Yeah - I'm with Lefty on this one. Why would you want to do that? Golf clubs are going to be digging into turf, they're going to get dirty, and I think they look great after a cleaning with a brush and soapy water. Also, the wax may leave a residue on the face of the club which may could alter its playing characteristics. Has anyone ever heard about the trick involving putting vasoline (or chapstick) on the face of your driver? Apparently, you can hit it straight as an arrow like that.

Don't put it on the face, or it will change the playing characteristics. Applying a foreign substance to the clubface is prohibited by the Rules of Golf.

I tried to use Car Wax to clean up some ball mark on crown of my driver. Not the face of my driver.

Any good tips to clean up ball mark on my driver? As I missed hit a ball and leave some scratch or ball mark on side of my driver crown.

If it doesn't affect the play I don't worry about a scratch here and there. Anything that is designed to hit the ball (or the ground

) at over 100 mph is going to suffer some cosmetic damage over time.

Hey guys, interesting topic, I actually used some Meguiars NXT wax on my shaft and the top of my driver the other day lol. But not on the club face of course. I just did it to make it look more shiny if anything.

And with this vasoline trick on the club face, although i just read a couple posts up it's illegal to put a foreign substance on the club face, does it work with irons too? and how much do you have to put on? just wondering

With chapstick, do you apply like a thin coat on the face of the driver? Wow, I gotta try this method lol...By the way, did you mean vaseline (hand lotion)?

    • Day 622 - 2026-06-16 Played 16 holes. We skipped 10 and 11. Backswing is good. Most of the time.
    • Day 287 6-16 Full, fast swings with controlling low point. Did ok just wasnt feeling it tonight. Recorded swing, no ball.
    • I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.
    • I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
