Didn't get achance to reply but it seems most of you have misread my OP. I said it could no head covers to add/remove in a 4 ball "save up to 1 min" per tee box. That's 15 sec per player. Please don't anyone tell me you can remove and replace a head cover in less than 10 seconds. The face and sole of your club gets abused everytime you swing the club. It's not so much the time wasted that annoys me as if your going to play a round then it needs to be taken at a relaxed ( Not slow ) pace but as I work in an industry ( aerospace ) to be exact, I have yet to see matals such as titanium suffer any metal fatigue from being banged together under the forces experienced in a golf bag. I have my Hibore XL with almost 2 yrs now and have never had the cover on it during a round and the black upper face is as pristine as the day I bought it. Mind you my clubs get treated like one of the family when I'm not on the course, being kept inside, as I'm aware of the effects moisture/temp changes can have on clubs and grips left out in a damp garage. As for the guy with all the iron covers a few posts back .... LOL, don't get me started

you speak of others not reading the OP... well you didn't read too well either. Many of us mentioned the shaft protection aspect of headcovers. Also, I can replace my headcover while I am walking or waiting for the next guy in the group to hit... NO time wasted. Either way I have to walk back to my cart or bag. Cleary you are an idiot and just want to complain about something stupid.

Honestly your argument is a little ridiculous. I really can't imagine that there would be that much time saved by not allowing headcovers to be used. If you are going to go as far as saying headcovers are not allowed you might as well ban teeing up the ball, practice swings, cleaning the ball on the green and removing the pin while you are at it.

    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
    • Day 296: did a stack session. 
    • Day 126: 5/1/24 Putting and chipping practice. Slow motion swings with 8-iron.
    • #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.
    • Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.
