I bought a used Ping Redwood putter a few days ago, and was curious as to whether there were any steps, if any, I needed to take to properly care for my new club. It currently has some small rust spots, mainly cosmetic (the ball feels absolutely glorious coming off the face), but I wanted to maintain it as well as I could.

Thanks.

If it has a head cover then keep it on, otherwise buy one for it, you won't have any trouble finding one. Are the rust spots on the face? You could sand them off, I don't think it would affect the ball coming off the face at all if you're careful.

For sure keep a head cover on it, if you have rust, spray some WD40 on it and wipe it down real good. Also after you finish playing wipe it down real good and make sure the head cover isn't damp on the inside, storing a milled putter in a damp head cover is one of the main reasons for creating rust spots.

Well the the rust spots aren't really spots so much as flakes, so I sanding would surely do more damage than leaving it be.

But thanks for the replies guys.

A little steel wool would do the trick. I used it in the cavities of my last irons, and there was no marks post rust spot removal.

Do you have a dremel tool? if so, get a polishing wheel(cloth) and some white polishing rouge. This is a mildly abrasive compound that will not remove the finish. I am a machinist on the side and have been for years, I know how to remove rust. Trust me, if you take your time and only push the wheel in the same direction, you will not damage your putter.

Getting better........

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
