What GolfWRXers are saying about iron covers
In our forums, our members have been discussing iron covers with WRXer ‘anythingfinite’ championing the use of iron covers when walking. As a walker, ‘anythingfinite’ says
“I hated the sound of clubs clanking together with every step. So I used neoprene iron covers and endured the ridicule for years. They never, ever slowed my play as I average 18 holes in a little over 2.5hrs playing by myself. It was never about protecting resale value, just about the noise.”
And our members have been discussing iron covers and whether they currently use them or would be tempted to use them in the future.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- jvincent: “Clanking irons in the bag is like the sound of metal spikes on a path. It’s old school golf.”
- Z1ggy16: “Toss your club cleaning towel in the clubs to help stop them from clanking *as much*. You can also use your one hand to kind of hold some of them in place as you walk.”
- Windlaker_1: “I use the neoprene covers. Not for resale value, as I normally keep them so long they aren’t worth diddley-poo at that point. Use them to maintain a nice-looking set of irons.”
- MtlJeff: “I don’t really notice it that much when I walk, to be honest. Maybe its how I arrange my clubs….If the clanging is bothering me, you can just move the clubs slightly, and it usually mitigates it. But if you’re like, breakdancing down the fairway, tough to stop it.”
- puttingmatt: “It’s your choice. I use iron covers, lets me not forget a club around the green, as the cover in pocket is a quick reminder that something is a miss. Also, it’s a good way to protect your clubs, and at these prices, makes you wonder why not since woods and putters are sold with covers that are intended to be used. One other note, it may keep others from assessing what’s in the bag, and keep a thief wondering if the bag is worth the effort. Hate the feeling about club theft, but clubs are targets.”

I use iron covers on wedges and short irons…by putting the cover in my back pocket I never get to far away if I leave an iron behind as the cover is still in my pocket so if I grab a 9 iron on the next hole bingo there is a wedge cover already there I left the wedge at the last hole…

Not only do I put headcovers on my irons, I also put leashes on the headcovers so I don’t loose any. Am I the anti-Christ?

Love your post! As for me, I don’t want to stand over a “ratty” looking golf club.
