Thinking of investing in one to clean my grip, golf clubs, whatever stuffs.. Anybody uses it and any thing I should know before diving into it


Very strange way to spend your money.

Certainly not an "investment".

There are easier and more effective ways to clean golf clubs.

Try an old toothbrush and a damp towel.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Yeah they get hot, typically a heated bath, which if it gets up around 200 could melt the epoxy resin either in a graphite shaft or a glued on iron head. Try GOJO hand cleaner for stubborn areas. I use the one with pumice on iron faces somtimes.

I've heard rubbing alcohol can do a good job. Or Goo-gone type products.

Rubbing alcohol does a great job.  Cleans the grime and restores the tack.  I have used it for a couple of years and there is no ill effect on the grip.

Alcohol is a solvent for silicone, which finds its way into a lot of lotions, car surfaces and plastic surfaces as a protectant from oxygen.

    • He’s got to be the best player that’s never won a PGA-tournament these days.
    • Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area. 
    • Day 18: a little under the weather, so just some mirror work while watching TV. 
    • That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂
