Soaking them in Coke? Whats the purpose of that? Just curious.

Buffing wheel and buffing compound will help if the scratches are not gouged through or deep into the chrome.

I use the wet/dry towel method on the course. You gotta keep your grooves clean during the round.

Once winter comes to Ohio (even though we play all year round if it is above freezing and there is no snow on the ground), I fill up the down stairs bathroom sink (so I can watch the golf channel on my BIG screen TV) with warm soapy water and clean the head, and then use Comet (R) cleanser (the powder stuff) on the grips with a nylon brush, with a warm water rinse.

Don't forget your grips Gals and Guys. Clean grips are more important than shiny heads....

Coke is actually a pretty good chrome cleaner. Which kind of makes you wonder why we would drink it! I don't think it will repair major scratches, but if they are just surface scratches it will probably clean them up so they aren't as noticeable.

Thanks guys for the info.

I'm gonna try the "coke" method and see what happens. Hopefuuly that will do away with some srcathes. If that doesnt work I will break out the buffer wheel.

Anything that is semi acidic (vinegar, coke, etc) will polish up chrome and some other metals pretty nicely. But that is why coke is so bad for your teeth as well.

Vinegar works better but I just can't stand the smell. I'm a chem teacher so I got some tricks up my sleeves.

You mean I am supposed to clean them? Now that explains a lot.

Although they are usually pretty clean after I fish them out of the water hazard.

Also, if coke works, what about diet coke? My clubs are on a low carb diet...I don't want them getting all fat like that driver.

I clean my grips with alcohol .
I just use water and a nylon brush for the heads and grooves.

I think I will start trying the wet towel method on the course like others have mentioned.

    • Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…

    • Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.   
    • Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
