I can see this will happen with every towel unless they get a better strap on the towel. got mine a few weeks ago and i have been using it every round. only issue i have is the strap that holds the ring to clip to golf bag. if you have one its only .5 inch wide and when you wet your towel it gets a bit heavy. eventually the strap is not strong enoughe to hold the towel and it will start ripping.

My bank is VERY stringent with debit card use- they have several anti-fraud protective measures they use. Basically, if the vendor does not enter in my complete information, including my zip code, the bank will "deny" the charge, in an attempt to avoid fraud cases(IMHO, it's a great policy, I have known people whose cards have been "copied" and they experienced nothing but heartache.) I have had issues with other purchases, but the vendors have been nothing but helpful. I ordered the golfbrush through their website, but had not received it a week later. I called up the customer service line, and spoke with a VERY pissy guy with some sort of accent, who informed me that me card had been declined. I explained the situation, and he said he ran it through again and now there was no problem, my order should ship that day. After still not receiving the brush after another two weeks, I called again, same guy, same attitude. I reminded him of my issue, that my card needs to be "manually authorized" with my bank, and he gave me such a hard time that I cancelled the order. In the end, although I almost did not get the brush out of spite, I really wanted it, so I ordered it through The Golf Warehouse, with NO issues.

I ordered another one and got the towel. The towel seam has pulled apart after two washings and now is virtually unusable. I have called Frogger only to get the run around. I have e-mailed them, but am still waiting for a response. Looks like I should have just stuck with my 22x44 white tour towel $5 each. It would be so frustrating if you could talk to a real individual. Products are way too pricy to have no customer service!

What a hassle, an automated voice takes through the process. I order 4 towels 1 for myself and 3 for golfing buddys. The total order was 105.70 plus 6.07 per towel for FREE shipping. Never did it ask what color towels I wanted. So I had to call a different number to get customer service, "We have to wait to process the order to do that." So I wait, and wait.....3 days THE 11 of December, now they can't tell me if I will get the colors I want. Since my order I have invested in "TYLENOL STOCK." Hope these towels come preloaded with water to cool off the steam coming out of my ears. I ordered 4 of these towels for Christmas gifts on the 8 of December by calling their toll free number.

I tried to order the towel combo the other day. They offered "free" priority shipping, but when I got to the shipping page, the only thing free was "priority handling". The shipping was still 7.57. I just got a golf club priority shipped to me for 5.99, so I have trouble paying more than that for what their website says is free. I sent them an email asking how to get their "free shipping" and was asked to call in for it. I called and the operator would not honor the free shipping either. She also offered the free "priority handling" though. :roll: Since my original attempt to order, they've updated their website, so I know it's not a simple "mistake". It's pretty clear that this is a sanctioned bait and switch tactic to get an extra couple of dollars in shipping. It's pretty disappointing. :sad: These guys may have a cool product, but IMHO it's a dishonest scammer company.

To be honest I loved the idea, but the price was a bit much for a towel! Anyways a few weeks later I went ahead and bought it off their website and since they had a special going on I got a 2nd for free! At first glance after receiving it, it seemed like a really nice and good quality towel. It really does hold water very well and stands up to what they advertise. I like the look and the fact that I can get the clubs wet enough to scrape all the crap out of the grooves with a brush and then Dry the club off after cleaning it all on the course. I am very happy with this towel and an quite surprised it's not more popular, but I'll never golf without it again.
