| 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.

I claim:
1. A cleaning device which is adapted to be secured to a golf bag for use by a golfer to clean his/her golfing implements and equipment, such as golf clubs, golf shoes, golf balls and the like, comprising:
- a towel body constructed of a water absorbent material in the form of a panel having a front surface, a rear surface, a peripheral edge extending therearound and a peripheral margin adjacent the peripheral edge;
- a brush member secured to said towel body on the front surface thereof, said brush member including a plurality of stiff, resilient and elongated bristles projecting generally perpendicularly outwardly from said front surface; and
- mounting means for releasably mounting said towel body while in use at a point of attachment of said golf bag, said mounting means located in spaced apart relation to said brush member to suspend said brush member in spaced relation from the point of attachment so that said brush member can be easily and effectively maneuvered and employed by the golfer to clean his/her golfing implements and equipment without detaching said towel body from said golf bag.
