Golf Ball Washersby Golf Ball Washer Golf was forever changed in 1934 by a brilliant man named Brandon Conley. Noticing the inconvenience of constantly having to scrub his ball manually following each hole or each time his ball became dirty, he devised a device that would take the 'dirty' work out of his hands. Golf ball washers are extremely convenient and commonplace today, being found at every golf course - and mostly at every tee box. Their popularity has spread so far, that many golf carts now include golf ball washers in addition to club washers on each cart! But golf ball washers provide far more than just cosmetic shine. Because they enable the golfer to keep their ball spic and span at each hole - if not every shot - they also keep your ball flying smoothly. Due to the fact that dirt and grass can affect the aerodynamics and air resistance of a golf ball, removing it before your shot will make all the difference in optimizing the attributes of your specific golf ball. A typical golf ball washer uses bristles and a detergent to scrub the grime off the ball. Most manual golf ball washers use a cylindrical mechanism or an up/down mechanism to clean the ball. You place the ball into the appropriate hole, then operate the washer up/down for 20-30 seconds. After removing the ball from the washer, you simply dry it off and youre ready to play! Golf ball washers have made an everlasting impact on the sport of golf, and will continue to do so in the future. By keeping your ball clean, youll not only make yourself look more professional while playing ... but youll also play better allowing the ball to do its job uninhibited by dirt/grime. I hope that you found this article beneficial and now have a better understanding regarding the history, purpose, and operation of a golf ball washer.
