Done it. Some of the questions are a bit strange. Surely nobody cleans their clubs after every hole? lol.

Is there a particular problem that might already have crossed your mind?

 

[patricks148]

some strange ones, need an option for cleaning a club after a shot.


as crow says what problems did you have in mind?

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Ok, done that for you, I guess your trying to improve on the damp golf towel which most golfers use to give the club a quick wipe down after playing a shot.

 

[HughJars]

Bizarre survey. Stopped after 6 questions. Yes I clean the club I've used after every shot. Yes I clean my clubs regularly with soap and water. No I don;t stand on the green after completing a hole with a basin and scrubbing brush

.... I don;t stand on the green after completing a hole with a basin and scrubbing brush

You don't? 🤔

Damn, you do that too...? I thought I was on to a winner with that idea...

Having responded the opening question honestly (lost distance, losing balls and incontinence as the 3 biggest problems on the course) I was hopeful of something really ground breaking...after which I was seemingly unable to set out my really basic club cleaning process (that I suspect I mirrored by most golfers) of starting the trolley, wet towel/brush/dry towel whilst walking, then club returned to await it's next outing.
I briefly considered installing a 5v ultrasonic cleaning module to run from the trolleys USB port but decided to stick to the towel.
Once had a snazzy rubber covered sponge and brush thingy...but a scrap of towel and a cheap home bargain's brush does a great job.

Clean club before every shot and after, usually use a wooden tee and then damp towel

Not wishing to upset Cahir - after all (s)he is only looking to do something to improve or make easier the life of us poor bleedin' miserable/happy goffers. But as ever there is a sense of a clever idea trying to find a problem when the existing solutions are the simplest and best.

Bit like the guy I saw once go onto Dragon's Den with a fancy bag sort of thing for you to put your past-it real Christmas tree in - to make it easier and tidier to get out of the house without needles going everywhere and scratching furniture and walls etc. I just use an old duvet cover

thats a bit like the Americans spending a million dollars on a pen that would work upside down in space and the Russians just used a pencil

lol i put lack of ability to all 3

 

[jim8flog]

Last question omits buggy as an answer Q5 and Q6 need better optional answers.

Which is a common misconception, if you use a pencil the lead can break, float around in zero gravity and go in someone's eye.

I have decided to look into players cleaning their clubs on/off the green

 

[patricks148]

I have decided to look into players cleaning their clubs on/off the green

why would you do that, ive never seen anyone clean clubs on a green, give the putter face a wipe occasionally, yes . but you only really take one club onto a green... the putter

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Now if you were looking at ways to keep divots in place instead of the birds or mowers lifting them up, and not be damaging to the mower blades you might have something.....

Sorry I meant the course in general not the green
