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.
