Is there any way to clean the crown (white part) of the driver? i have a little spot on it and it is killing me since this was the first day I even hit it (popped it up quite a bit)

I am not aware of any way to clean off the "pop-up" marks.  The paint is scuffed.

At this point, people have talked about using some polishing compound to minimize the scuff. Others go so far as to have it painted.

On the other end of the spectrum, you can just get a few stickers and no one will know.

Try a medium or fine rubbing compound that you will find in the automotive section of wal-mart or any parts store. However, if you drag your fingernail across the scuffed area and it drops into the mark(s), then it will be too deep to polish out. My TalorMade rescue was tarnished and dirty from all of the handsy folks at Academy, but a slight polishing with McGuire's medium rubbing compound made it bright white again. Hope this helps.

I had a friend who put clear-bra on the crown and sole of his r11, and it looked brand new when he sold it. As far as fixing sky marks on a white driver, I cannot help there.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
