Keeping your golf equipment clean important for solid rounds
Tuesday 02 February, 2010
Although the colder weather seems to have passed, many golf clubs have still not returned to full opening hours because of the frost still present on the fairways and rough, particularly in the earlier hours of the morning.
However, as a day wears on and a glimmer of sun appears overhead, this ground begins to thaw and a course becomes much more playable.
Players may find it far easier to control their golf balls because of the softer ground, but it will also mean that the frosted top surface will be replaced by slippery mud.
Alongside making their golf clothing far dirtier, players will also have to contend with mud up their golf irons after a shot but often a filthy golf ball that may need cleaning when stood on a tee and on a green.
Many players may have a towel in their cart bag to put right this problem, while some courses will have ball cleaners on numerous tees.
But a wider number of golf accessories are available that further ensure that a golfer has the best chance of executing their desired shot.
Among these is a pocket ball cleaner, which combines portability with practicality to ensure that a player has a dirt-free ball on every hole without the need to complete a quick sprint to their golf bag.
Lightweight and small so it fits easily in a pocket, the accessory also has a waterproof outer lining to ensure that dryness is maintained.
The inside features two linings - one microfibre and the other a scrubbing mesh - to remove all dirt off of a ball, while a strong magnetic rim ensures all grime remains trapped.
Alternatively, players may find that their golf ball benefits from a more superior clean through the use of FizGolf CO2 Cleaning Spray.
The foaming agent used in the product helps to get deeper into a ball's dimples, which in turn allows players to gain a more accurate shot trajectory, while club face grooves can also be cleaned by the spray.
Furthermore, the product can enable players to get a better hold of their clubs by restoring grips, while a carabineer lid attaches to a golf bag to enable easier access.
A Two Way Club Cleaning Brush has both nylon bristles for a gentle cleaning of wooden clubs and wire bristles for a more harder scrub of metal irons and golf wedges.
Individuals hoping to rejuvenate their old grips could opt for the Yes Grip & Club Cleaner Sachet, which also works to keep the shaft of a club clean and free from rust.
Furthermore, it can be used to remove grass and dirt from the head of a golf club.
Finally, for those who prefer to stick to the tried and tested methods of keeping their equipment clean, the PGA Tour Golf Towel and Brush Set may prove a better purchase.
A cleaning brush is clipped together with a premium cotton golf towel to ensure that players have all the accessories they need to get the most out of their round.
Although the colder weather seems to have passed, many golf clubs have still not returned to full opening hours because of the frost still present on the fairways and rough, particularly in the earlier hours of the morning.
