Cleaning your Golf balls before putting?!

[domc36]

How do you fellas handle this issue? I absolutely hate putting with a dirty ball. I tried the saliva technique and it really fails to get all of the dirt off the ball. You guys have any tips/tricks to making your balls squeaky clean (hehe) before putting??

Take a towel with you to the green.

I have one of those little pouches that you pour water in before your round. I carry it in my back pocket, and pull it out once I've marked my ball on the green. Stuff the ball in the pouch, roll it around a couple of times, and presto, it pops out clean as a whistle.

All the golf stores carry them.

Just park the bag beside the green have a small towel that you wet before going out to clean the ball. I do that and also have an ordinary towel for cleaning my clubs.

go to walmart or somewhere cheap and by a $2-5 dollar hand towel in whatever color you prefer...get it wet prior to the round...do as instructed above. presto.

I agree with the wet towel.  I buy the micro fiber ones at Costco as they hold more water and stay wet the entire round, even in the Summer.

Towel and water...or towel and saliva... :)

Frogger has a mini version of their great amphibian towel just for this purpose. They sell the regular towel and ball towel together in a package.

I just park my push cart near the green, mark my ball, clean it real quick then line it up (I don't have the mini towel just the regular size towel).

I always have a medium sized towel with 1/4 of it wet. It is great for wiping down grips, clubfaces, and for even cleaning my balls.

I often forget my towel, I suppose that you could wet the corner of your shirt or shorts and you would always have it with you. Maybe I should patent a golf shirt with a rag attached somewhere...

I just pop it in my mouth, yummy! Yeah, towel. If it's not clean enough after that, you have OCD and should seek help

The is the absolute one time when having sweaty hands comes in....handy.

I carry a clean ball (the same make of course) in my back pocket and use it for putting. I use the other one for anything else.

Isn't that against the rules? I suppose its a fairly good idea in a casual round though.

Same for me, I use the Frogger version, it has a carabiner that I attach to a belt loop and dont have a wet pouch in my back pocket.

IDK probably, but whenever I play it's with my dad or friends. I'm not into competitive play yet.

I used to use these, they're about $6 for 2 at most golf shops. Works pretty good.

The other day I bought a Frogger Amphibian Towel and it came with a smaller one for balls. I love it!
