Abstract:

A cleaning device for golfers has a towel body and a brush member is secured at one corner thereof. The brush member carry perpendicular bristles for scrubbing golf implements and equipment, and the towel body provides a water absorbing medium to remove water from the implements and equipment. In the apparatus and method of this preferred invention, the brush member is mechanically fused to the fibers of the towel body, but in an alternate form, the brush member includes a mounting plate that is mechanically fused to the fibers of the towel body and a brush element is releasably secured to the mounting plate. This is accomplished by melting back web portions of the brush and compressing the molten portions and a portion of the towel body together to fuse the fibers and molten portions to one another. The brush member is contoured to fit the golfers hand and to simulate a golf green; the towel body is printed with graphic elements to simulate a golf hole. A clip may be mounted on a corner of the towel body opposite the brush member, so that, when the cleaning device is clipped to an erect golf bag, the towel body hangs uniformly alongside the golf bag.
