\"HeaderIt’s important to properly care for and maintain your equipment. This article takes a look at how to clean golf clubs and grips.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The game of golf requests a lot of our time. Long hours on the range, early mornings out on the links, and endless putting sessions on the practice green spent trying to get the stroke just right. Dedication to the sport is a love affair – a labor of love in which the time you put in eventually – at least hopefully translates to lower scores. Taking care of your clubs is another story.<\/p>\n

Cleaning is never fun, and individually cleaning fourteen clubs after a long day on the course can often enough seem particularly tedious but that’s not to say that it isn’t important. Read on for a guide to how to clean golf clubs and grips.<\/p>\n

How to clean golf clubs<\/h2>\n

Why it’s important<\/h3>\n

The good news here is that your time isn’t going to waste. A common misconception is that cleaning and caring for your clubs is strictly for cosmetic purposes, but in reality, well-maintained clubs are essential for getting the best possible performance out of your equipment.<\/p>\n

For one thing, a clean clubface yields better results. Mud, dirt, grass residue and other gunk are going to affect the way the ball comes off the face, and not in a good way. And of course, there is always spin to consider.<\/p>\n

Spin, every amateur wants it, few take the steps necessary to actually take advantage of it<\/a>. Truth be told, the way the pros spin the ball<\/a> is unattainable for most. Only the games very best can zip the ball back a few yards when it lands on the green but with proper technique, and a clean club face you can enjoy soft shots that stop rolling after a hop or two.<\/p>\n

Clean grooves. That’s our next point. You can’t enjoy any spin at all without clean grooves. In the proceeding paragraphs I will teach you exactly how to properly clean and care for your clubface, and even your grips to ensure that you enjoy the best possible results.<\/p>\n

Cleaning the clubface<\/h3>\n

Fortunately, it’s really not very difficult to clean the face of your clubs, though it will take a little bit of patience. To start, simply draw some warm water. How you contain it will be up to you but the higher the volume, the quicker the process will go. If you have a traditional bath tub, that may be the best option.<\/p>\n

Once the water is drawn, mix in some mild detergent and allow you your clubs to soak in the water for fifteen minutes or so. Make sure that the clubhead is fully submerged for the duration of this time.<\/p>\n

When the fifteen minutes is up, take a soft rag to the clubhead, drying the face, and getting the gunk off in the process. Ideally, the time spent in the water will loosen the dirt so that you have no trouble getting it off.<\/p>\n

If you would like to add a little bit of sparkle to your clubhead once you have wiped the face down, metal polish will do the trick. To apply it simply rub it on using a fresh rag. It won’t improve the performance of your clubs but it will keep them looking nice.<\/p>\n

It’s worth mentioning that utilizing your golf towel during your rounds will expedite the cleaning process once you get home. If you hit a chunky shot on the course, take a moment to rub your clubhead down with the towel. It will keep the club working well during your round, and it will make it easier to clean once you get back home.<\/p>\n

Once you have completed this part of the process you should move on immediately to cleaning your grooves.
