Re: Iron Headcovers / Iron Covers

i think head covers can be a great thing if you use them right. If you are concerned about rust then only use the headcovers when you are out playing a round and wipe them with a towel after each shot. When you bring them home take the covers off while they sit. Its not that hard guys. And you irons will not have all those dings in the metal.

Re: Iron Headcovers / Iron Covers

btw all the tour pros have to do is call their brand rep and ask for a new set anytime they want for free. We dont have the privalege of that so I take care of mine.

I put them on when I'm finished a round so they don't get too banged up in the trunk. On the course, when I use an iron I just throw it in the bag and replace it when the round is done. It's a pain to pt them on and off after every shot which is why I do that. I'm a walker though (push cart). If I rode in a cart I would put them on after every shot since that is where a lot of chatter happens.

Warning.... there will be people who reply making fun of iron covers saying bag chatter gives a club character or some will say "does a plumber cover his pipe wrench?!?!" #1....the same people who say bag chatter gives the club character are the same fools who wash their clubs after every round. #2.....the people who think clubs are their tools are obviously NOT plumbers or contractors!! Their tools are usually better taken care of than golf clubs!!
just wont let it go will ya.......

Re: Iron Headcovers / Iron Covers

btw I saw a used set of ap1 irons at the golf store that looked like complete crap from not having iron covers on them. It made me sick to look at the finish so ugly. They were still selling them for like 500

Re: Iron Headcovers / Iron Covers

I don't use them but to each his own. On a side note, I bought one of those brushes on a retractable lanyard attached to nylon fishing line stuff a couple of years and have since replaced it with a 5 dollar "maintenance man" lanyard with a retractable chain from the tire section at Wallyworld. I keep my clubs cleaned after every shot and it keeps em looking good, takes about 10 seconds.

That was actually such a unique series of posts, whenever they were originally made, that there probably isn't a single regular poster on here that forgot it. I personally made the connection immediately. But since you bring it up, aren't you the one who introduced the following into this thread:

"does a plumber cover his pipe wrench?!?!"

I've never seen a chrome plated pipe wrench, but either way, I've also never seen a plumber (or anyone who owns or uses wrenches for that type of job) place a chrome plated tool into a padded protective covering before he tosses it into the tool box or tool drawer. A mechanic or instrument technician perhaps, since their wrenches are really expensive, but a plumber? Come on.

HAHA!!! Yeah.....it was a pretty interesting thread indeed.....

I just always thought it was pretty funny how someone can compare a pipe wrench to a golf club.....that's all. When I used to swing a hammer......I tried to take good care of my stuff......drove some nuts but I like to buy my tools once, saves money in the long run! As for where I got the 'pipe wrench analogy'....I got that from some other poster.....hmmmmmm maybe I'm a creepy Sand Trap Stalker too.............

Re: Iron Headcovers / Iron Covers

It is hard to get the clubs to rust. I have had a putter outside on my putting green for a month with no signs of rust.

Re: Iron Headcovers / Iron Covers

What I don't get is....why is it gay to have iron covers but totally cool to have some ugly ass character has a driver cover?

Anyway, I use the iron covers while I'm riding around. When I'm about to play a round i take them off. I try to protect them as much as possible JUST INCASE I decide to sell at some point.

I sported the neoprene head covers last season when I purchased my AP1s. I bought them for this reason alone - because I had heard that the polished finish on the AP1s scratched easily. Well...they do...

Even after I used the headcovers they still looked like crap from hitting dirty balls, driving range, etc etc. So...I stopped using them. Figured they're going to get banged up anyways.

That said....if you want to use headcovers....use 'em. If some people don't like them and say they're "gay" - who cares. They are your clubs and if you feel like they protect your investment, then do it.

Personally, I found that they only prolong the enevitable. I do still use them when storing my clubs and traveling, though.

Nothing says gay more than playing a round with 'Star Wars' headcovers (yes, a total of three) guy.

HAHAHAHA!!!! I never thought about that but you are VERY RIGHT!!! I get a kick out of people showing up at a course with a giant bird or some other animal on their driver. Or better yet....some 1985 covers with a giant pom pom that their mom made for them.....but that is completely OK and manly. But iron covers to protect the clubs.....that's gay....

BTW people....not to burst your bubble or cross this line but it's golf for crying out loud!! It's not rugby!! If you play golf to look manly and tough......you might want to re-think things a bit..... Odds are a lot of you 'iron cover haters' show up to the course in your nice polyester breathable bright orange shirt, pressed slacks and ride around in a little cart.......again....not all that manly........

Know a guy who puts Nike socks on his Nike irons. They actually looked pretty good in that case.
