There are countless good reasons why looking after your golf clubs is a good idea. Keeping your golf clubs in great condition extends the length of their life, saves you a lot of cash and is a responsible thing you can do to help keep golf equipment out of landfill.
Even so, the fact is that many golfers are throwing away clubs with plenty of life left in them, or struggling with used golf clubs that aren’t up to scratch, and at golfclubs4cash we’re here to change that. In April we launched our inaugural Golf Maintenance Month to help our customers prolong the life of their clubs and reduce the number of new items they buy for the new season. It’s fair to say it’s been a success, with lots of happy customers heading out onto the course with restored equipment that’ll give them the edge over their competitors and extra accuracy and precision on their shots.
“General wear and tear can really affect the performance of a golf club,” explains Dean Cracknell, Head of Marketing at golfclubs4cash. “So many elements could be affecting your game from the lie and loft through to the cleanliness of your clubs. We share simple fixes for the most common issues we see in our workshops, and give basic tips on how to maintain your clubs to avoid costly purchases and sending more clubs to landfill.”
Golf Maintenance Month has seen us offer golf equipment MOTs, regripping, shortening, extending and replacing shafts, loft and lie adjustments and shaft adaptor changes, breathing new life into second hand golf clubs and sharing our golf club maintenance tips on social media.
While many players turn their attention to golf club maintenance at the start of the season, it’s something you’ll need to keep on top of all throughout the year. Customers know that they can perform basic golf club maintenance tasks such as cleaning and regripping at home, but when they think that their club has reached what they think is the end of its life, they throw it away and buy new golf clubs. However, with expert maintenance, you’ll be surprised at how much more a club has to offer you, so we always advise customers to bring them into one of our stores to see what our professionals have to say.
We also have regular special in-store offers on golf club maintenance and accessories, such as our recent 14-grip deal starting at £79, so it’s always worth a visit in person to see what bargains can be found. Download the golfclubs4cash app to keep up to date with our latest offers.
