    How old are the shafts and are you sure they are steel???
    to prevent this you can make sure you keep them dry at all times, especially after your round. If you store your clubs in your trunk of a car, then you should remove them and keep them indoors.
    The aluminum foil is a good trick actually, but it wont prevent rust, it just takes off most of it.
    But if they have already started to rust, the integrity of the shaft is compromised and they are weakened dramatically. I would suggest new clubs or shafts before one breaks in your hand.

    keeping them in a damp room, outside, or anywere that water can touch it.
    when you get your next set make sure you dry them after youve used them, and keep them in a proper golfing bag
    hope this helps!!

    Water. And salt.
    Clean them after use and store them dry. If you’re worried, run an oiled rag over them every once in a while.

    Alum. foil will take the rust off and make them look like new. just crinkle foil in a ball and rub. Rust comes off.
