club refurbishment

Dublin Spur

my irons are looking a bit tired, a few spots of rust and general ware and tear damage. But they are only 3 years old and I like them.

So I was thinking about giving them a make-over rather than replacing them.

Are there are any places that specialise in club refurbishment in Ireland, there seems to be plenty in the UK but I don't fancy sending them away.

Thought about it a couple of times myself, but haven't come across a person who does it, other than a couple of guys doing DIY jobs (with very mixed results).

What always put me off was the grooves. There's various tools available to "regroove" clubs, but (rightly or wrongly) I always think they're going to give me overly-sharp, ball-shredding grooves.

And then the money. If your 3 year old clubs are worth 50% of the cost of a new set, and a good refurb job might be 20%, it probably does make more sense to spend the extra 30% on a brand new set. Or just put up with the blemishes.

backspin.

Could you get a few grades of sandpaper and refurb them yourself. I sanded a wedge of mine and it came out quite well. Not sure if its legal though or even a good idea but the club looks good now. I sanded the dings out of it.

Wet a bit of tinfoil to remove small spots of rust, try it on a small area first. Just a light rub will remove the rust
