Small habits = big improvements on the course
Golf isn’t just about perfect swings; it’s about preparation, consistency, and taking care of your golf gear. Whether you play golf regularly, practice at a mini golf course, or enjoy a full round at a golf course, how you maintain your equipment can greatly affect your performance.
Here’s a fun, interactive guide to keeping your golf gear in top shape.
1. Keep Your Gloves Clean and Dry
Test yourself: after your last round, did you just stuff your glove in your bag? If yes, you’re not alone!
Gloves absorb sweat and moisture, which can weaken leather or synthetic fibers. Wiping them clean and allowing them to air dry extends their lifespan and keeps your grip consistent.
2. Give Your Divot Tools and Ball Markers Some TLC
Think your divot tool doesn’t need attention? Think again. Dirt and grass buildup can reduce performance, and metal tools can rust if they are left wet.

Rinse after play
-
Dry completely
- Apply a light coat of oil if it’s metal
3. Check Your Tees and Mini Accessories
Small things matter. Warped or cracked tees affect ball height and launch, while towel clips and other mini accessories can get lost or damaged easily.
Even at mini golf or casual practice, using intact golf gear builds good habits and helps you play consistently.
4. Clean Your Clubs Like a Pro
Dirty grooves lead to inconsistent shots. Wipe off dirt, grass, and moisture after each hole. Use a soft brush or towel to remove buildup.
When you play a round, clean clubs maximize spin, control, and distance, helping you take your best shot every time. Keeping your clubs in top condition ensures peak performance each round.
5. Store Everything Properly Between Rounds
After play, make sure all your golf gear is dry and stored in a safe place. Avoid leaving equipment in hot cars or damp areas, as these conditions can warp or weaken materials.
Protect Your Gear, Improve Your Game
Maintaining your golf gear isn’t just about making it last; it’s about consistency, confidence, and smooth performance. Small, consistent care habits can turn a good round into a great one.
