Iron Covers?

[RocketSauce]

hehe, but seriously, just do whatever you like. i could care less if someone uses them or doesnt use them. some people want to keep their clubs looking new, others dont care one way or the other. do what makes you happy

I hate to admit it, but I bought neoprene covers for my Nike blades. After reading this thread, I feel like I am back in high school after I got a perm. Had no idea how uncool it was until I went to school the next day.

I am so going to throw those away when I get home.

Don't toss em out. I would be glad to use em.

Haha - Thanks for the work day entertainment fellas.

I'm sticking to my guns on this one - you won't find me getting those damn club covers.

Honestly, if you are really worried about dings, get the covers. I have my forged blades for almost 2 years now and you barely notice the dings after a while. There are some cool looking Mizuno iron covers that I saw on eBay if you change your mind.

Don't send them to him Norm. Remember, in most places, accessory to a crime carries the same consequences as having committed the crime yourself!

Well since i hail from CA, the land of Fruits and Nuts. I'm OK with being an outsider.

I am so ashamed.

Putting covers on your irons is the golf equivalent of wearing wearing black socks with shorts and sandals.

Thanks, I just spit water all over my computer monitor…although I couldn’t agree more.

Thanks guys; I feel so much better now I know I'm a jerk. Do you, by any chance, like designer clothes and wear them so the labels are nice and visible? Did you used to rag on the guy at school whose clothes you thought weren't fashionable enough?

To the OP: get covers if you want. I like my irons without the bag chatter thank-you very much.

Noblesse oblige.....

It's a tough, and nearly overwhelming responsibility, but someone's got to do it.......for the good of the game.

Lol! It's good to know we have such altruistic golfers amongst us.

Great thread.....love the witty replies.

Got some good laughs from this one.


Club condoms aren't my thing either.

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?

Thanks

[James_Black]

I know a guy who has the AP2's.
He used to use the head covers but he said when they got wet he'd forget to dry them and they'd start to rust the AP2's.
I don't like the look of the head covers either.

[DiverDown]

I use head covers for Cobra CB's. I like that it protects the heads, and I don't hear them rattling in the bag when I'm walking the course.

[RocketSauce]

there are tons of threads about iron covers here and they all tend to be the same. some people say dont use them, others say use them. i for one say if you like em, use em. people will also say " clubs are meant to be used ", and bag chatter gives your irons charachter . if you want to keep your irons looking nice, that is YOUR choice. people will also tell you to just wrap a towel around your irons so they dont bang together rather than use headcovers... some people like to take care of their things. some dont care. do what you want

[stebed]

Think I will take a look at getting some. I don't really like them but I do want my irons to stay in good condition. If I can pick some up cheap (which is a challenge in in Dublin) I think I will give them ago.

I have cast clubs, so not too worried about bag chatter. I only use them when walking because I don't like walking with a chattering bag near someone taking a shot. It's easier to just keep walking than have to stop while the person takes their shot, or to try to hold the clubs still.

I always make sure that my clubs are dry before storing them, whether I use the head covers or not.
