To attach or not to attach

[Matt P]

So how does everyone roll with their towel?

Do you attach it to your bag, or not? Reasons?

i have a small 12"x12" towel attached to my bag, and i also carry a larger towel in the cart. i generally use the smaller towel to wipe my clubs with and the larger towel to wipe sweat with. I'm in Florida and it gets ungodly hot here in the summer....

[Big_M]

when I walk it stays on the bag... when I ride I might keep one on the bag and one that I will walk out to my ball with and generally keep in and around the cart, myself, and what have you.

I have a Titleist Players towell (for clubs/shoes), a Memorial towell (for balls) and even carry one of those Ball-Zees.

I attach my towel to my bag.

I've got two towels clipped to the bag. One is very easy to unclip, so I use it when I want to do something away from the bag -- clean a ball on the green, use as a chipping target, or scrub my clubs clean. The other is used when I just need to wipe something off a club as I put it back in the bag.

One clipped to the bag I use for clubs, and one I take to the green for the ball which I stow in the front of the cart.

If I am riding a cart (Texas in August). I have towel clipped to bag, and 1-2 towels in cart. Towel clipped to bag is moisted at bottom half to clean clubs. Towels in cart are dry to wipe sweat/dry glove/etc.

I carry 2 towels, both of which are clipped to my bag at the beginning of the round. If I'm walking they both stay there. If I'm riding the second towel (which has a waterproof lining) is unclipped and I carry it in cart. When I go to my ball and need more than one club (which I almost always do because I hate getting to ball and realizing I have wrong club) I take that towel to lay the extra clubs on (to keep moisture and dirt off the grips). I almost never use that towel for cleaning - just for laying my clubs on. The one on my bag is what I use to clean my clubs.

One towel, half of it is wet, half dry. Clipped to the bag with a spring carabiner. I rarely take it off except to re-wet it. I don't take it to the green, a little grass stain on the ball doesn't bother me when I'm putting. I clean the ball after the hole unless the cart is close enough for me to walk on over to it. I wipe my clubs after each shot, and that is where I want the towel to be.

[Spackler-esque]

Two towels clipped on my bag. One has a damp edge for club heads, the other's for grips. When I actually look down as opposed to just doing it out of habit, at least...

A couple of my fingers shred like crazy no matter what, so I use 1/2" athletic tape to wrap them up. That tape (though it makes me clean my grips more frequently) is wonderful for doing a quick clean of my ball on the greens. And it's convenient, unlike carrying another towel around with me that I will undoubtedly lose because, well, I'm like that.

I keep one clipped to my carry bag, but am considering adding a second smaller one clipped to my belt or something. In the wet winter conditions here a practice swing can still pick up some mud or grass, and it would be nice to have something to wipe it off without totally breaking my stance.

Who needs a towel when you have a pair of pants?

[bogeyhitter25]

I used to, but both of mine are just to long, and they'll get wet/dirty throughout the round and won't clean off my clubs.

[flopdarock]

i have 2 towels... 1 clipped on my bag(dry) next to my club brush... one wet in the cart for any occasion... sometimes ill even put the wet one in a zip lock baggy to keep it moist

[meenman]

I keep 3 towels - 2 attached to by bag (one to clean my clubs, the other to dry my face when its hot out)

The 3rd I leave in the front of the cart and use it only on the green.
