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?

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.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
