Caring For Your Irons

So you chipped in form twenty yards, hit the pin and the ball dropped klunk into the cup for a spectacular pro-like birdie. After the obligatory pats on the back and congratulations from the others playing the regular Saturday four-ball tournament you proudly proceed to the clubhouse. Upon entering the locker room you sit down, take off your golf shoes and are about to shove your clubs into your locker until next weeks game.

STOP

Haven't you forgotten something?

Your clubs have served you well and brought you many hours of enjoyment.

They will continue to serve you well but only if treated with the respect they truly deserve!

So how does one care for their golf clubs, especially the irons which tend to get the grubbiest?

Here is a little tip my father taught me and even thought it may take a few minutes it will add years to the life of your clubs and the nineteenth will still be there when you have finished.

You will need:

A small basin of warm water

A little washing-up liquid

A stiff haired toothbrush

Some cotton tea towels

A can of waterproofing spray (for car windshields)

So lets get started.

Basically the process is relatively simple and you can probably guess it form the ingredients above but I'll run you through it just to make sure.

1. Add a small amount of washing-up liquid to the basin of water and stir until it's bubbly.

2. Hold the shaft of the club near the head over the basin. Remember you are washing the head and not the shaft.

3. Dip the toothbrush into the water and begin to clean the club over the water. Be sure to get any dirt from out between the grooves.

4. Dip the head into the water to rinse (NOT THE SHAFT) and repeat the process until it is clean.

5. Using one of the cotton clothes dry the club head thoroughly.

6. Spray the head lightly with the window waterproofer.

7. Using a different cotton cloth dry the club thoroughly.

That's it ! Quick and painless....

You can now put your clubs into their locker happy in the fact that they will continue to serve you for a very long time. After all, even discount golf clubs are expensive and should be treated with the respect they deserve.
