How to Properly Clean Your Golf Clubs

Doing proper maintenance and care on your golf clubs often is important to ensure the shelf life of your clubs and also give you the best shots. If the grooves of your clubs are filled with dirt, it can throw off the accuracy and distance of your shot. To avoid this, it is recommended to clean your clubs at least once a week, depending on how often you use them.

Prepare the Cleaning Solution

An easy to make cleaning solution for your clubs is dishwashing soap and warm water! Mix equal parts to get a nice soapy mixture in a bucket. Do not use too hot if water as this can also damage your clubs. Once you finish making the solution, you can submerge the entire head of your club and let it soak to loosen up any mud, dirt, etc.

Clean Out the Grooves

Using either a wire club brush or even a soft bristled toothbrush, gently scrub the grooves and head of your clubs. It is important not to scrub too hard if you are using a wire club brush because you do not want to scratch the surface of your clubs!

Properly Rinse Off the Dirt

You will want to make sure all the debris you’ve scrubbed off is cleaned off your club. Try to avoid wetting other parts of your club to prevent potential rusting and damage to the surfaces.

Don’t Forget the Grip!

You will also want to clean the grip part of your club with a warm moist rag. This is important because if there is oil, grease, etc. this can affect your grip and swing! You will also want to do a thorough check to see if the grip needs to be replaced.

Let It Dry Completely

Once you are done rinsing off the dirt, you will want to thoroughly wipe down the moisture on your clubs. Do no put your clubs in the bag unless you are sure they are dried because if they are not, the potential for rust to form will increase.
