Golf Towels
- February 10, 2008
The golf towel is as important a piece of equipment as each club in your bag. If you don’t have at least three golf towels in your arsenal, you don’t have enough towels.
The towel that most people already have is the club towel. Usually, this towel is hung from a hook or ring attached to the bag. It is rather small, and is used as a stationary cleaning station along with the club brush.
You should have, at the very least, one more towel with you at all times on the golf course. This towel should be a small beach towel or a large hand towel. It is vital that, at all times, one end of this towel is soaked with water. The wet end of the towel should be used to clean off your golf ball when you get to the green. The dry end of the towel is used to dry off your ball before you return it to the putting surface. This is the towel that follows you every time you walk onto the putting surface. You may go through a few of these towels as you are getting used to picking it up every time you finish a hole, so don’t get emotionally attached to it.
The third towel you should have is a sweat towel. This towel isn’t needed unless it is hot enough so that you would be sweating. If it is, however, this towel is vital because you will use it to keep your hands dry and clean at the same time. Using your club towel for your hands will transfer the dirt from the towel to your hands, and this makes your hands extremely slippery. This towel can also be used to keep the sweat off your neck, face, and most importantly, out of your eyes. Beach towels work nicely as sweat towels.
Any serious golfer will need a similar towel for rainy days. This towel can be called the dry towel, for self-explanatory reasons. This towel gets draped through the rods in your golf umbrella, and stays there at all times.
Remember, it is also important to clean your towels frequently. Even touching your club towel if has been used several times without being washed will impair your ability to sufficiently grip the golf club.
