How to Restore Antique Golf Equipment

The most collected items today are still the antique golf clubs. They have an old charm that many collectors desire that tell a story of the past. If you find an antique set and they look worn, they can be restored so you can preserve them for a long time.

Materials Needed

• Bucket


• Water


• Mild liquid dish soap


• Cloths


• Fine grit sandpaper


• Wax

1. Inspect the golf club to make sure they can be restored, especially if you purchasing them from a garage sale or any other sales. Most of the clubs found will be corroded, rusted or have broken handles. Sort through them and take out the best ones. Most of the golf clubs that have shafts make of hickory wood are ideal for restoration.


2. Fill a bucket with water and mild liquid dish soap. Use a clean cloth and the cleaning solution to thoroughly clean each golf club. Rinse the clubs with clean water and dry them with a dry cloth. This will allow you to inspect the clubs further.


3. Use fine grit sandpaper to sand the areas on the golf club that have rust or corrosion. You will only need to light pressure when sanding the clubs so the patina is not damaged.


4. Open a can of wax. Use a clean cloth to apply the wax over each golf club. Buff and polish all of the clubs with the wax. Take another cloth and wipe the clubs again.


5. Look over the golf clubs one last time to look for parts that can be replaced. Look for areas that have bad deterioration. Purchase the parts that can be replaced and put them on the golf clubs.
