Introduction

Golf clubs are expensive. Keeping them clean is key to making them last a long time. This guide shows you how to clean golf clubs and keep them in good condition.

Mistakes Golfers Make When Cleaning Golf Clubs

Many golfers make the mistake of soaking their clubs in a bucket of water for too long. This can damage the grips and ferrules. Avoid using wire brushes; they can scratch and scuff your clubs. Instead, use softer materials. Leaving clubs to dry in the sun can also cause grips to deteriorate and metal parts to rust. Always use a suitable cleaning solution and ensure clubs are thoroughly dried after cleaning.
