Dirt and mud on golf balls can negatively affect their flight. That's why most golf courses have a few ball washers dotted around. However, there are often only a few washers available, which can be a bit of a pain.
Here are some quick and easy ways to clean golf balls on the course and at home (without having to rely on an on-course ball washer).
Here's another easy way to clean your golf balls: simply pop them in a bowl of warm, soapy water and gently scrub each ball with a toothbrush.
This may require a bit of persistence depending on how caked-on the dirt is, but it should give you a great result. We do not recommend leaving the balls in the water for more than 30 mins.
Yes, you can put golf balls in the dishwasher, but it's not really reccomended. This is especially true if you've bought personalised golf balls - there's a small chance that the print will come off in the wash.
If you are going to run your golf balls through the dishwasher, make sure you secure them in the cutlery rack or top drawer. Basically, you need to make sure that the balls aren't going to be bouncing around inside the machine while it's running.
You should also take extra precaution not to damage the balls by ensuring that the 'heated dry' setting on your dishwasher is turned off.
Of course, if your golf balls are truly beyond saving, you can always just buy some new ones!
