Golf Club Repair For The Weekend Warrior
Ah, spring! Millions of weekend warriors setting forth ready to reclaim last year's bragging rights on the course. But, alas, lost in their swirling thoughts of winning this year's scramble is the fact that their clubs are in very poor condition. But, fear not, there is hope, and still time for you to address all of your golf club repair needs.
Stuff For The MacGyver Types
First, take a minute to look over all of your golfing equipment. Next, gather together a sponge, toothbrush, a dry towel, a bucket of warm water, and some mild dish washing liquid. The toothbrush is a very inexpensive way to clean up the dirt-filled club face. Just make sure you don't tell your wife that you borrowed her toothbrush in the name of golf club repair!
After you have cleaned up your equipment, you should check each of the clubs for any visible signs of wear and tear. Start at the grip, and work your way down the club. For those of you tighter with your money than Scrooge, simple black electrical tape can be used to cover up tears and holes in the in the grip. Finally, set aside any clubs that are in need of serious golf club repair.
Time To Call In The Pros
Any serious golfer knows the value of good equipment. Many golf courses feature golf club repair services for their members and often for the general public, as well. Old drivers can have the heads changed to feature a variety of metal and wood combinations. And can have the shafts replaced with the latest titanium or graphite materials.
A good golf club repair serviceman can also deepen the face lines of your irons. You should also have any of your rusty clubs buffed with a wire wheel to ensure a smooth club surface. In addition, at often a very nominal charge, the shop can also sandblast or repaint your clubs.
Finally, if you find out that your gear is beyond any reasonable golf club repair you can ask the staff to recommend some new equipment choices to you. Often golf club repair shops sell used equipment as discount prices. And, for those who believe golf is second only to breathing, you can often have your old clubs custom fitted to you. If you keep your stuff in good golf club repair, it can truly make a really significant difference on the links and most importantly to your scorecard.
