As any golfer knows, your clubs can play a big part in how well you perform out on the golf course. This is obvious if you step into any golf club store, there are hundreds of different models for each golf club from big hitting drivers to a myriad of differently designed putters. Golf club design is a big business with many popular brands such as Ping, Nike, Callaway and Cleveland all regularly releasing newer and improved versions of their clubs.
Obviously there are beginner clubs that can help you make shots easier with enlarged sweet spots but there are many more valuable professional clubs with a whole host of technological advances that set them apart. Looking after these and any other golf clubs is vital so that they remain in perfect condition and last you a long time.
Cleaning your club heads is important as they can get caked in dirt, sand and water (depending on how well you're playing that day!), a lot of club faces have grooves cut into the face to help add power and direction to the ball, if these grooves are filled with dirt then there's a good chance that the ball could be fired off in a different direction.
Cleaning the club face of any mud is simple enough as you can wash your club heads before or after a round of golf in warm soapy water. You can also get specific golf club cleaning brushes which consist of a wire brush as well as a softer nylon brush to help clean your club heads but not damage them at the same time. You should make sure your club heads are dry also as a wet club head can cause problem as well as damage it over time, golfers will usually have a towel attached to their golf bag for this as well as having head covers to keep rain from getting on their clubs.
You should also be mindful of your golf club's grips too. Over time some rubber or tape based grips can come loose, split or tear and can need repairs or refitting. Again, water can cause this problem so it's important to make sure that not only is the club grip dry when you replace it back into your golf bag but also that the bottom of your golf bag is dry as your grips will be sat here when not in use.
If you take time to care for your golf clubs then they can last many years, perfect for saving money on golfing costs but also making sure that your favourite clubs perform at their best each and every time you go out on to the course.
