Bobby's golden rules for garment longevity

The 60-Second Care Guide

Treat your gear like your wedges—small habits, big payoff. Follow these quick rules to keep collars crisp, colors rich, and performance features firing round after round.

Wash Cold

Always 30°C or below

Inside Out

Protect prints & colors

No Bleach

Ever. Period.

Air Dry

When possible

Low Heat Iron

If needed, reverse side only

Hang Properly

Maintain shape

Because not all golf apparel is created equal

Specific Care for Specific Gear

First Wash:
"Wash separately or with similar colors before first wear. This sets the fabric and ensures optimal performance."

Regular Washing:

  • Turn inside out to protect prints
  • Machine wash cold (30°C max)
  • Use mild, non-biological detergent
  • Gentle or delicate cycle
  • No fabric softener (affects moisture-wicking)

Drying:

  • Shake out immediately after washing
  • Hang dry on wide hangers
  • If machine drying: low heat, remove while slightly damp
  • Never wring out

Ironing & Storage:

  • Iron on low heat, inside out
  • Use steam for stubborn wrinkles
  • Hang in closet with space between garments
  • Cedar balls recommended for freshness

Pro Tip from Bobby:
"That post-round polo doesn't always need a full wash. Air it out overnight and spot-clean if needed. I get 3-4 rounds from mine before washing."

Because hazards aren't just on the course
