As a passionate golfer, you know that your equipment plays a vital role in your performance on the course. Keeping your golfing gear in top condition not only enhances your game but also extends the life of your equipment.
I want to share some essential tips on how to look after your golfing gear to ensure it serves you well for many rounds to come.
Why Maintenance Matters
Proper maintenance of your golfing gear can prevent unnecessary wear and tear, saving you money in the long run. It also ensures that your equipment performs at its best, giving you the confidence to focus on your game.
Just A Few Essential Tips
- Clean Your Clubs: Clean the club face after each shot. After each round, clean your clubs with a soft brush and warm soapy water. This removes dirt and grass stains from the groves of the club face.
- Check Your Grips: Regularly inspect your grips for signs of wear. It is recommended that all grips should be changed once a year, if you play more than twice a week, every 2 years if you only play once a year.
- Clean Your Grips: Always clean the club grips after each round, use a warm soapy solution and a firm bristled brush (a nail brush is ideal), scrub the grips, rinse, then dry with a towel then leave to dry in a warm place (do not lean them against a radiator)
- Store Properly: Keep your clubs in a dry, cool place. Avoid leaving them in the car or garage where high temperatures can cause the epoxy to become unstable.
- Inspect Your Bag: Ensure your golf bag is in good condition, with no tears or broken zippers.
- Golf Shoes: Always keep your shoes clean and dirt free, use an air hose to clean the grass and mud from the soles of your shoes after each round (if one is available at your club).
