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.

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.

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That was actually such a unique series of posts, whenever they were originally made, that there probably isn't a single regular poster on here that forgot it.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

      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.
