Easy & Effective Golf Club Cleaning Methods

Golf clubs are just like anything else; if you take care of 'em right, they'll last much longer.

When it comes to clubs in particular, keeping them clean has its own set of benefits, such as maintaining a high resale value and maximizing the club's performance. (More on that in a minute)

To help you get the most out of your GoGolf365 driver, hybrid, or wedge, we put together this quick and easy guide that runs through simple yet effective ways to clean your clubs. Let's get to it.

Topics Covered in This Guide

• How to Clean Grips

• How to Clean Club Shafts

• How to Clean Drivers & Hybrids

• How to Clean Wedges

How to Clean the Grip

Let's start from the top of the club and work our way down.

If you neglect cleaning your club grip, dirt, sweat, and moisture will build up pretty fast and negatively impact the grip you have on the club. Plus, prolonged periods without cleaning can prematurely wear it down.

We, and many other professional golfers, recommend the grip should be cleaned after every game.

What You'll Need

• 2 clean cloths

• Bowl of warm water - not hot!

Instructions

1. Soak one of the cloths in the bowl of water and wring it out tightly.

2. With a firm yet gentle grip, wipe down the club grip.

3. Remove any excess water that may have dripped onto the shaft with the second cloth and let the grip air dry overnight.

How to Clean the Shaft

Just like the grip, sweat and dirt can quickly build up on the shaft.

Keep in mind that all GoGolf365 golf club shafts are chrome plated, so it's very, very important that you use very clean towels when cleaning the shaft. If the towel is dirty at all, it can potentially scratch the chrome and therefore rust.

What You'll Need

• 2 clean, small, soft cloths or towels

• Bowl of soapy, warm water - not hot!

Instructions

1. Soak one of the towels in the bowl of soapy water and tightly wring it out.

2. Carefully and slowly wipe down the shaft with the wet towel. Frequently pause and rinse the cloth off in the bowl of water to remove any dirt to prevent accidentally scratching the chrome.

3. Take the second dry towel and gently wipe down the shaft until it's completely dry.

How to Clean Drivers & Hybrids

The proper way to clean a driver is the same method to use for cleaning a hybrid, so we combined the two into one section.

Mud and debris buildup in the grooves and ridges of your clubs can throw your game off, so be sure to take the time to read this section and apply what you've learned regularly.

What You'll Need

• Soft bristled brush

• Bowl of warm soapy water

• One large towel

• Two smaller towels

Instructions

1. Lay down the bigger towel on a clean, flat surface and lay the golf club on top of it.

2. Soak one of the smaller towels in the bowl of water and wring it out.

3. Using the wet towel, wipe down and thoroughly clean the club head. Give the towel a couple of good rinses to remove excess dirt on the towel itself.

4. Take the brush, dip it in the bowl, and gently scrub any ridges, indents, or otherwise hard-to-reach places until all of the dirt and grime is gone. Be careful not to touch the shaft.

5. Finally, take the other cloth, dry off the club head, and let it air dry overnight.

How to Clean Golf Wedges

Cleaning a wedge like the F2 requires more attention to detail than cleaning a driver or hybrid seeing as there's more grooves, lines, and angles in the club head.

With a little TLC, you can get your F2 shining like brand-new and keep it that way to continue conquering your short game.

What You'll Need

• Soft bristled brush

• Bowl of warm soapy water

• One large towel

• Two smaller towels

Instructions

1. Lay down the bigger towel on a clean, flat surface and lay the wedge on top of it.

2. Soak one of the smaller towels in the bowl of water and wring it out.

3. Using the wet towel, thoroughly wipe down the head of the wedge and rinse the towel in the bowl a few times.

4. Once most of the grime is off, dip the brush into the bowl of water and carefully scrub the grooves and curvy lines to remove any stubborn tiny chunks of dirt.

5. Wipe down the club head one last time with the wet cloth.

5. Finally, take the other cloth, dry it all off, and let it air dry overnight before putting it back in your golf bag.

I heard from reliable sources that a damp magic eraser for grips…..works really well;
Have you had or heard any experience with this grip cleaning process?
