The Tool Every Range Rat Should Have

Range Rat
/rānj/ /rat/
A range rat is a golfer who spends hours at the range focusing on the details within the details — endlessly searching for that feeling that keeps them coming back.

If this is you, the tool I’m about to show you should be an easy acquisition. The biggest issue with hitting golf balls on an actual grass range is the dirt and grass that gets stuck in your grooves after every swing.

There are plenty of ways to clean your clubs but I usually resort to slamming my club on the ground a couple of times and giving the grooves a couple of strokes with the bottom of my shoe.

Range Brush is determined to give all of you sick and twisted Range Rats a better experience.

How to use

The Range Brush is extremely user friendly. There’s only a handful of steps.

Step 1: Bring the spikes on the bottom of the Range Brush into an upright position.

• Once you’ve brought the spikes to their upright position, you simply push the spikes of the Range Brush into the ground. If you’ve ever pitched a tent, the spikes work similarly and this step one should only take 5-10 seconds.

Step 2: Hit a shot or two.

• Go about your normal routine and hit some shots. You may need to clean your club after every shot, but at least every 2-3.

Step 3: Clean your club.

• Once again, this should be pretty simple. Keep your club upright, and simply move it around. The bristles of the Range Brush will do most of the work and you’ll end up with a clean club face.

• For stubborn (and extremely dirty) club-faces, don’t be afraid to trickle some water down the bristles of the Range Brush or directly onto the club-face before scrubbing.

Step 4: Rinse and repeat.

• Repeat for the duration of your range session.

Step 5: Clean your Range Brush and stow away for your next range session.

• Cleaning the Range Brush is simple enough. Scrub the bristles to remove excess dirt, make sure the spikes are free from mud, and put it away until your next training block.

Final thoughts

For $35, you end up with a tool that will help save you time on the range.

There’s nothing that I hate more than utilizing a tool that takes either (a) a long time to set up, or (b) a long time to clean afterward. The Range Brush avoids both of those scenarios, providing a seamless experience from start to finish.

If you don’t hit the range very often, I’d opt for a tool that is a bit more accessible during your round. The Range Brush can be utilized for on-course play, but it’s definitely built for those that are grinding it out on the range. Hence the name- Range Brush.

If you’re a self proclaimed range rat (or striving to become one), the Range Brush is a toy you won’t regret adding to your tool belt.
