I clean my clubs after every shot. I use The Groove Tube! One of the best pieces of equipment I own.

As for how I clean the club...it varies..so I voted other. If it's very minor soil/light grass, I might wipe it on the back of the pant leg. If it's caked mud...that's going to the inside the Frogger towel. If there's hardened dirt lodged in the groves from say..hardpan...that'll require the point edge of the Frogger brush...( I'm not a Frogger rep or particularly a fanboy)...just really like those two products.

When I was 10, and that was more than a few years ago, I was having a lesson with my dirty clubs and the pro asked me if I would ever brush my teeth with a dirty toothbrush. I said, No, and he said, and you should never hit a golf ball with a dirty club. It kind of stuck. I clean the club after every shot, range or course. On the range this habit also has the positive effect of slowing me down to I think about each ballI'm hitting.

Before every round? Dang. Might want to change your user id from Recreational Golfer to OCD Golfer.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
