Hey, I'm looking at getting a new towel b/c I feel my current one isn't large enough. I wanted to know what size towel most of you guys use. Thanks.

haha I did the same thing.  I don't use a "golf towel" just any hotel towel will do.  I just poke a hole in it to hang on my bag.

With spring approaching (not soon enough), go check out the demo days many club companies put on. Towels are usually one of the giveaways. I scored 2 free ones last spring and you just can't beat free!

I just use a white bath towel from my house. It's probably about 30x15", I find it to be a good size and I can use it without washing for about 3 rounds.

Are microfiber towels worth the extra cash? There are reviews that are very positive buuuuuut I don't know... I'm liking the Holiday Inn method I'm reading. Haha

Opinions?

I use a medium-size bath towel. You can get them for about $3 during department store linen sales. Get one in a color that matches your bag - the color won't show stains as much after washing as a white towel. Or, you can use a midsize bath towel that's too worn for normal use - the ladies would say it "looks bad on the towel rack" and spoils the WC decor.

(It will take some convincing that the $19 microfiber towel will outperform my $3 towel).

If it's hot and damp during the summer, I'll add a small hand towel (for clubs and ball) and use the bath towel for my hands.

I like to use a fairly large one as I like to wet one end because I don't wear a glove and it helps to get the oils and such off when sweating in the heat.  I prefer to use the bath towels myself, only because I don't find the "golf" towels that name brand companies put out big enough and usually too expensive.

When it comes to cleaning golf clubs, I don't think the microfiber helps all that much. The main purpose is to wipe off drit and water, something any towel will be able to. Mine are as large as possible without getting in the way and going all the way down to the ground when attached to the bag.

+1 on this for me.  Buy decent bath towels on the cheap, keep one end wet and you're good to go.

Also +1 on a separate towel for hands and face.

I use a towel that is at least 22x40 and have used medium bath towels too.  I wet 1/4 of it and drape it over my bag umbrella or the cart windshield.  The towel is so important to my game because I also do not wear a glove and will wipe down my grip before each shot.

I just read a review on one of the microfiber towels that are out there:

"Most towels do an OK job of managing these tasks, but is an OK job really good enough for you? If you demand quality in all aspects of the golf you play then you definitely should not be settling for some cotton bath towel to get the job done."

Unfortunately, I don't know if I'm comfortable with the quality of my game (or lack thereof) being overshadowed by the quality of my TOWEL. haha

Maybe there will be a towel fitting at my local golf shop soon to get the most technically advanced towel to enhance my performance off the tee and around the greens.

When I bought my R11 I picked up the matching towel for my bag.  I was very surprised because my previous R9 towel was IMO on the very smallish size, but when I unfolded the R11 towel it was double the size.  Here is a pic of how big it is.

I carry 2 towels at all time.  One is about the same size as this R11 towel, and used to clean clubs after every shot.  The second is about 1/2 this size and goes with me to every green.  I use it to keep my golf balls clean before putting and in the summer is my sweat towel.

    • 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?
