cleaning

i need to clean my clubs but if i use water wont it damage them

Clean mine after every round with water and have no probs.

Are yours forged..?

Does it damage them when it rains?   

I do mine in exactly the same way as Wanye, but in a washing up bowl of warm water rather than the bath.  The nailbrush is great for getting the dirt our of the grooves on your irons.  As long as you dry them off with a towel and then give them around 30 minutes to air off before storing you'll be fine.  Also, if you rub a little fairy liquid on the grips it makes them really sticky - a good tip for the winter months (also a little fairy liquid in brick laying mortar makes the mortar more pliant and the laying easier - my tip of the day). 

And mine are forged. 

I clean mine using warm water as the other contributors, except that I use an electric toothbrush to get the dirt out of the grooves, particularly good for the spin milled area on my wedges.  It does sometimes loosen the glue on the hosel (but that's only the cosmetic bit) but a bit of superglue can stick them back in place.  Have used washing up liquid on the grips for many years - a trick I picked up for motorcycle grips when my brother raced them.  If the clubs are a bit stained give 'em a polish with Solvol Autosol - works on steel heads, shafts, titanium and composite shafts a treat.  Also applied sparingly with an electric toothbrush. 

All the builders I know use fairy liquid as it's better.  If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for my barbeque.

Didn't need them.  I get Jo to do the barbequing.  I'm not trusted with naked flames in the garden since I had a bonfire that came close to the fire brigade being called and the house nearly being part of the bonfire.......

A little fairy liquid on the grips makes them tacky - great for damp winter months. 

If your grips are worn, get them changed.  Just had a new one fitted to my driver for £3.48, including a Lambkin grip.  When it's that cheap (and it only took ten minutes) there's no excuse. 

A bowl of warm, soapy water.

Clean the grooves on my iron with a small nylon brush.

Run a damp cloth up the shaft and then over the grips.

Using a dry towel wipe the whole club, leave to stand for half and hour or so.

If your grips are really worn then it would be better to get new ones fitted, if they are not worn then cleaning them will make them last longer.
