Recently I noticed a tiny spot of rust on the face of my putter, which has a chrome finish, but thought it was just isolated and wasn't a huge deal. Well now, a couple weeks later, there are five tiny rust spots on it. I'm assuming I got them due to moisture left on the face that was trapped in the head cover (I am now going to start doing a better job of wiping my putter down after every round). Is there any way to get rid of this? Would a commercial rust remover like CLR do the job, or would that be a bad idea to use on my putter? Also, will this affect the performance or feel of the putter in any way? I haven't noticed any difference so far, but if it keeps building up could it?

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, it's completely ruined. It won't ever look or putt right again.

You should just send it to me for proper disposal.

Should be fine man, oil can wedges are meant to rust and that gives them a lot more touch. Just take WD-40 or some other rust remover, spray it on a rag and then wipe it down. If you do this for a few days straight it should be gone soon. Also, theres no way this would ever affect your putting in any way.

DO NOT USE WD40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it actually contains chemical solvents that adhere fertilizers and other chemicals used on greens that will eat through that rust spot and only make things worse use an electrical grade silicone lubricant (dupont makes one)... this is a safe thing to use

Contact Bettinardi, Mizuno or where you purchased the putter and maybe they can recommend something or better yet possible replace the putter for you, worth a try.

that would be amazing if they would replace the putter, but... thats highly unlikely

keep the putter lubricated with a silicone lubricant and make sure you arent keeping the putter in a moist headcover.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
