Iron Covers?

[Bump-n-MI]

This subject has been beat to death but I couldn't have said it any better then Fatphil…

head covers on irons....gay

Please, feel free to use your iron headcovers all you want and keep your irons nice and purrty....I'll take mine with some war wounds. I guarantee that my clubs function exactly as they should...even with a few scars

. Bottom line is it's each players prerogative whether to use headcovers or not---I choose not.

The clubhead cover bashing by people with a putter cover as an avatar is cute. How many Scotty owners toss the club cover? I thought so.

Couldn't have been said any better.

Generalizing now….but you people that use iron headcovers seem to be real sensitive. Why do you care what others think?

Regardless, I think they are stupid

Iron covers, LOL.

It is funny how they seem to need validation or something. Whatever...to each his own. As far as the headcover in my avatar...it was purchased to remember a very meaningful event and was autographed by one of our Ryder cup team members. It was a very cool event...one that my son and I will always cherish.

head covers on irons....gay

While reading the first page and then some, I debated if I'd give my sentiments. Which are....head covers on irons...gay.

Seriously, head covers are a "tell" for me. That tell me that the dude has a mangina and gave up his man card long ago. Gay.

Well as I started the thread it is fitting that I end it (but doubt this will be the last) Well I purchased some iron covers and I will no doubt keep my irons in better condition than if I decided to go with the "straight option"

Perhaps, but does that allow you bashers to call it gay and stupid?

It's cool to be a hater... I don't like Ping irons. Should I walk around calling them gay?

If that is how you feel, then in a thread where someone asks if Ping irons are okay, then share your sentiments. Nobody here is "walking around calling them gay". That someone created this thread means they realize that iron covers might be frowned upon, and rather than rely on their own personal strengths to overcome whatever objections there might be out in the world, they came here to be validated. Perhaps the original post should have asked for only positive comments about iron covers.

Iron covers are okay only in certain situations. Take the following quiz, Cosmo-style:

In describing your golf experience, are you:
a) unsure which end of the club to grip
b) you know it's played by guys in bad pants and you can identify it on TV when you accidentally come across it
c) you've actually been to a golf course (miniature golf counts)

How many sets of irons do you own?
a) Three, though they're part of one set we got as a wedding present. We fry up eggs and bacon in 'em - nothing beats a good ol' iron skillet. Plus, I think Iron is in my vitamin supplement.
b) My car came with a tire iron. So, two cars, two irons.
c) Are those the things you use to hit the ball shorter distances on a golf course?

How old are you?
a) Young enough that I can't read yet.
b) Let's just say I still think of the birds and bees as wildlife.
c) Old enough to be able to wipe my own butt (or so old that you once again need help doing this).

Do you have any deep-seated obsessive compulsive disorder?
a) Yes
b) No
c) What the hell does this have to do with golf?

Now total your points. For every answer a, give yourself 0 points. For every answer b, 1 point. Answers of c are worth 2 points.

If your total points are:
0-1 - Go ahead, you're allowed to use headcovers.
2+ - WTF are you thinking? Headcovers on irons? What kind of a golfer are you, anyway?

that was awesome.

Keeping my M40 clean probably got me in the habit of using covers.

Hey OP, did you get the ones with windows instead of numbers? I found that I was carrying more wedges than there were labels for, so the windows took care of that. The complete lack of ethics on eBay means you can find covers with any name on them. I wanted orange to match my bag, (and heels?), and they happened to say Honma, what a hoot. The pro I took a lesson from actually got excited when he saw the covers!

The range of posters on this forum is awesome. I have been a heavy poster on a sailing forum for years and since we all sail the same size and brand of boat there is less diversity in personalities. Golf is amazing, it appeals to so many people.

Don't your heels dig into the greens when you walk?

[FHopper]

Something terrible but my Frogger brush handles it!

Wow, dumbest thread ever (except for the other headcover catfight threads). Like headcovers? Use them. Don't? Don't. No need to resort to childish homophobia over it.

Just got my new set of Ap2 irons. I and wondering how easy they will mark in the bag and should I use iron covers? Are they a pain to use in the cold and rain and wind that I will be playing in for the next couple of months?

By the way, congrats on the sweet new irons. I've been fond of the AP series from the moment they came out. Take care of them when damp...those covers will trap in the moisture and bad things may occur.

yeh Ping's....gay
