For even the recreational golfer, keeping your clubs clean during a round is of crucial importance. Doing so promotes solid contact, ensures maximum spin, and takes away one more flimsy excuse on which you might be tempted to blame your ballooning score. To best accomplish this, a golfer needs a towel… or two… or three. At least, he did. The Frogger Golf Amphibian towel is easily the most functional and highest-quality golf towel that we’ve every tested. That’s because, thanks to its combination of a bamboo terry exterior and a jacquard interior, the Frogger Amphibian does with one towel what it previously took strapping an entire laundry hamper to your bag to accomplish. It has now been definitively proven that a towel can, in fact, be bad ass.

Constructed like a large pocket, the intention is to leave the exterior of the towel dry, while keeping the inside wet for getting the caked-on grime off your clubs. The brilliance is that, on a rainy day, you can simply reverse the process, keeping the inside of the towel dry and usable, in spite of a deluge. A waterproof layer keeps the two different towel materials dry and, of course, the Amphibian includes the necessary hardware to hang it from your bag. Frogger’s top-notch towel effort is offered in a choice of blue, red, or black; we’re still waiting for the Gear Patrol color scheme to make an appearance in the lineup. Simply handling the Amphibian will convince you of its quality; taking it out on the course might just have you turning your old towels into car wash rags.

Its nylon bristles are pretty standard fare for a club brush, but solid construction, a groove-cleaning spike, and a retractable leash a make the BrushPro a worthy addition to your bag-flair. Even if you’re not a great golfer, you can look like you care about what you’re doing by spiffing up your club after each shot. Remember: a clean club is a happy club.

Cost: $30 (Amphibian) | $15 (BrushPro)
