Cleaning Clubs

[Jack_2251]

Hey I was just wondering, what do you guys use during the round, and at home, to keep your clubs clean and grooves dirt free (Predominantly irons and wedges). What tools do you use as well.

[CallawayOnly]

After each round I use Windex in a spray bottle and just spray my clubs and use a old tooth brush to clean the grooves and then dry with a towel.
I also have a ball/club washer like at the courses. It too is full of Windex. I use it sometimes to clean my irons and wedges. I clean everything after each round.
While playing I just carry a big bath towel and wet one end of it to keep my ball clean and wipe the clubs after every shot. I carry it to the green for putting to clean my ball after I mark and lift it.

I carry a old Washington Redskins tooth brush in my back pocket during a round and after each shot (if needed) I spit on the club and rub it with the brush then wipe it with the towel.....has worked for me

I like to keep my clubs clean during a round so that way I'm not spending time afterwards doing it

A wet towel. I'll even resort to spitting if my wife's not looking. ;^)

The range I go to recently bought a club cleaner so I always clean all my clubs when I hit balls there. At home I just use a little scrub-brush with warm water.

Old toothbrush, washing them all in the sink after rounds. I am really picky about this, cleaning all the tee-paint off the faces and soles, digging dirt out of the sole number stampings, etc. On the course, it's spit and a towel. I used to carry a brush in the golf bag, but decided it looks a bit too nerdy to do this.

I carry water in a bottle that is dedicated for cleaning.

Umm a wet towel? I really would like to see a divot make it hard enough that a wet towel cannot clean your club...

durning the round - towel on my bag
at home - fill a bucket up with a warm, soapy water soak all clubs (except for woods, and putter, dont get that dirty) for about five-ten minutes, then wipe them down thoroughly with a towel. It all takes about 20 minutes, and I do it once-twice per week.

Totally fanatical about keeping my clubs clean. Speck of dirt on any groove? Got a pin?

Cleanliness is next to...so the saying goes.

Is it really that time-intensive to take the time to read the threads on this forum and whilst at the same time clean your clubs really, really...well...uh...cleanly?



Grips, too?

I'm a wet towel guy too. Every once in a while I'll break out the mini flathead screwdriver to clean the grooves.

Terrier, those are some nice looking clubs in your picture there. Your's?

Yes, sir. Thanks for the kudos.

Wish I had the game to back 'em up. Played with a PGA pro recently that had Hogan Apex blades from the same era...a 975D with an S300...Apex blades lead-taped...and we talked "old-school clubs". Man, hell of a golfer.

I bungee them to the top of my SUV and go through the car wash. The blue swishy swashy's really do a good job on them, and the high pressure wax really puts a shine on 'em. They get blown dry at the end and then I just unbungee them and put 'em back in the bag and I'm ready for my next round.

Toofbrush for clubs? You crackers are crazeee.

LOL, I spit coffee on my keyboard.

I have this round brush that you can punch through a towel. I wet the heck outta that towel and then scrub with the brush after pretty much every shot, or on the tee give all the clubs I used on the previous hole a quick wipe. About once a week or so, I'll do the same as mentioned above - fill the kitchen sink with some soapy water, let all the clubheads sit in it for a couple minutes, then scrub 'em, wipe 'em, give the grips a wipe and leave everything out to dry completely.

A wet towel. I try to spend more time using my clubs than cleaning my clubs. If you wipe your clubs after each shot there should be no need to turn Martha stuart on them after the round.
My grips get cleaned on occasion though, and, you guessed it, I use a wet towel.

[wengerlaw]

I dip my clubheads in a bucket of warm, soapy water. Then scrub the grooves with a copper wire brush and the rest of the clubhead with a toothbrush. I rinse the clubheads in clean water and towel dry.

I've always found that a tee works perfectly well for what the towel doesn't get.

Dude, I just looked at your sig. Those Callaways are 16 and 19 'yo. I like the 19, that 16 I couldn't hit worth a crap.
