1. Scrub with a brush and warm soapy water.
2. Scrub grip end.
3. Put finger over hole in grip, rinse grip and club.
4. Wipe with dry towel. Use air compressor to get water out of cavity back if needed.

I clean them after most shots.
Every so often (once every couple of months) I'll clean them with water and clean out the grooves.

If you take care of your clubs on the course you don't need to clean them after a round

I don't normally carry a wet towel with me on the course, like I probably should, so I am one of those guys that needs to clean his clubs every once in a while (they could actually use a good cleaning after today's round!). I usually just get a bucket of warm water, let them soak for a few minutes, scrub them with a nylon brush, rinse in the bucket again, and dry with a microfiber towel. Never thought about using soap though...

I'm amazed at the amount of soap you're using. Do you have forged or cast heads?


I use HOT water (like, scalding!) and one squirt of a very mild soap. The hot water and elbow grease get everything out, especially if you clean during the round like you should. Clean my clubs whenever they need it which is a few times a month and clean the grips once a month in the fall/spring and once a week in the summer.

I clean my clubs after every shot too, but every few weeks I like to give them a deep clean. I'm mainly going after the grips, but find I can clean out the grooves a little too. I'm good at keeping the big stuff cleaned out, but there is always a little dirt and grime the corners.

... I use HOT water (like, scalding!) and one squirt of a very mild soap. ...

We have a two-sided wash bucket. I put a gallon of hot water in both sides, and a squirt of liquid dish soap in one side.

I soak the heads, and use an old tooth brush to clean out the grooves; on irons, also the back area. If the course had sticky soil, I may need a golf tee to get out everything out. After brushing I dip-rinse the heads in the clean water, and dry them off. The hot water largely evaporates, preventing rust. Same set-up for cleaning grips once or twice a season. Only difference, I make sure I have more water on each side.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I use a bucket with a small squirt of dish soap and brush. I don't soak the clubs because I don't need to and I don't want the heads to be submerged for any length of time. Different epoxies respond differently to complete submersion although I doubt brief periods would have any effect. But I think it's important that people don't forget and leave their clubs overnight or for a "prolonged" period. Better safe than sorry as far as I'm concerned.

Well, it wasn't that much, just swished it around a bit to get some bubbles. Cast heads, my setup seems to work pretty well for 'em.

1) Soak in warm water and dishwashing liquid

Works for me. Got some bad stuff or just want to really shine them up? Get a Dremel motor tool and the Dremel polishing kit. They actually make one specific for cleaning golf clubs. Works great and makes clubs look brand new. Here is the basic cleaning kit... http://www.amazon.com/Dremel-760-04-...7965882&sr;=8-1 Here is the actual polishing kit that can be used with any Dremel.

Do you personally own one of these? If so, how's the results? Really worth it, or could a good 'ol scrubbing do just about the same job?

I have used the polishing kit with great results. Didn't buy the golf specific "cleaning" kit as I have those (and 100's other) attachments in other kits. Dremel motor tools make short work out of many tasks. Cleaning golf clubs is one of the more fun ones I must admit. Just get a cordless Dremel as it is much easier to work with. Mine was about $70 from what I recall, but they make some less powerful ones in the $25-30 range that would be fine for cleaning/polishing golf clubs. Metal only, don't ever mess with painted surfaces, drivers, etc... But for irons, this is an ideal thing for polishing.

I fill the sink hot water and put a squeeze of dishwashing soap. Let them soak for 10 minutes or so (water below hosel) and then one by one use a soft brush and lightly scrub. Rinse off in the other side of sink with clean water and dry. Usually do this every two weeks or so.

I always wipe mine down at the course or range so build up is never too bad but this last week I went to a range that had red stripes on the balls - yuck. Good for noting impact, bad for aesthetics. Also, the crap that builds up after using mats, I hate that.

You guys have too much time on your hands! Jeez, these are golf clubs not precious gems or expensive cars. They are tools, use a wet towel to clean them after each shot them every so often a bucket of water and a brush of some type. I don't know, maybe I am just out of touch but spending hours cleaning and polishing a golf club seems like a giant waste of time.

Then again I am also the guy who thinks iron covers are the lamest golf item you can possibly own. If your irons look like new then you aren't playing enough!
