I use one of the kind of waffle-weave microfiber towels, it works fine for me, and I think they're available at most golf stores.

I had one of these but it disappeared after last year which is why I started looking into a more useful towel.

With intentions to post a funny comment here, I googled "golf towel pants" hoping to find a picture of pants made from a golf towel, etc.. As usual, the Internet (and the golf industry) did not disappoint. A product along those lines already exists and it sounds like a game changer per the marketing video - maybe even capable of cleaning the "suck" off of a set of Pings (reference to an adjacent thread)...

When I began as a caddie, yo these many years ago, I was told to always carry a full-sized bath towel, keeping one half wet and the other dry.  It worked perfectly then, and still does today.

It worries me a bit when we've gotten to the point that we need a specialty item to wipe dirt off something....

I'm with you. I wipe my club off after every shot with a regular towel, I don't get wet, and my clubs are clean. I swear some people have more dollars than sense! Especially when pros wipe their clubs on their pants cuffs just before hitting the shot!

That is a remarkably dramatic video for such a goofy product.  If you want a towel dangling off your pants, just get a towel with a gromet and carabiner and hook it to a belt loop.

I have three golf towels: one was from a charity tournament, one was a birthday gift, and one I bought from a course I like.

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
