I try to wipe them down as I am walking to my next shot. I bought a small brush set that clips to my bag. It has one that is a stiff nylon and one that is a light wire. I will hit the face with that right before I put the club back in the bag.

Irons- RAC CB/MB combo
Wedge- Vokey 52° Oil Can

I generally clean mine after every round. An old toothbrush and some dish soap in the tub works wonders.

used to clean them after every round but recently have just been lazy. I usually just bust out the wire brush before shops and give them a whirl, add in a wet towel and they're usually pretty good to go

You forgot to put "When there dirty" up there

In my Black'n'Red :

Driver: R7 TP 460cc 10.5* Reax 65 stiff shaft

Irons: Tour Impact 3-PWWedges: Vokey Oil Can Spin Milled 54.10, Golfco Baron 58* SWPutter: Tracy II 35"Balls: Prov 1Age:16


I wipe them off after every shot. I love playing courses that have club scrubbers on the carts.

After I get home, I wash them with dish soap in a big bucket and a nylon brush. The heads, shafts and grips all get a good scrubbing.

I've found that cleaning the grips will restore the tackiness, and keep them from feeling slippery or crusty.

In my Sasquatch Tour Bag:

Driver - G10 10.5°: UST Pro Vorce V2 Shaft, Regular flex
Hybrid - G10 21° & 24°: TFC 129H, Stiff flex
Irons - S57 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW - Nippon 950GH stiff shaftsWedges - Tour 52°, 60° 56°Putter - 34" TracyBall - Treosoft


Except for the driver and putter, they get spit on and wiped off before they go back in the bag.
I get them "toothbrush" clean when I'm bored in February and a tournament comes on TV. Hell, it's so boring during the winter here that I usually touch up the paint on my irons then, too.

Best, Mike Elzey

After every round and after every range session. I believe in golf karma. If the clubs are cleaned, they're happy...and they will be more than happy to perform for you!!!!!

    • Day 1 (3 Apr 25) - Restarting the routine after a 4 day quick trip.  Got back in the groove today for some swings of the 6i and driver into the net -‘to just warm the muscles a little.  Wrapped up the day with grandson hitting 20-25 yd pitches in the backyard.  Love watching his swing and also his concept of course management, to hear him say he left himself in a good position to finish (good words from a soon to be 9 yr old)….
    • Day 185 - 2025-04-03 Had a good 2.5 hour session at Golf Evolution. Kinda glad it was still wet and windy out today as I wouldn't have gotten such a good session in if I played. Got up to 93 MPH (with a pause) on my 6I and 130 MPH ball speed (on a different slightly slower hit, a bit more de-lofted than I'll want eventually).
    • I'm highly probable for the entire weekend, thanks for doing the hard work to set it up.  I can't wait for more details.
    • I take 2nd, is a confirmation that you can eventually win your major and also is good material for having a laugh about it in the distant future. 
    • I'm a relatively new golfer (<5 years) in my mid-thirties. So far I've spent most of my time and money on lessons and actually golfing. I'm currently a 90s-100s player, but hope to break into the 80s with lessons and practice. I'm definitely not of the mindset that flashy expensive clubs will help me play better...I try to make the assumption that my equipment is more capable than I am. That said, I do know that realistically that threshold does exist somewhere. I just have no idea where. At what point should I consider an upgrade from starter clubs to something I can grow into and improve with?  My stuff: Starter set (Callaway Strata) from Amazon. (3w, 5h, 9i-PW) Gently used Cleveland Wedges (LW, SW, GW) - My old ones were from a set from the late 90s, so I did upgrade these. Gently used TaylorMade M1 driver - The starter set driver had a regular flex, and I had several knowledgeable people tell me I should have a stiff flex Thanks in advance!
