Who cares about a few nicks on your irons? They don't affect play and they make the clubs yours imo. Personally I like the sound of irons chattering as I walk, music to my ears.

It is a nice sound, and I am sure that not having covers aren't going to do that much damage, but I am the type of person that likes to keep their gear in good condition and increase resale value.

I forgot....there is a bylaw that stipulates that if you use the iron head covers you must wear black dress socks with golf sandals. ;-)

I use the Club Glove Gloveskins and they keep my forged irons in good condition; the money I have invested in the irons justifies it in my opinion.  I understand they're not for everybody but anybody

I cannot stand them.  I kind of like some of the small dings that come along with riding in a cart or just general wear on my irons.  It makes me feel good to have them look like they have been used.

I have a buddy who takes more time putting his Driver cover on, than I EVER will as far as my iron covers. I don't even recover my Driver until the 18th hole. Its the tallest in the bag, what in the world could hurt it?

Im more worried about my driver shaft getting clonked rather than the head! Thats why the headcover goes down a bit(I hate ping headcovers!).

Now instead of iron covers have you considered something like the bagboy clip lok?

Absolutely! I have considered a new bag or some type of attachment. Is that a complete bag setup, or is it something that may fit my current Ogio cartbag? I really, really like my Ogio and would prefer an attachment. Just haven't found one that will properly work with my Ogio.

As far as the Driver shaft getting "clonked". . .I guess that's another reason I keep the iron covers on and I don't worry about the Driver. If every other club, besides my driver is covered, the driver should be okay.

The bagboy clip lok is a bag

Locks the clubs in place so they dont move. I'm considering purchasing that

I dont use them simply because of the hassel of taking them off when taking a shot, then having to put them back on again for a club you use a lot in a round. Plus they are super easy to loose, and I find them a big waste of money.

That's the reason they have a stigma. When I buy irons selling them is the last thing on my mind. I'd rather that they had a few nicks on them rather than picking up a brand new looking iron over and over, I bought them to play with them not to stare at them.

I use the stock ones. Or used to use it, until those little ones came off both my hybrids and got lost, now they're all dinged up. I like those sock style headcovers that protect the shafts from chatter. They don't fall off as easily either. Next set of hybrids, if they come with those little ones, I'm gonna scrap them and get some covers that I won't lose.

The posting policy requires a longer message than that, so this should do the trick.

I use stock, except for my 3 wood (which didn't come with a stock headcover) which I use my Garfield headcover on. I'm kind of thinking about getting an Odie headcover for my driver.

I'm so excited. I'm finally getting custom iron covers. Maybe someone will see and want to gamble a bit.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
