Golf towels for the bag

An essential accessory

The towel is an essential accessory for golfers. It is used to clean the club faces, whose grooves get filled with dirt and grass with each shot: clean grooves give more spin and control to the ball, especially with wedges. It also wipes the ball on the green before putting, the grips, and hands in the rain or extreme heat, to maintain a good grip.

Tri-fold

The tri-fold towel, or folded into three, like the Callaway and Srixon, is the preferred format for golfers: folded lengthwise, it attaches to the bag with a carabiner in the centre, and offers two accessible sides, one that can be dampened to clean the clubs, the other kept dry for hands and grips. Smaller towels, like the Callaway Microfiber, fit into a pocket of the bag.

Cotton or microfiber

The cotton towel, thick and absorbent, like the Callaway Tour or TaylorMade, effectively cleans the grooves. The microfiber towel, finer and lighter, dries faster and traps dust. The Galvin Green towels, from the Swedish golf brand, XXIO, from the Japanese brand, and Nike complete the range. One should wash their towel regularly, without fabric softener, as it reduces its absorbency.

What is the benefit of a tri-fold golf towel?

The tri-fold format, like the Callaway Tri-fold, attaches to the bag with a carabiner in the centre and hangs in three layers. It offers a larger and thicker surface than a simple towel.

How to attach your towel to the golf bag?

Attach it with its carabiner or eyelet to a handle of the bag, on the side where you pull out your clubs, to have it handy. Some players keep one half damp for cleaning and one half dry for the grips.

How to wash a golf towel?

Machine wash at forty degrees, without fabric softener, which reduces the absorbency of cotton and microfiber. Remove the carabiner beforehand or place it in a bag to protect the drum.
