Storing clubs in the garage.. any damage?

[vkurup]

Slow day in the office, so here is the question.,.

Most of us store our clubs in the garage or other unheated places. As the cold weather sets in, does this inflict any thermal wear and tear on clubs? I am assuming exposing the steel shafts to freezing weather and then using them to hit the ground during a round is not going to be too good..

thoughts on a postcard...

Mould/spores/damp?

Rust on shafts or forged heads from condensation. Cover them with WD40.

I keep all my stuff in the house.

Locker at your club?

Dont have one... we are part-private, part-public course, so very limited locker space.

Steel shafts will rust from the inside out, so you won't know its happening. Ever heard something travelling up and down the shaft on a really old set? That's a bit of rust broke off. Sneak em in the house if you can.

Don't know about clubs, but a mouse built a nest in my summer shoes stored in garage during the winter. Chewed up the laces and made himself a cosy bed

My garage is centrally heated and warmer than our old farmhouse.

not in my garage, mice would eat the bag within days.

Locker at the club, cupboard under the stairs or in my study .... or all 3

Under the stairs for me next to the bureau so that when the family go out I can clean them or hit the odd putt or chip.
Our garage is great for bikes and summer furniture, not my sticks

My main set is stored in the locker at the club. My second set and spare clubs are stored in the garage and I do notice pitting on the chrome shaft of any clubs stored in the garage. I have tried to explain this to HID but not getting much sympathy really.

As for the shafts getting cold and snapping when you hit them. Really? Maybe if you dipped them in liquid nitrogen but not at freezing temperatures. If you're worried make sure you give your shaft a damned good rub before use
