Ping Tri-Fold Towel
Three panels, one clean
One panel stays dry, one gets wet, one does the grooves. It sounds like a small thing until you have played a wet round behind someone wiping a club on their trousers.

Who it suits
Anyone who plays in weather, which in Scotland is everyone.

Three panels, and each has a job
- Cotton
- Carabiner clip
- Tri-fold

- 01Wet one panel at the first tee and keep the other two dry.
- 02Cotton, because microfibre pushes the mud around rather than lifting it.
- 03The clip is a carabiner, so it comes off without threading it through anything.
- 04Wash it cold. Fabric softener is what stops a towel absorbing anything.
From behind the counter
Clean grooves are worth more spin than any wedge on this wall. They are also free.
