My Christmas gift wishlist is a little short and my wife suggested an animal driver headcover. I've always liked them, but if I have one, would that make me look like a total d-bag? I like this yellow lab (because it looks like my dog) and this polar bear (because I kinda like polar bears and polar bears = ferocious and ice cold, which is what I wish my golf game was like). If it makes a difference, I normally shoot mid 90s (in case it's one of those things where it's okay if you're good, but not okay if you're not very good).

I dont see why it would, the only cover that makes you look like a D-bag is the one you dont like.

Golf is just a game, do what makes you happy out there.

Having a little reminder of your best friend out there is pretty awesome, go for it.

I personally don't like those animal covers. But you shouldn't worry about what other people think about it or you. As long as they are not majorly offensive or something like that, just buy and use what you like ! It's your hobby, you life, your enjoyment ! Go for it !

Cute but they seem to take up too much room - I'll pass.

I am not a fan of animal covers...but the bear is kind of cool. In the end you will find that no one really cares and if they do they are the dbag.

They remind me of early 1990's clothing styles (I'd say "fashion", but I've never been fashionable). Too much pointless fabric - which is totally fine for other people.

Headcovers are just one of those things where you use what you like. I really don't have an opinion one way or another about animal headcovers, just use what you like and screw those who may take issue with them. I have NY Jets headcovers and they don't always go over well here in Dolphin country.

I have 2 dogs. One Golden mix and one shepherd mix. I got one that resembles the golden about a year ago. Then I just got one that looks like a shepherd not too long ago. I just got a 3 wood so I can now use the Shepherd cover. I think that animal headcovers is no different than anything else for a head cover. Just personal preference.

Plus I enjoy having the pet reminders out there with me while I'm golfing.

Don't worry about what others 'might think', if you like them, then get them. Then, just kill them on the golf course. I have 2 in my bag, a Disney 'Tigger' (because he's one of a kind) and a Garfield that my brother got for me on a trip. I used to have a really cool wart-hog instead of the Garfield, but he fell off some where. Here's a tip...I've since added a 'jacket-type snap closure' to them so I can snap them around the shaft and they won't work themselves off when walking.

Hhaving an a goofy headcover in your bag doesn't make you look like a d-----bag. Asking us about it makes you look like a wimp. In other words grow a pair. No offense intended.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

I see animal head covers like tattoos....if you are going to worry about what people are going to think / say. Don't bother getting them; it obviously doesn't mean that much to you.

Nothing to think about here man. Buy what ever the hell you want. Period.

Alternatively, if you decide on a full set of knit headcovers, read my older thread below. Ju Ju makes very high quality headcovers and will use any colors you want to match your bag or what ever. Super cool lady too. Affordable and fast shipping (unlike most all others).... http://thesandtrap.com/forum/threads...+ju+headcovers -Dan

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
