So, I’ve been having this problem with my golf clubs. They just get so darn dirty! I mean, I’m out there on the course, swinging away, and by the end of the round, my grips are covered in grass, dirt, and sweat. Not a pretty sight, and it definitely messes with my grip.

I tried a bunch of things, like wiping them down with a towel after each shot, but that got old fast. And those fancy grip cleaners? Forget it. They’re expensive, and honestly, they didn’t even work that well. I was starting to think I was just doomed to have grimy golf clubs forever.
Then, I had a total “aha!” moment. I was washing dishes one day (yeah, I do that sometimes), and I thought, “If this stuff can get grease and grime off my plates, why not off my golf grips?”
So, I grabbed my clubs, some dish soap, and a scrub brush, and went to town. I put a little soap on the brush, added some water, and started scrubbing those grips like there was no tomorrow.
- First, I made sure to get all the nooks and crannies, really working up a good lather.
- Then, I rinsed them off with the hose, just like I was washing a car.
- Finally, I dried them off with a clean towel, making sure to get all the excess water off.
And guess what? It worked like a charm! My grips were squeaky clean, looked brand new, and felt amazing in my hands. No more slipping, no more grime, just pure, clean grip.
Now, I make it a habit to clean my grips after every round. It’s become a part of my post-game ritual, just like cleaning my clubs and putting them away. And let me tell you, it makes a huge difference. My hands don’t get tired as quickly, and I feel like I have way more control over my shots.

Honestly, it’s the simplest things that make the biggest difference. Who knew that a little dish soap and some elbow grease could be the secret to clean golf grips? So, if you’re tired of dealing with dirty, slippery grips, give this method a try. You might be surprised at how well it works. And it’s way cheaper than buying those expensive grip cleaners, that’s for sure!
A few things I’ve noticed since I started doing this:
- My hands don’t get as tired during a round.
- I feel like I have more control over my shots.
- My grips last longer because they’re not getting worn down by dirt and grime.
- My clubs are not in a mess.
So yeah, that’s my story of how I discovered the secret to clean golf grips. It’s not rocket science, but it works. And it’s something that any golfer can do, no matter how skilled they are. Trust me, your hands (and your game) will thank you!
