Watching a youtube video from Rick Shields, his tour pro Caddie for that round cleaned his grips before the round. He was surprised but glad because he felt  them a lot more grippy than normal. 

I have a mid am competition stating this friday and I normally clean the grooves of my irons before a tournament I consider important, but never came to mind to clean the grips. 
Yesterday after cleaning the grooves I proceeded to clean the grips, after letting them dry they were supper grippy, even more than when they were new.
We will se how they are in a couple of days at the course, if they feel the same I think i will keep doing this before each tournament I consider important.

No.. but I should. It can only help. Of course, it only occurs to me when I'm not around my clubs. lol

I can honestly say unless I drop my club into something, I've never cleaned my grips. 
But, having thought about it now, maybe I should? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Nah. Goose poop is an excellent grip aid.

I used to do it before every competition round. These days I would do it very occasionally. I should do it a lot more, but I rarely have the inclination and the thought to do it at the same time.

Same here. Time to start again.

Thanks @p1n9183 for the reminder.

Not nearly as often as I used to. 
Since I changed to Pure grips, they hardly ever seem to need cleaning nearly always grippy 

With my previous grips  It was always very noticeable after you had cleaned them, not so much now.

I need to....I spend time cleaning the grooves as noted earlier. It would be a simple matter of making a few more minutes available to do the same for the grips.

I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that go to the expense of replacing their grips, when only a good cleaning will extend their life. Can make a very noticeable difference, depending on the grip material.
