Far from a decorative touch or extraneous piece of gear, a golf towel may be one of the most crucial pieces of equipment you carry on the links. But what is a golf towel for?
There are so many reasons to carry a golf bag towel; let’s just say it can be a game changer in more ways than one.
Clean Clubs Mean More Accurate Shots
Dirty golf clubs don’t just look unimpressive — they lack the accuracy of a finely shined iron. Wipe down your clubs after every round to maintain accuracy, improve your score, and impress your friends.
Up Your Game When You Can Clean Golf Balls With Ease
When you hit your golf ball into temporary water, a mud puddle, or even a water hazard, you may be permitted to clean it. Without getting too deep into the rules, you can clean a ball on the green, if it comes in contact with temporary water (water that is not part of the usual course), or if you’re taking an unplayable lie. Otherwise, you’re out of luck and must play the ball where it lies.
But if you don’t have a golf towel, what can you do? Wipe it on your pants? Spit on the ball? Neither are recommended — especially if you’re golfing with business colleagues or trying to land that big account. Grab your handy golf towel and turns “ewws” to “ahhs.”
A Friend in Need … Is a Friend Without a Golf Bag Towel
While we’re on the subject, what about when that top prospect hits a water hazard? Once again, grab that golf towel — ideally adorned with your company logo — and offer it to them.
On the links, a golf towel is as valuable as a USB charger is nearly anywhere else. Savvy business people carry cables for iPhones and Androids, plus a wall-charger or external charger, to help colleagues in a pinch. Do the same with a golf bag towel and become known as the hero on the green.
Keep Your Cool With Your Golf Towel
If mid-day heat takes you by surprise, drape the towel over your head to block the sun. Or drench it with water and wear it around your neck to keep cool.
You can also use your golf towel to wipe the sweat from your brow before shooting out of that particularly challenging hazard.
Give the Gift of a Golf Towel
Golf towels make great gifts for Father’s Day, Christmas, graduation, or any time. The right golf towel can be a conversation-starter on the green when you personalize it with a photo, special moment, or a clever saying.
Are you looking for unique groomsmen gifts? If you and your best friends love golf, golf towel is the way to go! Pair the perfect golf towel with other personalized golf accessories, such as golf head covers, golf gloves, tees, and ball markers to create a fantastic gift basket for the golf lover in your life.
Promote Your Business With Personalized Golf Bag Towels
If you’re a C-suite executive or own a business, we hope you’re carrying a golf towel customized with your company logo. Draped over your golf bag, a golf towel is the best free brand recognition you’ll find anywhere.
But why not level up your promotional efforts with a gift your customers, employees, and prospects will love? Give corporate golf bag towels as holiday or anniversary gifts, or just to celebrate a big win in your company. Send one to a top prospect to thank them for their time after a big meeting. And, of course, give one to all your golf buddies when you meet on the links.
Golf bag towels are a useful gift for any golfer, with the added bonus of keeping your business top of mind. If you’re ahead of the game and everyone you know already has a customized golf towel with your company logo — congratulations! You’re doing it right. Consider customized golf balls as the ultimate corporate gift, instead.
Douglas Adams Was Right
In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams touts the benefits of always knowing where your towel is, writing, “a towel has great practical value.”
This is true in life — and on the links. It makes us wonder if the beloved sci-fi author happened to be a golfer.
