When I’m finished hitting from the mats at the driving range, the club heads on my irons always have the fake green grass stuck/burned onto them – how do I get that off? Tried using one “golf club cleaning brush” to little avail…I am concerned about scratching the club head itself if I use anything sharp (maybe I shouldn’t be?) – any thoughts???
get yourself a nail brush and use that, if you spray your clubs with cooking spray before going and just wipe it off the stuff doesnt stick to your heads
I’ve always had good luck using warm water & the metal side of the “golf club cleaning brush”. It might take awhile to remove, but it will eventually come off. I’ve never scratched the club head using the brush.
I haven’t hit from the mats for a couple of years though. When I go to my local driving range, I go to the area with real grass. Dirt & grass is much easier to clean off your clubs and you’re hitting off the same surface as if you were on the course.
I’ve found that it is pretty flaky. So I can just take it off with my finger and it comes off easily and in very few pieces.
i use steel wool… (no scratching)
All you need is to rub the club against the mat in another direction and all the green stuffs will come off. Some mats deposit a thick hard layer at the bottom of the club head. I normally just nip them off with my finger nails or wet my club and rub it on another mat to get those things off.
Not a direct answer to the question but DON’T go to places where you have to hit off mats in the first place. You get too much bounce from the mats and its not truly indicative of hitting off grass. I and others around me have hit great shots off mats only to go on the course and chunk a few.
Try using a stiff metal brush
