It's often said a golfer's best friend is his golf club. I certainly agree with the statement! That's why I always recommend that you follow the correct storage protocol for all of your golfing equipment. If not maintained correctly, over time your club will become damaged and unusable. Chips, scratches and even rust will form on your clubs if you don't look after them. Extreme temperatures can also cause damage, specifically to irons. Both heat in the summer months, and colder temperatures in winter are a likely culprit. A simple solution is to always store your golf clubs in the correct type of bag, container or display cabinet. Furthermore, it's not enough to just choose the best storage item, but you also need to know when to, and when not to use a particular style of box, cabinet or bag.

You can keep clubs which you don't use often in them as they will keep their air right and dust free. However access is more restricted making them not as practical as a rack or cabinet.

An often asked question is, can a golf club go bad, and when do you know if it's time to replace it? 1. Check The Grooves For Dirt and Debris One big mistake I see golfers making all the time, is not keeping their clubs clean. Almost after each stroke, a buildup of dirt, grass and debris will often be found on the grooves of the club. A dirty club will certainly effect the accuracy of your shots. I recommend that you regularly wipe your clubs with a damp cloth. Secondly, use a tee or hard brush for the harder to clean areas. 2. Look for Dents and Depression On The Club Face A good way to know when it's time to replace your golf club with a new one, is by inspecting the face of the club. Although iron is a strong metal, over time wear and tear will play a key factor. What I see time and time again, is either dents or a more subtle inwards depression on the club. These markings are found on drivers and irons as these clubs are used for more long range shots. Hitting the ball in the exact same spot on the club causes this damage to occur. If you see this on your club, it may be time to purchase a new one. Golf Clubs Storage Ideas Golf clubs are the most important pieces of equipment any golfer has.
