How often do you guys buy new clubs?  I bought a set of medicus hinge irons about two years ago and they are pretty much shot.  I take pretty good care off them.  I have left them out in the rain over winter but I don't think that would effect them.  The grips are crumbly because my pastor threw them in the pool at church and them were down there for like a week because I am not a strong swimmer, although i don't think the water really hurt them, it actually cleaned alot of the dirt out of the grooves.  ANYWAY, i went to the range the other day and the hinges were squeaky alot. The distance is still there but would the squeaky effect my GIR?  I called the medicus online chat room, but they were no help, just sounded like a fax machine.

I would recommend a little WD40. That should do the trik.

I would probably find another church or grab your uncle and cousin and demand that the pastor take your dunlop driver.

Was the pastor upset that you were playing on a Sunday or is he a golfer and they his clubs?    The latter is a perfectly rational explanation.

Anyway, don't swing a club that might come apart on you or if your grip might slip.  Dangerous.     4-5 years ago I was struggling with a low-loft driver and hit a bad shank.   Only later did I find that the head got knocked loose on the shaft.   Scary.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
