Ultrasonic Cleaning of Golf Clubs

[jeffndean]

Hi Everyone,

Have come across a new machine in my driving range called an ultrasonic golf club cleaner.
It is supposed to clean the clubs using only water and ultrasonic waves in 4 minutes... I did not try.

Has anyone else come across there machines?
Do you think this is a good method for cleaning clubs? It's got to be better than scrubbing them?

I have time at home to clean clubs and clean them after each shot so am unlikely to need this facility

I had them done by one of these at Bearwood after the game. Reasonably impressed. I'd use it if it was part of the day - as per Bearwood - but I don't think I'd part with hard cash for it separately.

Not sure I believe you... But you made me laugh!

What's wrong with a bucket of lukewarm water and a washing up nylon brush? it takes about the same time and costs nowt.

Call me a cynic but a name like "clean"shot and an opening post about getting clubs cleaned. A connection per chance. I've seen these thins in operation (Downshire drivining range has one) and they do seem to do a reasonable job but I prefer to do my own (personal pride and all that) and a bowl of lukewarm water and a towel is a lot cheaper and easier than carting them to a range after a round

Cleaning clubs is part and parcel of enjoying the game. I get a buzz from getting all the muck off them and making them all shiny again.

Homer, should that not read: -

Homer. You're a cynic



And so am I.

No way I'd pay to have my clubs cleaned when I can do it myself in around 10 minutes with a bit of good old soap and water.

Lol, can't quite believe this.

I would always rather pay somebody to clean stuff for me, golf clubs, car, clothes, house etc... x

I had mine done the other day at our club to be honest yes they were clean was it worth it, well for the money no.

Cleaning your clubs after a game to me is still a part of the game.

So do I!
Some nice warm soapy water and a small brush together with a wooden tee with a nice sharp point to get all the mud out of the grooves.
I also like getting the mud out of the numbers on the bottom too.
Number 8 is the bestest fun

i use one of theese in the laboratory at work to take the aeration out of samples before i test them. I was working nights last night and took my clubs in to clean. It is an awesome way to clean them but i normally put them all in and leave them for about an hour or so i wouldnt have thought 4 minutes is anywhere near long enough.

Had one on the way back to the car park at Kosaido International, Germany. Was free of charge and used it after each round.

Nice clean clubs in half the time and 90% less effort!

I did not try.

? w.t.h. ?

Your username is the same as the company that sells these things. Co-incidence?

f.w.i.w. I wouldn't bother with such a machine. No.

 

[jeffndean]

Have not tried... Doing research.

Wanted an honest opinion from the people that matter - golfers!

I personally would love to try the machine but do not want to spend the money buying one on a whim (should have tried the one at the range - but it was busy).

I saw one in a driving range and contacted the number on the side - turned out to be a franchise which anyone can buy into.

I have been working on a website (but i'ts 90% empty) just in case I decide to go ahead.

Would still welcome honest comments.

This is not an advertisement. Just wanted to get a feel for the attitudes on cleaning clubs.

I can definatley see the appeal of cleaning your own clubs - I do like to be responsible for them and feel I've acheived something when I'm done...... But I do sometimes leave them dirty - and then make the bag and car boot dirty!
