I am bored at work just waiting for the time to get here when I can leave to go to league night (hour long drive). You people aren't posting things fast enough to keep me occupied so I thought I would start a thread about Driver Head Covers. What 'out of the ordinary' head cover are you using? Or what head cover would you like? Here is mine... No, I don't look like Cerrano (now the All-State guy). I'm a little more Caucasian.

I have some custom made by a family member. She knitted them for me. Problem was they were only good for a couple of years due to wear, and tear.

After that, I just went with hand puppets for head covers. Not expensive and have lasted going on 10 years now.

Here's a few designs. some of course would not work well for golf.

I really want these from Daphne but just haven't bought them yet.  Probably good Christmas presents from family.  I love to BBQ and these are my favorite specimens :)

Patch! Do the hand puppets actually stay on the head tight enough? Seems like they are a little big at the bottom and might not fit very snug.

I have never had a problem with them not staying on. Even when I might use a cart, or play in windy conditions. They don't have the long "sock" like material at the bottom, but they work just fine anyways. Obviously if the golfer has a leather bag, or bag that might be abrasive to the shafts, they would offer no protection.

My favorites are a Monkey for my putter, and a St Bernard for my driver. Another reason I like them because they look more realistic than the ones sold in golf shops.

I thought about using a stuffed animal minus the stuffing but wanted something more custom. The hand puppet is an interesting idea as long as the head of the driver fits in but I'm just barely more grown up than most of the themes. They need age appropriate hand puppets.

I rock Darth Vader on my SLDR.  He strikes fear into my opponents.

I hum the Vader theme song as I pull out the driver to smash the ball 415 on average (It's the internet so I have to add like 130 yards to my average drive, right?)

I have a Black Lab headcover for my driver. I think it is from Daphne's. It is easy to get on and off and has not come off on it's own. I probably should get a Chihuahua the way I hit my driver sometimes.

Where did you get the Jobu headcover? That thing is awesome, and I have a buddy who would love one of those.

It was custom made and a bit expensive (but worth it IMO). I found a woman on Etsy that makes head covers from pictures of people and asked her if she would entertain making one of the statue picture. She is in the UK so shipping was another expense. I can give you her details if your buddy would be interested after knowing the price will be over $100. Yes, I paid over $100 for a hand puppet.

Yeah, that's too steep. At half the price I might consider it, but $100 for a headcover is too much for him (and me). Still very cool. And thanks for sharing. Definitely one of a kind.

My playing partner has the same cover............LOL  He does hit the ball 10 miles!

My cover has seen better days because he is missing his nose, but I refuse to replace him.......

Brutus Buckeye Rocks!  He's also been around the world.  He's been to the "other side" of the planet.......he's been to a Robert Trent Jones Jr course on Penang Island,  Malaysia.  His furthest Trek!

This just proves..... Ohio State fans really would cut off their nose just to spite their face! Just look at those evil brows and he is still smiling after losing his nose.

Just kidding around. Other than watching in hopes that some underdog knocks down a ranked team college sports mean nothing to me.

      2027 Ryder Cup

      I could see that being the stress of the playing partner. I would be interested to see a deep dive into how he performed.  I do wonder the difference in record of best ball versus alt shot. In alt shot, you basically are taking 50% of his impact and adding in 50% of another golfers impact. So naturally, his total effective strength would be less.  That could be the case.  I think it might be more due to the style of golf they grew up playing. If in the UK, foursomes is more common, then that is an advantage. In the USA, I don't think foursomes or even best ball is common at the high school or collegiate level. It is more match play and stroke play. Maybe the PGA Tour should petition the NCAA to change their formats to include more Alt Shot.

      This makes all kinds of sense. Look at an exception on the US side: Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth are a renowned Ryder and Presidents Cup pairing, and they DO socialize together, are the best of friends in fact.

      Tiger has a good singles record, but not a good pairs record. My own personal theory on that is he's hard to play with. If you play with him in either format and lose, it's going to be your fault. "How could you not win playing with the best ever?" kind of thing. That ups the pressure that's already pretty insane and makes you play worse. At the same time, Tiger's a bit of a control freak. He hates not having the wheel and in foursomes play, he has to give that up for half the shots. So he doesn't play very well and his partner doesn't play very well. The Euros are much better (it seems) at giving up that control and playing against him has the effect of reducing the pressure a little because if you lose, well, he's the best ever so it's hardly surprising. All of which shifts the balance a little against Tiger and so his record isn't great.  I also don't think the US captains did a great job partnering him off. Putting him with Phil is maybe one of the worst decisions in team golf history. I think he needed someone who was happy to play second fiddle. Was steady. Kind of person who shoots 68-71 a lot and less 63 or 76 type player. Not sure that was ever going to be an easy thing to do mind you.  As to your other questions, a friend of mine went to a dinner that Padraig Harrington spoke at. What Paddy said is that on the European Tour (as it was then), the players would go and stay at the same place and get together, have dinner, enjoy each other's company and get along. Then in the US, everyone would go to their hotel, order room service and basically barely talk to each other. His theory was that the camaraderie meant much more cohesiveness and people being happy to play for each other and with each other.  County golf matches in the UK tend to be foursomes and singles and a lot of Euro tour players will have been through the county system on their way up. Hard to picture how you can change that. The US is just more individualist and Europe is more inclusive. Just the way that they are.

      Jim Furyk To Get Tough To Win Ryder Cup Back | Golf Monthly Jim Furyk says he will pick the "toughest" and "grittiest" players he can as he looks to solve the "glaring problem" preventing the USA from winning the Ryder Cup Yea, I am not a fan of the toughness talk. I do think the idea of closers might matter more. Tiger Woods, probably had the most grit of any player in history, has a losing record at the Ryder Cup. He was just not good in team formats.  I do think US needs to fix their team formats. It seems to be a historical problem. Do people over in Europe grow up playing team format golf more often? I don't get why they tend to succeed in that format. I am not sure it is a toughness question. I think toughness matters more in singles matches, where you are on your own island having to win.
