Bruce’s TIP OF THE WEEK #2 of 156
Layout: location of the shower towels

LOCKER ROOMS VARY IN SETUP from club to club and one noticable difference is the location of the shower towels. Rather than the members and guests be inconvenienced by having to walk to the shower area to get a towel, it would be easier if the towels were located close to the lockers. The same holds true when disposing of used towels. Towel drops should be located near the lockers as well, although not every person will use them.

I HAVE ALSO NOTICED that some clubs fold the towels and others roll the towels?  Do you have a preference? My first impression when seeing the shower towels rolled was that I thought it was unique. However, I prefer folded because more can be stacked on the shelfs and it takes less time to do. Also, as Todd Dufek pointed out, “If clubs have logos on their towels then they would have to be stacked or the logo would not be visible.”

     Add a full length mirror with a grooming station shelf on one end panel and add clothes hooks on the next, then alternate.

     NOT EVERY LOCKER ROOM has custom-built towel storage units at the end of each row of lockers. This can be an inconvenient layout design if the members and guests have to first walk to the shower area to get a towel.  A solution, if there are enough empty lockers in each row, is storing towels in end lockers as shown in the picture on the left. In this example, the door was removed.
     Personally, I think its functionality outweighs whether fancy looking or not. Should the locker be occupied by a member, perhaps they might be willing to relocate by being offered an incentive such as a comp guest greens fee or a comp locker fee.
