Care and maintenance tips for your golf clubs

Proper care helps your clubs perform better for longer and prevents damage not covered under manufacturer warranty. These tips apply to both stock and custom clubs.

1. Regular cleaning

• Clean club heads, shafts, and grips after every round.
• Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove dirt, grass, and debris.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads - these can damage finishes.
• Shop cleaning accessories at GolfBox

2. Dry your clubs thoroughly

• Wipe clubs dry with a towel after cleaning or if they get wet.
• Drying prevents rust and corrosion, especially on metal parts.
• Shop golf towels at GolfBox

3. Look after your grips

• Check grips regularly for wear, cracking, or loss of tackiness.
• Clean with warm soapy water.
• Replace grips when they feel slippery or worn - good grips improve control and comfort.
• Shop golf grips at GolfBox

4. Store your clubs properly

• Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
• Use headcovers on woods and putters to protect against nicks and scratches.
• Ensure clubs and bag are completely dry before storing.
• Shop replacement headcovers at GolfBox

5. Regular checks and professional servicing

• Periodically inspect club heads, shafts, ferrules, and components for looseness or damage.
• Bring clubs in-store for adjustments, regripping, or deeper maintenance. See GolfBox store locations for your nearest store.

6. Protect your clubs during use and travel

• Avoid hitting rocks, hard surfaces, or using excessive force.
• Use a well-padded golf bag for transport.
• Never leave clubs in a hot car for extended periods.
• On courses with rocky rough, carry an older mid-iron for those lies to protect your main set.

Wear expectations

• Some wear is inevitable given the nature of golf and repeated impacts.
• Forged irons are made from soft metals for enhanced feel, making them more susceptible to cosmetic marks and bag chatter.
• Following the steps above will keep your clubs in the best condition possible.
