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.

Do I know you? Are you a 'Sandtrap Stalker'...........? Kinda creepy dude.....remembering me from a thread 2 months ago...... My iron covers may look g@y but at least I'm not the creepy Sandtrap Guy........

That was actually such a unique series of posts, whenever they were originally made, that there probably isn't a single regular poster on here that forgot it.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.............

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.

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.

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

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.

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........

He ripped it out to make his own sutures.

HAHA!!!

Sad thing is....those were the days when NFL players actually were tough. Remember years ago a guy can break his leg in 3 places and he'd still walk off the field. Now, a guy sprains a finger and the trainers bring out the cart......

How come this subject never can be discussed without a bunch of morons in here flaming and calling everything gay? Are people in here really not more grown up? Is golf not a gentleman sport, if so, does that not apply in here?

    • @collegefbfan-That is a lot of text in a row. Paragraphs please.-Tough for my old eyes to read. The article is mebbe worse than the other one-This guy does not even 'write good'. It is not worth the time to read or discuss-Really. There are bad instructors-He is a worse writer than many bad instructors are bad instructors.
    • Day 545, April 30, 2024 Practiced downtown (Golf Evolution) for an hour today with Natalie beside me. Feeling a lot of old feelings, in a good way.
    • Thanks for including me on this article.  I really appreciate it.  I will try to explain what my objectives are and what I have done in the past with other instructors.  I have been to five instructors in 4 years.  Some of that time included a year layoff.  I told each one that my main goal was to make good contact and hit the ball straight, I didn't care about crazy long distance.  I know other things matter when hitting different clubs, where the ball is placed in the stance, rough or sand, etc.  1st instructor (about an hour away) was PGA certified, and he was more worried about me watching him hit his 6 iron straight than teaching me anything.  For the little time he watched me hit, he watched me hit ground ball after ground ball with no advice or suggestions.  2nd instructor (1.5 hours away) was better, but it was more about club lag/lean without really telling me how to do it.  3rd instructor (about 40 minutes away) was PGA certified and said he taught a relaxed swing.  I never really got what that meant.  4th instructor (1.75 hours away) was at a very nice country club and PGA certified with all the stuff a student would want.  Never looked at grip.  Also told me that the "wrists take care of themselves in the swing".  Really?  Have you seen all the questions about wrist hinge and timing?  Tells me to get weight on my lead foot/leg but no drills or thought processes on how to accomplish it.  Most current instructor (50 minutes away) looked at everything.  Checks grip, has a way to have my weight on my lead foot/leg, etc.  I said hey when do I come back.  He says after you have become comfortable with these "short" shots and making consistent contact, we will discuss a good time for another lesson.  I know being PGA certified matters to a lot of folks.  I sort of relate it to this:  I have had my vehicles worked on by my step grandfather, my father in law, my brother in law, even myself.  None of us are ASE certified, but it got fixed without tons of wrong guesses as to what it could be.  I am just a 50 year old guy that should have taken the game up 20-25 years ago.  I have always liked the sport a lot.  Just wanna be a guy that can hit the ball consistently and not hook, slice, and shank every other swing.  Many thanks you all. 
    • Day 125: 4/30/24 7 th program, session 5/24 of Full Speed Spectrum of current program. Dealing with a sore neck and injured index fingers. Tied for 3rd highest speed, of 5, but much slower than high speed several programs ago. 
    • Fair enough but I still think this writer is being a total dick pivoting his BS theory off this unsuspecting instructor, who for all we know might be the only chance those hacks will ever have of hitting a ball straight.
