Maintenance of your golf clubs

All clubs new or old require regular cleaning and maintenance to perform at the level they are designed to do so. Please take note of the following:

1) Woods: These must be protected from dampness. Head covers must be removed after paying in the rain or under damp condition. Dry the clubheads with a dry cloth.

2) Shaft: To prevent the chrome plating from getting rust, wipe it with a piece of cloth soaked in oil such as WD40. Do this once every 2 to 3 months.

3) Grip: Scrub it with soapy water every one to two months to prevent the grip from getting slippery. Soapy water must then be removed by rinsing. To improve old grips, gentle rubbing with sandpaper could help.

4) Clubhead: The grooves on the clubhead provide good control during the swing, hence these must be kept clean. Wipe away the dirt in the grooves with a piece of cloth after each shot. The grooves must be scrubbed with a brush with soapy water after each game.
