Golf towels are essential accessories for any golfer, helping to keep clubs clean and dry, while also doubling as a sweat or moisture wipe for hands and face. Most golf towels come with a grommet and carabiner or a hook, but what if your towel has a hole in the middle? In this guide, we will discuss various methods to hang a golf towel with a hole in the middle and ensure it stays secure throughout your round.
Method 1: Binder Clip and Carabiner
Materials:
Golf towel with a hole in the middle
Binder clip
Carabiner
Instructions:
Begin by folding your golf towel in half, aligning the hole in the middle.
Attach the binder clip to the top edge of the folded towel, securing the two layers together.
Attach the carabiner to the binder clip’s metal loop.
Clip the carabiner to your golf bag, ensuring it is securely fastened.
Method 2: Paracord and Loop
Materials:
Golf towel with a hole in the middle
Paracord or strong string
Scissors
Lighter (optional)
Instructions:
Cut a length of paracord (or string) approximately 12-18 inches long.
If using paracord, melt the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying.
Thread the paracord through the hole in the middle of the towel.
Tie a secure loop or knot at the end of the paracord.
Attach the loop to your golf bag, either by threading it through a loop on the bag or using a carabiner to secure it.
Method 3: Suction Cup Hook
Materials:

Moisten the suction cup part of the hook slightly to ensure proper adhesion.
Attach the suction cup to a smooth surface on your golf bag, such as a flat pocket or the side of the bag.
Thread the hook through the hole in the middle of the towel.
Ensure the suction cup remains securely fastened to your golf bag.
Method 4: Velcro Strap
Materials:

Instructions:
Measure the length of the Velcro strap needed to wrap around the top edge of the folded towel, allowing for a small overlap to ensure a secure connection.
Cut the Velcro strap to the desired length.
Thread the Velcro strap through the hole in the middle of the towel.
Fold the towel in half, aligning the hole in the middle.
Wrap the Velcro strap around the top edge of the folded towel and fasten it securely.
Ensure your golf bag has a metallic surface or component where the magnetic hook can attach securely. This may be a frame, handle, or other metallic parts of the bag.
Attach the magnetic hook to the metallic surface of your golf bag.
Thread the hook through the hole in the middle of the towel.
Check the magnetic hook’s grip periodically to ensure it remains securely fastened to your golf bag.
Method 6: Zip Tie and Carabiner

Fold the golf towel in half, aligning the hole in the middle.

Tighten the zip tie securely, leaving a small loop to attach the carabiner.
Trim off any excess length from the zip tie using scissors.
Attach the carabiner to the zip tie loop.
