Good question. Probably not on the bag since I clean the green driving range mat goo off right away - when it comes off so much easier. Usually I use the flat part of the head of a golf tee.

Probably I'm looking for a catch all brush to use on my whole set while watching television. There are other brushes out there that work, but they usually have a vegetable peeler or gums scraper on one side.  I was just thinking out loud I suppose.

Please explain?

I wouldn't think they would be bad if you clean and dry your club after every shot before replacing the cover

Aside from wiping them after each shot, I like to thoroughly clean mine about once a week.  I used to use two buckets, one with warm water, one with soapy hot water, but after using simply a bucket of warm water once, that's all I ever use.  Oh, and an old toothbrush works way better than a nylon or soft brass brush.  But thats just my opinion.

Damn, some of ya'll take OCD to a whole new level! A half wet / half dry towel and quick wipe after each shot is the only thing I use.

Bucket

Washing up liquid

Hot water

Old toothbrush

Golf towel

I fill the bucket to about 2in of hot water and add washing up liquid. I dump my clubs into the bucket, making sure the water doesn't reach the hosels and leave them in there for 10 mins or so.

Then I grab the toothbrush, take whatever club comes out first and scrub it across the face, bounce and in the cavity. I then put the soapy club on the bathroom mat and move onto the next club.

Once all the clubs are scrubbed and soapy I run the cold tap and rinse the club head under the tap to remove all the soap and back onto the mat the club goes. Same for the rest of the soapy clubs.

Last thing I do is grab a golf towel and dry the club head, using the moistened section of towel to wipe along the shaft. The club is then leaned up against the wall and the rest of the clubs are dried similarly.

Then back into the bag with them all. Takes about 5 mins total and I do it only when I feel the clubs are looking a bit tatty so more often in the winter but more or less once per month in the summer.

5 gal bucket with water and a little dish soap, old toothbrush, and an old t-shirt.  Takes maybe 5 minutes to clean my full set.

Will soap and water work or will you need something stronger?


I fill a bucket with the hottest water my sink will produce, squirt in some dish soap, and let the clubs soak for 10 minutes.  When I pull them out I can wipe the range mat stuff off with just my finger.

Use brass brush to scrape out all the groves. Then polish with towel+glass cleaner. Wipe off grips paper towel+water.

Should I not use glass cleaner?

    • It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well. 
    • A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf  
    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
