Headcovers and Their Stories


Recommended Posts

Daphne all the way.

Our families don't have a lot of money so these were cheap gift suggestions. Quail- live in AZ, Buffalo-went to CU, Tiger-everyone should have one, Sea Otter, met my wife in Monterey and the aquarium was our first date.

Second photo is my wife's winter cat collection. And yes, there are a full set of cat summer covers.

Not all the headcovers but the ones that are currently "in the bag" except the (smaller) putter headcover that has been in retirement since L.A.B.

Indoor golf is currently at Golf Dojo on Tuesday nights in Williamsville NY and next Saturday in the Rochester begins 6 weeks at Wildwood CC in Rush NY, both using simulators with PGA Pros as guides on the sides making the sessions all about Veterans getting together with golf as the reason.  [Shameless plug] If you are Veteran and interested, contact your local PGA Headquarters and find out if they have a HOPE program and inquire about their scheduled events.

Was quite fortunate when I joined the MGS Forum Staff Adam sent out a welcome kit of some kit. It included both a camo driver headcovers which I loved (i do already own one) and the blade red spy headcover. Which I've used on my 2 iron. 

Happy to rep my mgs gear and tell the story of where it came from!

No pix to share but I favor the knit covers for an ole school look.  I also have this "thing" about using OEM covers as it advertises your clubs in the bag for that guy who may be looking for a 5 finger discount at the club corral. had it happen & seen it done & with drivers upwards of $600 someone walking away with a driver is not good! The best OEM head cover ever were the Cleveland barrel head cover, so easy to pull on & off.  Some head covers are a wrestling match.  A shout out to PXG covers which are also great with the magnet & pretty easy/off.  Just advertising PXG, even if it's not  PXG club under the hood, goes back to my fears of being ripped off at the cart corral or while traveling.

Putter cover is a Banksy pulp fiction work which was a xmas gift from the kids to replace the generic OEM cover. They know how much I like the movie and though it was cool (I also have the "Bad Mother F***er" wallet 🙂 from them). The driver cover is a BFM (Bill F***ing Murray) from the Chivery. I picked it up on clearance to avoid shipping charges while shopping for funny t-shirts a few years back.  It's become pretty rare, and I've fielded some serious $$ unsolicited offers for it on the course.  Finally the 3W is a daphne's panda which the kids liked.  Hybrid cover is a replacement for the Cleveland Mashie sock that wasn't built to last 12 years.  It's my 200 yard club and even though I try to replace it every season, it finds its way back into the bag.

I like to mix mine up every now and then.  My favorite is the Links and Kings (FJ USA RED/WHITE/BLUE) which I will usually go with the Titleist Single Red Star Blue Fairway, White Titleist Red X Hybrid and R/W/B Diamond Folds of Honor Hybrid.  Usually use the White Eagle putter headcover from the collection from Pebble Beach.  The tan one is from our course, Charleston Municipal, no. 19 rated muni is the US.  Image 1 for drivers, 2 fairways, 3 hybrids, 4 putters and 5 stock headcovers that came with my equipment that I currently game.   It is so easy to go with R/W/B or black combinations.  A number of these have significant meaning, gifts from special friends.

In years past I had a nice collection of puppets as headcovers but gave them to my granddaughters to play with when they were small.  Had a Kermit Frog, Odie Dog and a Giraffe.  Think I bought them at Hallmark.  hey got a lot of enjoyment out of them.  Found some from the Masters and the US Open  that date back into the 90s in my case of collectables.  Old style and no longer use them.

I never use the OEM headcovers on my driver. For that club, I’ve had a series of college mascots. My first was a Notre Dame leprechaun and then Herky the Hawkeye. I recently changed to the black bear below. You can play dead in a grizzly bear attack, but you have to fight a black bear if you want to survive. (There’s a competition metaphor in here somewhere). For my fairways, I usually use the OEM headcover but I’ve been looking to replace it. Hopefully, I’ll have a good origin story for it when I find it. C2EB8172-5285-4A87-BBB2-FAEC73625432.jpeg.ed36a2cee3f58ac609f9635f637e3df7.jpeg

Driver, 5 wood and hybrid are all black Dormie covers with my golf clubs logo.

Had been reading posts on this forum long before I signed up as a member.  I figured it was worth a decent donation for the money I saved by buying the best equipment for my game.  Adam sent me a bag of tees as well as a great putter cover I still use today.

Last fall I got a good deal on a Bettinardi glow in the dark skeleton putter cover in case I ever lose the MGS cover.

My driver is pretty self explanatory for anyone that knows me, it’s my dog. 

outside of that I’d like to start a Scotty Cameron St Paddy’s day putter head cover collection to rotate in the bag throughout the year

Nice!  Same thing here.  Meet Jasper!

The other unique cover is an octopus , which is a gift from my awesome wife from last Father’s Day and representative of my drumming hobby.

Great thread topic here.

Like many of us,  my dad taught me to golf.  He was your average golfer,  self taught and self confident in a way I'll never be. He celebrated every holed putt as if it came with a green jacket draped over a Clarett jug. His entire wardrobe consisted of sandals and Hawaiian shirts.  He was a great dad.

When he passed away my wife got out her sewing machine and turned some of his Hawaiian shirts into driver covers for me and my uncle.  She included the buttons the old stains and lots of memories. I take him golfing with me every time out.

She has since turned this into a small business. Creating custom 1 off head covers from  old blankets,  t shirts,  high school jerseys or other designs by request
