Stupid question of the day

[cruzthepug]

I just got a new Taylormade bag and I cannot figure out what this plastic ring is for. At first I thought it might be for an umbrella, but there is a velcro strap next to it for the umbrella.

I give up, anyone?

Seems to me it's for your towel.

Yup.  Else, it's piss poorly-designed cupholder.

I thought that as well, but with the towel hooked to that ring really makes the towel hang low. I have my towel attached to the small "D" ring just to the left.

It appears to me that it is just there for conveinence to attach things to the bag.  Towel, club brush, bag watch, rangefinder/gps, etc.  If you go into a golf store there are probably dozens of things that come with a clip so you can attach them to the bag.  Most bags I have ever seen include something like this to give you a place to attach these things.  It's just there for your conveinence.

Towel ring. If the towel hangs too low, buy a shorter towel or double it up.

Probably for a short towel and club brush like the Frogger.

bag tag holder???  is it small enough for a ball???  could it be a ball liner??? where you draw the sharpie around the equator?  It has a specific tab at the bottom right..and look at how it bevels on the inside

Maybe If you pull it, the bag makes funny sounds kind of like a Tickle Me Elmo

[MackJL06]

i think it actually symbolizes the gender of the bag. this one is a male

It's for your towel.  But you don't clip the towel to it.  You run the towel through it.  The "tab" there in the 4 o'clock position helps you stabilize the ring while you're pulling the towel through the ring.

My Taylormade bag has the same ring.. I use it for a towel....

that "d" ring is maybe for your rain cover? does your rain cover have little velcro straps on it?

This.  And don't worry... it's not that dumb of question... it's not like you're asking if we think if you have the ability to play on tour...
