How to Customize Golf Towels

A golf towel is a useful piece of equipment that every golfer should have hanging from his golf bag. Golf towels have many uses, including drying balls after they've been washed, wiping clubfaces and shafts to remove dirt and moisture and wiping your hands before taking a shot. Depending on your playing style, as well as the climate, you may even keep two golf towels on your bag. Customizing your towel makes it uniquely yours and can be done as simply or as elaborately as you'd like.

Instructions

    • 1

      Purchase a golf towel that matches the color and style of your golf bag. Golf towels come in a variety of shapes, sizes and thicknesses. They typically have a grommet and clasp on one end to affix to the towel loop on your bag.

    • 2

      Purchase a variety of badges and crests that you wish to use to for decorating your towel. These crests could include a specific manufacturer of a club or ball you use, the logo of your home course and awards you've received, as well as your last name. Remember that while there are a endless number of badges and crests that you can buy, you don't want to overdecorate your bag and make it look gaudy.

      Determine how your golf towel will hang off your bag. You want to be sure to mount the badges so that they'll be visible, rather than on the back side of the towel. Place the badges and crests onto the towel where you feel they would look best, then iron them into place with a hot iron.

      Reinforce the badges and crests, if needed, by sewing one line of thread around the perimeter of each.
