Somewhere on the tenth tee, your towel and your golf balls got separated. The towel’s hanging off a zipper pull you can’t reach mid-swing, and the ball you just pulled from the rough is still wearing half the fairway. One product fixes both problems by making them the same product.

What it actually is
The Caddy Splash is a waffle-weave microfiber golf towel with a built-in 8×8-inch pocket sewn into the front. Wet the pocket, drop a dirty ball in, work it around for a few seconds, and it comes out clean — no separate washer, no cup holder gadget, no extra thing to clip on. A strong magnet on the back handles attachment, sticking straight to a golf cart frame, a metal railing, or anything else ferrous, and it’ll also hook onto a bag or club the old-fashioned way with its clip.
Who actually benefits from it
This is for the golfer who’s tired of carrying three separate things — a towel for clubs, a towel for hands, and something else entirely for balls — and would rather consolidate into one piece of gear that lives on the cart and does all three jobs. The waffle-weave texture is genuinely good at pulling dirt and grass out of club grooves too, so it’s not just a ball gimmick bolted onto a towel; it’s a real cleaning towel that happens to also handle balls.
If you already carry a dedicated ball washer like a Birdie Bath and a separate towel, you don’t need this — you’ve already got both jobs covered, just as two things instead of one. This is for golfers looking to simplify, not stack more gear on top of what they’ve already got.
The verdict
The Caddy Splash is a magnetic golf towel with ball pocket built right in, and it isn’t reinventing the golf towel — but combining “wipe it down” and “clean the ball” into one is a smart, obvious idea executed well — the kind of thing you see on a cart and immediately understand. At around $30, it replaces two pieces of gear with one and does both jobs competently. If your bag currently has a separate towel and a separate ball cleaner rattling around, this is the upgrade that gets rid of one of them.
