Please describe the procedures.. tongue.gif (I seriously don't know lol)

 

Battery acid on the grips and a chisel for the grooves

 

I use warm soapy water, a nail brush & very fine wet & dry sandpaper when the irons start to look a bit scratched etc.

Cheers

I'm with CI - except use a toothbrush with hard bristles ...

 

Soapy water and a brass brush.

 

I use pine o cleen, warm water and clean the grooves with a golf tee, then buff with a bit of steel polish to finish them off.

 

I use warm soapy water and an electric toothbrush... Every now and again, I'll give them a go with some metal polish...

 

dont clean your clubs - ever, its bad luck.

and if your ever between clubs, always choose the dirtiest one.

For further information, send me a PM?

I am constantly amazed by the number of people I see going to extraordinary lengths in choosing clubs based on groove depth/design, milled face, etc, etc, then play with a layer of dirt covering the club face. Go figure!

Cheers, Peter.

 

Wipe each club after pretty much every shot on course with a damp towel so I hardly ever have to clean them as a set at home.
Clean grips with water & green scotch pad once every few weeks.

Hi,

Pretty much the same as timatldg, wipe it everytime you hit a shot.

But for the grip I have a special care of it.

I like my grips extra tacky, so once every 2 weeks or so I will dip the grip into sink full of warm water with have dishwasher liquid in there for about 15 mins, then use gladwrap to wrap the grips and leave it for another 1 day. When finish the grips are very, very sticky smile.gif

 

At home after a round, soapy water and an old toothbrush.

And don't leave your metal-shafted clubs sitting in water while you clean them ... water can seep under the hosel and cause the shaft to rust. Eventually the shaft will break at the hosel and the head will fly off.

Make sure every couple of rounds you have an early tee off. Couple of practice swings in the dew soaked rough works a treat.

Hosel or Ferrule?

Beware of cheap imitations - Especially from the US

Mainly ferrule (but if there were any gaps in the epoxy, it could get down below the hosel).

I've had one 7-iron break off right at the hosel, rusted under the ferrule.

Another cool one is to take your clubs to the car wash and hit them with the high pressure hose.

Makes for good looks from the people...

 

wipe with a towel after each shot or clear the grooves with a tee. I also have a small brush in the bag if I am really particular.

Every so often a brush with soapy water & towel dry, but if cleaning on the course no real need for this.

 

Wipe 'em after every shot...they keep reasoably well dong that...after rain affected round I pull them all out and clean the grooves while they are soft with detergent ant nail brush then give the grips the same treatment then hit the shafts and back (not the hitting surface) with the ONCE A YEAR car polish to keep the shafts from 'pitting'. I also do the woods with the polish and do their faces with stainless steel appliance cleaner...keeps them looking tip-top!

 

I just use a damp towel and some elbow grease to clean my clubs, if I have a pretty intense session on the range I try to clean the clubs I use every 20 shots or so, on the course I clean the club after every shot.
