to shake off all loose dirt. Now use a lightly damp cloth to clean each pocket and then keep its open face out on the sun to let it dry.

2. Then get yourself a bucket, some mild cleaning liquid, not the ones used for washing machines or dishwashers. Ensure that the cleaning liquid is meant for hand wash. Also have an old toothbrush and some towels with you. That’s about all that you would need for cleaning your golf clubs. Throw in a chair and a glass of lemonade for your own comfort!

3. Now pour few drops of the cleaning liquid in the warm water and work up lather. Drop in your clubs, the metal end into the water and soak them for sometime while you sip on your lemonade.

4. Once the clubs are dipped for a good fifteen twenty minutes and you’ve finished your lemonade, pick each one up one by one and use the tooth brush to clean off any dirt from the club heads. Use the brush lightly and do not miss any corner. Dried up soap and dirt may actually corrode your club in long run.

5. After you have brushed off the dirt from the club heads, hose these off with clean water. You can use your garden hose pipe for that matter. Again ensure that all loose dirt and soap particles are removed from the club heads.

6. Finally while sipping in to your next glass off lemonade, dry off the club heads one by one. It is very important that the club heads are dry. Do not put wet club heads back in to the golf bag. While you are drying off the club heads, remember to run a damp cloth over the grip and the handle as well. If your club has any woodwork, do not emerge that part in water. It may cause permanent damage or discoloration.

So there you go. Simple, easy and an enjoyable way to have that sparkling clean set of clubs to show off your golfing skills. Remember the more care you take of your clubs and your golf bag, the longer will be the relationship between you two!
