I bought the most expensive towel I could find as it guaranteed 4 strokes off my round. It didn't work but I think I was using it the wrong way.

I use a free Srixon towel I got from buying a dozen of their balls. I also carry an old towel that I wet down before my rounds to clean my wedges and grips.

I use an old Christmas-themed towel that my wife didn't need anymore. I can't imagine paying $8 for a towel with a brand name on it.

An old bath towel.......for me, it has to be big enough so I can wet half and keep the other half dry. I've carried the same one for more than 15 years, and it gets washed once a year whether it needs it or not!

I like my Tiger Woods towel because I like how it looks. Don't know what would constitute best though... other than the color. I like dark colors because it doesn't show the dirt so much and I'm too lazy to wash it more than once a year.

I use a Cavs towel that they gave out at the games. Its not like I am gonna bring it to a game and use it unless they give another, so this way i get some use and the towel is sporty.

Yeah, cleaning clubs with a dirty towel sounds like a great idea...

I play almost exclusively at 5:30 - 6:00 am so I pretty much clean my clubs every time I swing them. The towel is mostly just to take the loose grass off the clubface. I also use iron covers so that should really upset you.

The pro at the club had a big demo last year and I got free towels from everyone but I mainly use the mizuno one because its the biggest. All of them are tour towels so I use them all really.

I got three tour size towels of different brands which I rotate on. The best one is a Titleist towel, it's really fuzzy and easy to use. Use the towel on almost every shot, so it's an important part of my gear.

I'd like to try that towel - do you have to yell something while wiping your club? Like Pow or ShamWow!

I borrowed my wifes brand new oversized Wilson Staff towel, but once I got to the course I couldn't bear to get it dirty. I used a cloth napkin from the clubhouse and my shirt.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
