Protecting Your Clubs – And a Great Article!

Tonight I thought I would pass on some advice on making sure your clubs can be kept in good condition. In the summer months particularly, you should not leave your golf clubs in your car trunk. You may not think that temperatures can get high enough in your trunk to affect your clubs but – especially in the hot days in the south – temperatures can get well into the 200 degree levels, and this is hot enough for some epoxies to fail. I know of a recent experience of this happening from a post from another clubfitter. Even without failures directly from heat, you run the risk with steel shafted clubs of the combination of heat and humidity causing rust inside the shafts. Last year I reshafted a set of irons for a client due to rust in the shafts. Better safe than sorry – keep those clubs out of your trunk!

I also wanted to pass on an article from clubfitter who has done some recent great writing – J. Lynn Griffin, owner of The Golf Stop in Columbia, South Carolina. This article is right on the money related to fitting of the right driver and fairway wood lofts, shaft flexes, and substitutes of hybrids for irons. I hope that reading this will provide some of you with food for thought about the makeup of the clubs you play.

Here is the web address for the article:
