What do you use to clean your golf clubs?

Question

Also, How often do you clean your golf clubs? A week, a month or never?

Answer 1

What you need is a plastic bucket (unless you're willing to clean your clubs in a bathroom or kitchen sink), a mild dishwashing detergent, an old toothbrush or other brush with plastic bristles, and an old towel for drying.Squirt a little of the dishwashing liquid into the bottom, then add warm water to create suds. Make sure the water is warm, not too hot (very hot water can loosen the ferrule on golf clubs).
You only need enough water in the bucket to cover the heads of your irons
After 1-2 minutes of soaking time, take each club in turn and use an old toothbrush (or other plastic-bristled brush) to clean out the grooves on the clubface. This is the most important step in cleaning your clubs - removing all dirt and debris from the grooves.
Also drag the brush across the sole of the iron and over the back of the clubhead, removing dirt, grass and other debris.

A soft-bristled brush should work fine. If you've allowed dirt to build up in the grooves and harden over time, you may need to allow more soaking time and then use a stiff-bristled brush. Never use a wire-bristled brush during cleaning.

Use your old towel to dry off the clubhead. Also drag the towel up the shaft of the club. This will remove any loose debris from the shaft and also ensure that the shaft doesn't go back into your bag wet.
Never submerge persimmon woods in water. It's a good idea not to submerge metal woods, either, because they usually have a nice, glossy finish.
Instead, quickly dip metal woods into the sudsy water, rub with a moist cloth, then dry with a dry cloth. Use a moist cloth to clean off persimmon clubheads, then dry immediately.

Use a soft-bristled brush, if necessary, to clean out the grooves on woods.

Clubhead: After every shot when playing or after every 3rd or 4th shot when practicing on the range (they have clubhead cleaners at every hitting station where I practice). Also, I double check to make sure the grooves are clean before all approach shots. However, I can't remember the last time I cleaned my driver.

Grips: When they feel dirty which is more often during hotter temperatures. Just use soapy water and a brush. If they don't come clean or they don't regain that tacky feel, then I just change the grip.

Shafts: When I notice they're dirty.

I watched a lady Korean professional thoroughly clean her grooves after every single shot while on the practice tee. It took her almost an hour to hit about 20 balls. It went something like this: Fiddle with grip, line up the shot, waggle, line up the shot some more, take the shot, hold finish, study the ball flight, check the divot, take a practice swing, take another practice in slow motion, pick up the towel, clean the grooves, put the club in the bag, get another club, pick out a new target, fiddle with grip, etc. She shot 65 in the final round and won the tournament going away.

Answer 4

I use a brush and that I bought at Walmart and water. It was part of a kit - not that expensive. The brush cleans out the grooves without scratching. The grooves should always be cleaned after every round for best results and you should use your golf towel after every shot to wipe away any dirt. The shafts and grips should be cleaned at least once a month with a damp cloth

Answer 5

Getting meticulous can add focus. I think you'll find that the better you get in this game called golf, the cleaner you will keep your clubs. For the most part anyway. Wiping them off after each shot on the course is part of becoming that better golfer. Otherwise stick em in a bucket of water once a year. That's not really very good for metal. I've not seen many good players with filthy clubs.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.

You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

Answer 7

I clean mine after every round so that I don't get buildup in the grooves which closes them down. I use water and a scrub brush on mine and it cleans them up great. If you wipe the face off after your shot, then it makes them easier to clean as well.
