Head covers and theft?

[David in FL]

I don't even know anyone who's ever had a club stolen from them on a course.

I'm sure it happens, but it's never been something with which I concern myself.

Ironically, somebody stole the headcover from my Scotty cameron studio select, but didnt take the actual putter...lol. And just about anyone with any aestheic sense will tell you that the studio select headcovers are the most hideous looking things known to man. Go figure..lol.

But a friend of mine had his scotty stolen right out of his bag a few years ago. He had one of those fancy custom cameron headcovers on it. He uses a ping bootie cover on the one he uses now.

I use a jumbo mallet putter (Nike IC 20/20). Nobody would ever steal a mallet putter.

I only have one different headcover than the one that came with my clubs - it's my driver - I have a Chocolate Lab as my Driver head cover, instead of my Ping G10 headcover. It was a gift for Christmas last year (my dog is a chocolate lab), so I use it. I like it, looks funny.
I considered getting a different headcover for my new Scotty Cameron; but I like the original one so much better than anything else I found!





LOL my headcover!!

I really don't think anyone wants my 6 year old driver but my irons are nice. It does scare me a bit. I got an old 3 wood cover and a dog smoking a cigar driver cover. I have had that for years and was a gift from my wife so I will probably just put it on it for that reason. (and it is really sweet). I want a new driver.

I also have a no name bag that was cheap and nice. Great Dividers. But if you looked in my bag you would be aware they aren't cheap clubs.

I use all of the standard covers for my clubs besides my driver which has a polar bear head cover. Never really had a problem with theft at my home courses.

i had a run-in a few years ago where someone actually took my driver out of my bag on the range and was hitting it... it was witnessed by several people and the guy actually threatened to call the cops when i grabbed it out of his hands. anyways... since then i've used non-stock headcovers... right now i have a Black-face Sheep headcover from Whistling Straits on my driver.

The only non-manufacturer head cover I'd use would be something like Ishikawa's headcover.

This image is disturbing in more than one way lol.

Ive got a JDM (Japanese domestic market) Mizuno putter cover on my Bettinardi. No sense in advertisting to the world that I own an expensive putter.

My putter is the only club in my bag with a cover. The putter is a sub-$50 Wilson mallet of some sort. The cover is an old sock. I think I'm safe.

I just manned up and decided that i was going to buy a nice putter...so I bought the Cameron Squareback from Golfsmith, here in Florida. The headcover that comes with it is butt ugly!! So...I went in search for a good looking Scotty Cameron headcover. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THESE STUPID THINGS GO FOR??????? It's absolutely amazing to me. $250 for a good looking leather headcover. I spoke with customer service at Cameron and she said that it was nothing to buy these COLLECTIBLES for upwards to $2,000!!!! She asked me..."You are not going to game it...are you?" I said..."Well...yeah...I thought I was going to." She mentioned that guys just collect them and keep them knowing that some day..they will be worth a lot of money!
Now THIS is a cover that i think I would have bolted to my bag! I can imagine me going in for a soda and a dog at the turn and coming out to a violated golf bag..and the putter and the cover missing! I would die!! There is nothing like advertising what you have in the bag with a cover like that! I think I am in unchartered waters with this putter.
