after cleaning while overseas.


I make an effort to clean my club after every game by myself. i somehow take pleasure in it.

I sometimes use my discarded tooth-brush.....I make sure I take the strain and stress of the toothbrush first on my own set of gums and teeth ............ before brushing it on my troops...aka my clubs

hmm then what about forged irons? any idea how frequent we have to oil them?

Now this is a thread I see myself really getting into!
Baby Oil, better to get Mineral Oil from hardware shops, literally the same thing, but unscented. 5.60 gets 1 litre
Brush, Metal brushes not the best idea. recommend small brushes for household use. NTUC 1.80!!!
Dish washing liquid, two rags...

but must always dry out the clubs. Ideally in the sun as water does get into the shafts and storing them before drying them out WILL cause pitting... And always sun the iron covers, moist covers will encourage rust as well...

where else?

Thanks for all the information and motivation! now i know what i can do for golf while nursing my bad back.... at least it is still for the love of Golf!!!

Aiyo.. you all baby their clubs so much ah....

Metal brush ok lah; but get the bass ones; brass is softer than steel.
I just cleaned and air my clubs yesterday because kenna heavy downpour in Batam. other than that bochup.

If you are really anal or refinishing your irons, then you can also get a buffing wheel and some polishing compounds.
In the past, if the irons are in quite bad/dull shape I usually start with a brown compound (think it's called tripoli or something), worked up to a white rouge and/or a red jeweler's rouge. But be aware of the glare from the irons under the midday sun if you polish them too shiny!
If you have small gouges and rock dings, you might be able to soften this out with a fine diamond file.
For satin finishing, you can do like what stanley suggested with a fine green wool or steel wool or get a fine brass brush (satin finishing brush) for a drill or a dremmel-like rotary tool.

For rust problems, main culprits are usually damn covers which trap the moisture and also mositure that gets trapped inside the shaft, and covered by the grip tape at the end. I use a sharp object or a tee to puncture the end of the grip cap/tap and spray in a little WD40 down.

I don't believe in oiling the clubs too much because it becomes a real hassle to remove all the oil for the game.
