Uther Supply Golf Towels
As someone who gets a lot of free gear it is easy for me to say that you need to have this or that because I am not footing the bill. However, there are a handful of golf related accessories that cost less than a dozen golf balls (and last significantly longer, especially if you tend to land in a water hazard!). All of which I would argue are well worth considering. Among such items I would include, ball markers, headcovers and towels.
One thing you will find on nearly every golf bag is a towel. Even the laziest of golfers will find the need to clean their clubs during most rounds of golf, not to mention the use a golf towel gets during the rainy season. Fact is, golfers rely on a golf towel as much as any piece of equipment they own. So my question is why do golfers settle for average when exceptional only costs $30?
Personally, I have had the same golf towel for 5 year and I am not likely to change because I don’t think you can get much better than Club Glove. With that said, there are a couple of other brands out there that are utilizing a very similar material as Club Glove but with far better design options. Therefore, if you want the performance of a Club Glove Towel but a wider selections of prints, then I would highly recommend Uther Supply (pronounced Other).
Uther Supply has been making high quality golf towels since 2016 and offers about 30 different patterns in both Tour and Cart sizes. For those of you not familiar with those terms, the Tour Towel is much larger (20 x 40 inches) and is meant to be draped over or tied to your bag. Caddies would typically carry this up to the green. In my case, I push it through the towel loop on my bag. Cart towels are smaller and typically have a carabineer that clips to you bag. Both are completely appropriate so it is simply a matter of preference.
Waffle Pattern is key:
One of the key differences between a regular shower towel and a quality golf towel is the material and texture. Shower towels are meant to dry off human skin, golf towels are meant to clean golf clubs. Why then would you expect both towels to be the same? Exactly. Uther Supply towels utilize a waffle pattern for their golf towels which I have found to be far superior compared to your typical shower towel. Unlike a cotton towel, Uther Supply golf towels are made from microfiber that is more absorbent and durable than cotton. Additionally, it is far superior when it comes to getting out dirt and grime from the grooves of your golf club.
Again, we are not talking about a lot of money. A cheap golf towel probably cost $15 while the Uther Supply is less than $30. Given that you will use it regularly and should be able to keep it for years, I just don’t see a reason to cheap out. Especially once you check out all of the cool patterns.
Uther Supply Golf Towel Pattern Selection:
Uther Supply has about 30 different patterns to choose from as well as an option to customize your own towel. Among the styles, they have some of the best patriotic towels I have seen. Foremost is the Lady Liberty. What I love about this pattern is that the stripes on the flag are not solid white. Instead, the flag has a vintage look with two huge Lady Liberty images. Absolutely fantastic is how I would describe this towel. Draped over your bag, this is a statement piece.
In addition to Lady Liberty, flag enthusiasts can go with a more standard USA Patriot design that features plenty of red, white and blue. Not to be left out, Canadians can find a similar Maple Leaf design.
Rounding out Uther Supply design options, you can find flowers, birds, fish and camo to don your next golf towel.
Custom Designs:
While I did not sample the custom Uther Supply Towels, I have seen a number of them on Uther’s Instagram feed. My bet is that Uther is using a sublimation process to place any image you like onto the towel. This is an easy and fantastic way to customize a towel because the image will be nearly photographic in quality.
Bottom Line:
If you are still carrying a boring towel you got from Golf Galaxy it is time to trade up. While there are lots of expensive golf accessories, towels are not one of them and the price difference between average and awesome is not very much. Don’t you owe it to yourself and your golf clubs to have awesome? Check out Uther Supply.
