What type of person doesn't use iron covers?

[razaar]

Forget all the homo finger pointing; the real issue is what sort of person doesn't use iron covers.

[Yossarian]

John Wayne did not use iron covers and we all know what a man he was. ;)

Are you sure? They are called holsters.:)

[WBennett]

Someone who is into function over form.

Or a non-iron ho.

[AndyP]

Homophobes.

There just shovels so why would you put a cover on a shovel?

Someone who can handle bag chatter and does not care about resale value of his or her irons.
Someone very tough indeed....:roll:
BTW...i have ordered mine through ebay. Havent recieved them yet.

[BrisVegas]

I don't anymore. Irons are worth bugger all these days, so not too worried about protecting against bag chatter.

[MegaWatty]

Nothing a good buff can't fix I say.

[Jarro]

That's it ...

.. i'm taking mine off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[virge666]

People with CAST clubs . . . :)

[parlyboy]

I used an iron cover today that i found in the shed on my vokey today. Must admit i felt like a bit of a homo taking it off, flubbing the chip then putting it back on again.
Worst $28 ive ever spent.
I might put them up here and see what i can get for them.

me

[mike]

... because;
1) I'm not bothered by the 'clank clank' noise nor am I bothered by people that object to said clanking.
2) they get lost.
3) Mizunos with bag chatter look cool.
4) Only wankers use them.

[oldmannoodles]

Not a fan myself either, for a number of reasons already mentioned plus a couple others:
- pain in the arse to remove, put aside, then replace (driver and putter headcovers are bad enough)
- why bother protecting a piece of metal from clanking against its brothers when you're hitting it against turf, rock, sand, etc at over 100mph?
- the look and sound of a nice set of irons in a bag are two of the aesthetic pleasures of the great game of golf
- I like my irons and have no interest in their resale value
- unless you are completely anal and comprehensively clean each club after every shot, wouldn't they actually collect dirt, sand, etc and scratch/dirty up your clubs anyway?
- they really are a bit gay
- they REALLY are a bit gay

Iron covers are essential for the golfer who plays with graphite shafted irons which is no different to wood covers on graphite shafted woods. Unless of course his clubs are freebees each or every other season. The clanging of metal on metal isn't the issue for me; it is metal on graphite.

[AndyP]

So it's okay to have covers for your woods and putter? Double standards.

Graphite shafted irons are already gay. You might as well have iron covers because you can't be double-gay. :mrgreen:

Guess it depends if you want your sore shoulder from steel shafts or agressive hand work.:mrgreen:

[markTHEblake]

posers who want everyone to see the brand of irons he is using.

[cobra23]

Irons clanging together won't damage the heads but not cleaning clubs properly before putting on head covers can leave rust marks on the heads if they are still wet so no more iron covers for me.

[dan]

Putter head covers are pretty gay. Like pool sharks who carry their cue around in those tiny brief cases.

[Johnny Canuck]

putter headcovers are necessary if you don't want a dinged up topline.

[Tex]

They never told me all this at the store when I bought head covers and graphite shafted clubs, they should come with a warning. Is it reason enough for a return?

At a guess: Head covers on all graphite shafted Callaway gear means a free entry to Madi Gras and lifetime membership at The Beat.

Ray, I don't get it. I just went for a walk around my yard, carrying my bag containing irons without headcovers, and the club heads don't come anywhere near the shafts.

[razaar]

Hey Mike, that's going to the extreme.:lol: Mine do on the smoothie buggie when they are arranged haphazardly,and they certainly do in the car. If I had a clip-lock bag probably wouldn't need the covers, but I've got a top of the range Cally carry bag. Mate if you can cover one of your hands with leather why not an iron. Personally I hate golf gloves, should be banned.:)

[goughy]

I don't use iron covers, and I don't wear a glove! Your not gonna get the hots for me at the champs are ya?? ;)

[mike]

Did anybody else know you can only use 15 smilies at once? What an outrage !!

[adlo]

I hate it when my neighbours spy on me walking around the backyard

I didn't know that. What was the message?

"Excessive emoticons error. Smilies reduced to save poster from embarassment."

Hey, I look pretty cute in black!!

You don't wanna post pics from my next event! That may be too much lycra for any mere mortal to handle ;)

Better than looking like a jouster without his horse though, surely...

[Ferrins]

The same people that never thought it was a good idea to cover these

[mike]

I just found my new avatar.

[mike]

I wilted. I invested in some black neoprene.


... because;
1) I'm not bothered by the 'clank clank' noise nor am I bothered by people that object to said clanking.The clanking was starting to piss me off


2) they get lost.Not if they fit properly.


3) Mizunos with bag chatter look cool.Mizunos are sufficiently chattered and are a real chick magnet


4) Only wankers use them.Um ... well there you go.

Tomson has already folded with his shiny new set on the way. We just gotta work more on Haysey. 8)

[Yossarian]

It's hard to avoid with Solarman in our midst. He's gay enough for all of us combined. :lol:

[Iain]

So the rest of you are just the gay sprinkles on top....

[Courty]

Nah, you'd have to meet Solarman to understand.

[PeteyD]

You don't need a spray tan to use head covers.

[Scottt]

BTW...i have ordered mine through ebay. Havent recieved them yet.

Why would you do that? You couldn't get too much bag chatter in the third of a round you play before you storm off, surely? :lol:

BWAHAHAHA, who cares what anyone else things after all your out on the golf course not some fashion parade or a gay bar contrary to what some people wear out there!!!

[mike]

What haysey thinks is important to me.

[grandmasterb]

What haysey thinks is important to me.

It shows in your handicap :mrgreen:

[mike]

Huh?

[grandmasterb]

Huh?

Well your obviously spending more time thinking/trying to get his approval than actually playing golf and its reflecting in your bad scores :twisted:

[mike]

Gee thanks.

I'm playing pretty good lately. Doesn't show does it.

Time to get rid of that sig.

[mike]

Done. Too much sensitive info there.

[grandmasterb]

Gee thanks.
