Wet towel in the cart?

[jrode]

I played 27 holes yesterday and we had a cart. This was the first course I've played at that gave you a wet towel in the cart to wipe down your clubs with after each shot. It was the first time I've seen it and I thought it was awesome. I mean, I'd rather use their towel to wipe down my clubs than to use the $15 towel I ordered online and have that get all crapped up with mud and dirt.

Is this common for a lot of courses?

No, no its not. But Im definitely going to put a word in at the CC to see about this awesome improvement!

Thanks for the tip jrode

Many of the courses around here mount a club and ball washer right on the cart. I bring a separate towel to drive stuff off.

I too have seen that at many places I have played. I have never seen a course provide a wet towel, ever, and honestly that's the first time I've ever heard of it.

When I was on holiday in Myrtle Beach last April, all of the courses put at least 2 towels / player in the carts; that was nice too.

My club has a stack of towels and a bucket of water where it's handy. Not only nice for keeping clubs clean, but much easier to clean the ball after marking on the green.

During the hot summer months, some of the upscale courses in Arizona bring around fresh towels soaked in ice water. These are not for your clubs but to put on your head to cool you down. Refreshing!

I believe they did that for us at the Biltmore back in the late 90s (I used to take golfing vacations to Scottsdale - - - always in July and August, when rates were waaaaay daown!). I had forgotten about that.

Every cart at our club has two nice towels in the cubbie holes plus a club/ball washer on the back side of the cart with two more towels affixed to the back so that as you get back to the cart, you can dip your club in the washer and towel it off and throw it in.

No towels is a pet peeve of mine and most clubs don't have anything. It'd probably cost $500 one time to buy enough cheap towels to throw in the carts and they'd last for years. If it's not rain, it's the mud or the sand or the dew or sweat, just throw a towel in there.
