 ON EQUIPMENT

"Yet it is a serious fact that players who have need of every bit of help in scoring often are hopelessly handicapped by their clubs."
 - Tommy Armour

"Many beginners & even some experienced players defeat their efforts to play golf by depending on unsuitable equipment."
 - Mildred Didrikson Zaharias

 "There are a number of golfing types who, in my view, cost themselves strokes because the clubs and/or balls they use are not those best suited for their particular games." - Cary Middlecoff

"Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose." - Winston Churchill

 TIPS

  GRIP - besides regripping, washing your grips w/ water & a good dish washing liquid (esp. "corded grips  [grips w/ cord threads running down the grips]) will keep grips fresher, more responsive, softer & lasting longer; using a hose or like with lots of suds and streaming water works well (rinse well), then dry w/ towel or paper towel.  If grips are genuine leather &/ or other like materials then other cleaning methods may be more highly recommended.  Cleaning the rest of club and clubface scorelines may also make using your golf clubs more enjoyable.
