Abstract: A towel protector includes a waterproof inverted bag provided with a suspension grommet for suspending the bag from a golf cart or the like. Another grommet in the wall of the bag allows passage of a towel suspension cord. The exterior part of the cord is provided with a spring loaded toggle abutting against the grommet. The pressing of a release button of the toggle allows free passage of the cord through the toggle and into the bag. The opening at a lower end of the bag is large enough to allow free movement of towels suspended at the end of the cord out of and back into the bag, as the toggle and the cord are manipulated by the user. The device presents an advantage over known towel protectors in that it is extremely simple in structure and convenient in use as the user does not have to reach into the protective bag to pull the towels out or otherwise manipulate the protecting cover. The towel protector is primarily intended for use as a golf towel protecting device.
