Take Care Of Your Golf Clubs Off The Course And They’ll Take Care Of You On The Course

Our golf clubs are expensive as far as sports equipment goes, with the cost of some higher end golf clubs costing well above 100 for just one club you will no doubt want to make sure that you get a great performance out of the club and that they last you a long time. Some golfers may have simply thrown their clubs in their car boot leaving them free to roll around and get damaged by anything being piled on top of them.

Most golfers though understand how the condition of your golf clubs can determine your performances on the course and there are many slight bits of damage that could drastically change the course of your golf games. It is true to say as long as you take good care of your golf clubs that they will help your golf game improve and begin to see your golf scores slowly dropping down.

The first and most obvious measure is to get yourself a golf bag, many beginners sets of golf clubs will come with a golf bag to house them but you should make sure your primary golf bag is strong, sturdy and that the opening for your clubs is cushioned in some way. This is normally done with a felt or velour like material around the edge of the bag, this make sure that when sliding clubs in and out of the bag that the edges don’t scrape or scuff your club’s shafts and grips.

Larger headed clubs such as woods and drivers are normally made of metal these days, they are still vulnerable to knocks and bumps with metal denting and getting scuffs on them. Any marks or indentations on your club can affect the ball’s flight when you make contact so to protect your club heads it is advisable to buy a head cover. Head covers can be functional such as being made of neoprene or they can be more stylish or humorous with many different driver head covers available to brighten up your golf set.

Storing your golf clubs is important too, as previously mentioned a lot of people will keep their golf clubs in their car boot, but with the movement and knocking around your clubs could get bent or damaged especially if you were to be involved in a collision. Many people may keep their clubs in the garden shed or garage but these areas are exposed to the temperature and humidity changes that can happen throughout the year, this variation can have an effect on your clubs and quicken their decline.

It is advisable to store your clubs indoors where there is a regulated temperature and no high levels of humidity. Also they will be safer from any thieves who are more likely to break into your car, shed or garage than your actual house.
