Frogger Amphibian Golf Towel
Back in this golf blog post I reviewed the Frogger Amphibian golf ball towel. As I mentioned before, Frogger and head frog Jeremiah are good friends.
This is a companion review covering the full sized version of the Amphibian towel.
Technology
A “technology” heading for a towel? You bet.
The Amphibian towel is a large square towel with two of the four sizes sewn together. This forms a sort of “pita pocket” shape. The inside of the towel is a bamboo terry and is used as the wet part for cleaning clubs, balls etc. The outside is cotton and stays dry, despite the inside being wet. So you clean your clubs with the inside and dry them with the outside. Very cool.
On the course
I used to wet a large towel about half way down, so the bottom half was wet and the top half dry. Now I can have the same single wet/dry towel but one that keeps the two completely separate. The inside of the Amphibian stays wet for most of a round and hot hot days may need a small boost of water about half way through the round. (more…)
On the first hole yesterday I saw a ball in front of my buddy while he was hitting his 3rd shot (par 5). A few holes later apparently a ball nearly hit my buddy while he was walking off the green. It seems the two old ladies in the group behind us were not only pushing us, with nowhere to go, but were hitting into us.
The old ladies, and I mean around 70ish, caught us on #6 tee. My pal turned to them and in a very stern voice said “Hey you. Stop hitting into us. You nearly hit me twice. We’re playing as fast as we can and waiting for the group in front of us on every shot. If you hit one more ball at me I’m hitting it back at you.”
He was right. They were rude and should have waited. Even old ladies need a tounge lashing sometimes.

Ever reach in your pocket to grab your divot tool and realize you don’t have it? I hate that. So then you have to grab a tee and try to fix the ball mark the best you can. If you’re like me you fix about 10 ball marks per green and doing that with a tee is not too thrilling.
Divot Tees solve that problem. Divot Tees are golf tees and divot tools at the same time.
Divot Tee
I’ve played a few rounds with a batch of Divot Tees and they work great. The tee is about as durable as a standard wooden tee. The image below shows how well the Divot Tee worked on a pretty big ball mark (before/after).
I’ll be watching the USA team lose the Ryder Cup on my DVR starting on Monday. Friday I’m heading out of town to go camping and hiking in southern Utah at a super cool place called Goblin Valley. It is the last week of summer so I’d better get myself smelling like that wonderful combination of campfire smoke and bug spray one more time.
