Without headcovers how could I show off that I went to (or know someone who went to) Pebble Beach or St. Andrews or that I have a Scotty in my bag?

The putter cover is to reduce ding, scuffs and nicks - I have a buddy who I sold my prior Scotty and his is beat to hell (no cover and they roll around in his trunk)

I take my driver & putter cover off while I'm playing, as I use those on almost every hole.

Players play, tough players win!

For me,  I never use covers on my irons/wedges.  I do cover my woods for the simple fact that the tops of those clubs tend to "clang" against the irons, leaving marks on the tops.  This becomes a distraction for me at address with my driver/hybrids.  For my irons, I wrap a towel between them (caddy style) and call it a day.  I cover my putter because it can damage the other clubs because of it's weight/material.  Also, the sound of a driver banging against an iron makes my spine cringe.

    • 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.
    • 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.
