Spring is upon us and its time to break out those dusty golf clubs and get them cleaned up for another golf season. Here are a few simple golf tips to get your clubs ready for that first trip to the links.

Unless your clubs are extremely dirty, cleaning them for the new golf season is not difficult. All you need to do is get a bucket of warm water with some dish washing detergent in it. If it is too hot to put you hands in, it's too hot. You may loosen the glue that holds the club head to the shaft. A wet rag, a dry rag and an old toothbrush or other nylon bristle brush and you are ready to go. It won't take long to clean 14 clubs.

Some people like to soak the club heads in the water but all you need to do is to soak a rag in your soapy water and rub each club down lightly. By doing one club at a time, by the time you do all the golf clubs in your bag, the club you started with will have had a couple minutes to soak.

Next, dip your nylon bristle brush in the soapy water and scrub the club heads and grips. Pay particular attention to the faces of your golf club irons, getting into the grooves. Take your wet rag and wipe off any loose dirt that the brush removed. Rinse your clubs with clean water. Wipe the heads, shafts and grips with a dry rag.

You can wipe steel shafts down with a light coat of car wax if you wish but be careful not to get wax on the grips or face of your clubs.

This method will work with your putter, irons, fairway woods and driver.

If you have persimmon woods, DO NOT soak them in water. You may clean the faces with your brush and then immediately wipe them down and dry them.

While your clubs are out of the bag, now is a good time to wipe down you bag with a damp cloth and dry it with a dry cloth. Same goes for your golf shoes.

Once all your golf clubs are thoroughly dried ,you can put them back in your golf bag.

Now you have a nice clean set of clubs and should be ready for your first trip of the season to the golf course.
