About: Gents… my name is Dusty. To date, I have been resident amongst the masses of Gear Patrol devotees. Now, I have received a different calling. My charge is to shrug off the casual and carefree life of one who solely reads; I am to eschew the selfish pleasures man-info consumption, and to, instead, contribute mighty works of journalistic prowess suitable for the enlightenment of the Gear Patrol audience.
I’m sure that we would all agree that Gear Patrol shines as a bright beacon in the world of Men’s Lifestyle and Leisure. With numerous other sites and magazines vying for your attention, you read Gear Patrol because it cuts through the worthless flotsam and jetsam the other sites and blogs rehash day in and day out, bringing you a unique perspective on the latest gizmos and whatnots that matter to you. Well, it just so happens that I majored in gizmos and minored in whatnots.
Hopefully, my background and experiences will allow me to deliver piping-hot and tasty content direct to you from my areas of expertise. I was schooled in the beautiful Southeastern U.S. of A. There I spent only a modicum of time in actual class; instead wisely opting to hone other skills such as video game dominance (Ed: Dusty’s GoldenEye skills were unparalleled - full stop), media and entertainment studies, and indulging my competitive nature.
Post graduation, I sojourned for three years in southern Germany. There, I garnered a great appreciation for European culture as well as their longstanding brewing traditions/skills. Needless to say, travel is up there on my list of personal passions. Now I am back in the States where, by day, I work in sales and marketing in the construction industry. Also, I’m an on-again, off-again runner who enjoys many outdoor activities, preeminent among them being a fanatical, though rarely fantastical, golfer.
That being said, you may have to indulge some of my written idiosyncrasies. If my posts get too wacky, surely someone will let me know (Eric?). I plan to bring a bit of wit and wisdom to a community that clearly already has them in spades. Fellow readers, I shall do you proud by helping advance Gear Patrol in advancing you. After all, it’s a good bet that at least some of what entertains me just might entertain you too.

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.
Additionally, Frogger Golf offers a superb cleaning tool, the BrushPro; it’s a natural partner to the Amphibian towel. 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

Be careful of their shipping charges with this company. It has been reported on just about every website that has tried their product. "The product is great, but the handing by the company is not". Google search will lead to that.
Their TV ads say "free priority handling" yet that means absolutely nothing and is misleading to mean shipping. Again, good product, bad shipping and customer service practices. I have read 8 blogs that have said the exact same thing.
I agree with above-customer service is terrible. I feel like I am talking to an operator in the phillipines or something.
