I have used iron covers for years. For one, they do keep the irons in much better shape. And two: keep my bag much quieter.  Especially when I used to walk. When time to sell my clubs for something newer, almost like I am selling a new set of irons. Up until recently, I never used a head cover on my driver, which in turn would end up getting beat up.  But recently I purchased a TM SIM 2 driver and it is such a great looking club that I now find myself replacing the head cover after each use.  
I do recommend the use of iron covers. And also, there is only one style iron cover I strongly recommend, as they are easy to use, and I have never had a single one lost per fall off an iron. "Iron Gloves"!   https://www.irongloves.com/iron-covers_8_48167.html

For me, I find ways for my golf to be cheap and affordable. When it comes to equipment, I have never purchased new clubs or clubs less than 2 or 3 years old. I usually purchase used clubs on ebay,  although on occasion at Golf Galaxy.  Being a southpaw, in the past I used to find clubs pretty cheap, as not many people were bidding on them. Things have changed a bit since the pandemic, as it seems more lefties are now playing and buying.  As for golf balls, I find a lot, but also buy them only for around $15 or less (I only play yellow or green balls.) As for playing, I use GolfNow almost exclusively and the majority of the time I am paying $15 or less per round including cart. I spend my summers down in Tampa where my sons live.  People always ask me why I go down there in the summer when it is so hot.  The reason is that golf in Florida during the summer is really cheap because it is not their prime time season.  Using GolfNow, I played many course for $10 to $15. Including World Woods, Champions Gate, etc.  This past summer I found  a great 3-month family membership for only $880, (July through September and the best part was it included the cart. I split the cost with one of my sons, and because we joined in the middle of July they pro-rated it for only $714  ($357 each). They are offering the same deal this summer.  And I play every day, so I was averaging about $8 per round including cart. 
And here is something for you folks to think about. I am a GolfNow Golf Pass member. The cost is $200 per year, but the first year was the only time I paid the $200.  Reason is that I play so much golf, that I keep earning $10 rewards, which I hardly use because you have to use them 3 days in advance, and that is not worth using them, because the rates are more expensive that far out on GolfNow. But the nice thing is that you can use those $10 rewards towards your annual Golf Pass membership.  And by the time my membership is due, I usually have accumulated 60 or more rewards.  So I use 20 of them for my membership, with no out of pocket membership expenses. Plus you automatically receive $10 monthly rewards as part of the membership that you can use any day and any time towards Hot Deals.  Also, as a Golf Pass member, I don't have to pay on-line fees which are $3.49 per round. Do the match: say I play just 100 rounds per year on GolfNow, I am saving $349 per year for on-line fees.  For me, Golf Pass/GolfNow is a win win for me. 
Also, Here's another trick: If you are willing to take the chance and try to make a last minute tee time, Find a course you want to play the next day, And wait until about 20 past midnight when the rates usually drop down about $10 or more.  No guarantee those tee times you are interested in won't be sold out, but the majority of the time they are still available. 
So that is how golf is not expensive for me.
 
 

I recently purchased a LH SIM2 driver off ebay.  Just the head, head cover and adapter wrench. Paid a total of $122 including shipping and tax. Took my M2 driver shaft and installed it on the SIM2. The shaft is a e42 lite Bassara. Easily fit.  But have yet to hit it. Looks great though!  Am now looking to get a 3W and Hybrid 3-4-5-6 in either women's or senior flex. My irons are Cleveland Launcher HB irons  8-PW with women lite flex shafts. My 7 is an Adams transition hybrid. I have an Adams Idea tech Gap Wedge, which I am thinking of getting rid of as I hardly use it, and when I do, don't hit it very well. I also have a Taylormade RSI graphite shafted sand wedge.
Recovering from a fractured right side of my pelvis and multiple fractured ribs from a head on accident back on December 21. Started hitting balls in my back yard and am walking about a mile daily with a cane. Hoping to be ready to play by April Fools!

I play almost every day I can during the season, and average over 200 rounds per year. At age 80, I have no illusions of getting much better than I already am. I feel that playing over 200 rounds per year gives me all the practice I need. 

I had lessons only twice with different PGA club pros. Instead of trying to work with what I have and just  making small tweaks, both tried to completely change my swing. So that was that. I hardly use a driving range. But I play alone frequently, so when no one is behind me, that is when I practice-especially approach shots, as a weakness in my game is greens in regulation. And will take time to practice on greens out on the course. I usually have found that practice putting greens do not emulate green conditions on the course. I am now 80 years old and am a high 70 to low 80s shooter. .

Don't know why you wouldn't want to play the reds, unless its because most call them women's tees.  But to me, don't care what they have called them in the past.  And in fact many courses now have gotten away from calling the front tees "women's". And because of that, many are not painting the front tees red anymore. But regardless, you should go ahead and play the tees you are most comfortable with and have fun with and enjoy the most. I play the front tees without any embarrassment.  The course I have a summer membership in down in Tampa the back tees are over 6,900 yards and the front tees (red there) are 4,832. But often when I am playing other courses with my sons, the front tees are well over 5,000 yards, and my scores suffer--probably over 8 strokes worse, which is challenging enough to make it not fun!
