How a golf towel attaches to your bag
A golf towel earns its place on the bag by staying there. Every towel in this collection is built to hang from the bag rather than sit loose in a pocket, so it moves with you from tee to green and is within reach the moment a clubface picks up mud or a ball comes out of a wet bunker. The practical mechanics matter more than anything else here: a towel that keeps sliding off, or that you have to dig for, ends up unused.
Most golfers clip the towel to a D-ring, carry loop, or the bag strap using a carabiner or the towel's own hanging loop. Hang it where you can grab it one-handed while the other hand still holds a club, and keep it on the side you walk up to the bag from, not tucked behind the clubs. That single habit is the difference between wiping a groove clean before the next shot and letting dried dirt sit in it all round.
Why some golf towels have a hole in the middle
If you have seen a golf towel with a hole or a clip set into the centre and wondered why, the answer is purely functional. A centre hole lets the towel hang folded over a rail or ring so both ends fall free, which keeps a clean side and a dirty side within easy reach and stops the whole towel from dragging on the ground. It is a design choice aimed at keeping the towel usable and off the grass, not a decorative one.
The towels in this collection use a hanging loop rather than a centre grommet, which does the same job of keeping the towel secured to the bag and off the turf. Either approach solves the same problem: the towel has to stay attached and stay clean enough to actually wipe something down.
What you actually use a golf towel for
A golf towel does more than dry your hands. Over eighteen holes it clears grass and dirt out of the grooves on your irons and wedges, which is where clean contact and spin come from. It wipes mud off a ball on the green before you putt, dries a grip before a shot when the weather turns, and cleans the sole of a wedge after a soft lie. Grooves packed with dirt lose bite, so a quick wipe between shots is one of the cheapest ways to protect the contact you have already paid for in your clubs.
That range of tasks is why keeping the towel on the bag matters so much. The jobs are small and constant, and a towel that lives in a pocket gets used a fraction as often as one hanging in plain sight. If you are still building out the rest of your carry, the wider accessories and hardware ranges cover the smaller pieces that round out a bag.
The two designs in this collection
There are two towel styles here, each offered in dark green, dark red, and blue. The LCLRL Towel - Dark Green and its Dark Red and Blue versions carry the full LCLRL wordmark. The Iron Logo Towel - Dark Green, together with the Dark Red and Blue versions, carries the iron logo mark instead.
The choice between them is one of look rather than function, and the three colours let you match the towel to the rest of your setup rather than settling for whatever came with a starter kit. If you want the towel to tie in with your on-course look, the headwear and caps ranges share the same colour language.
Keeping the towel clean through the season
A golf towel only works if it stays absorbent, and a towel caked in dried mud just smears dirt back onto the clubface. Machine washing keeps the fibres open and the towel doing its job, so treat it like any piece of kit that needs upkeep across the season rather than something you use once and forget. A towel that gets washed regularly lasts several seasons; one left crusted in a bag pocket over winter rarely does.
Hanging it to dry after a wet round matters too, both to stop it going stale and to keep it ready for the next tee time. For more on building out the rest of the bag around it, the golf equipment guide walks through the pieces worth carrying and why.
