433.0. "end of season maintenance" by MJOSWS::FAGLEY (beat the resident) Mon Oct 31 1988 15:59

      Hello All,
  
      I was wondering what people do to maintain their clubs at year
    end.  I have berillium irons and wonder if they need special care?
    They have a very low luster and I believe they are supposed to be
    dull looking.

    I just do the usual wash in warm soapy water and use a pin or something
    similar to remove any dirt from the grooves. Then I store them in
    a cool, dry place for the winter (which is usually where my skis
    are). I'll see them again in the spring.

    in the winter the clubs go from the back seat to the trunk.i mean
    i drop the bag after i pick a club anyways,so at year end i drop
    them in the trunk.

    Hopefully don't put them away just head to the Cape once in a while.
    But, some thoughts on end of year maintenance. A good cleaning as
    mentioned in an earlier reply and it is also a great idea to wax
    the shafts and metal heads. It should also be the time of year to
    check your wood (real wood) heads to see if they need to be refinished,
    new whipping, etc. Check all the clubs to see if they need new grips.
    It is a great time of year to get any work that needs to be done
    on the clubs done, then they will be ready for next spring...

       Gene, what's the right kind of wax to use?

    	re: .4
    
    	Don, the only wax that I have used is the stuff that comes in
    	those club cleaning kits (wire brush, couple small sponges,
    	wax, etc.). But, I don't know why regular car wax wouldn't
    	do just fine...!

    re .4, .5:
    
    Yea, I read somewhere that car wax would do a pretty good job.

    Rick, I have been told that Classic Coke will take that dullness
    of your Copper clubs. Soak them for a while in Coke then wipe them
    dry. They should look like new.

    oh ya, before i put the clubs in the trunk for the winter, i take
      that little towl off and wash it, then put it with the rest of
      the dish towels, so i know where to find it come spring.
