Too lazy, couldn't be bothered.
Use Your Putter Headcover!
They give you a headcover for a reason... use it.
I would like in on this round w/ @LeftyGolferWI since we have talked about playing together next year @Canadan
Whoa there. Let’s not get crazy now
I prefer the worn in look. Covers be damned. 
So you're protecting the putter with a cover but what are you doing to protect the cover from abuse and wear from the elements. Do you buy a second, or more, identical cover during original purchase.

I cannot believe that some people don’t use a putter cover. That is crazy.
i tend to see it more in people riding carts but a couple push carters I know get tired of putting it off and on. Not my bag, baby. Cover as I am walking off green.
The ones I will make exception for, and I see this occasionally, some oldster roll up with a minigolf putter manufactured around 1940 that is chipped and cracked and dented and rolling in everything they look at before being unceremoniously rammed back in the bag

I agree... Heck, I always use my prized USCG putter head cover on my old 1983 Ping B60!

I’m constantly yelling at someone at our course about it
I’m in the camp of always using a putter cover unless I am actually putting with it.
Places where I use a caddy (especially if they are double bagging), I’ll ask them when we start to just hand me the putter with the cover on and I will take it off. I’ll explain why to them and that I appreciate most of the time they will have multiple clubs in their hands and it is difficult not to let them hit the putter head. Since I use mallet putters (including a DF3), that makes it even more difficult given how big they are. It is amazing how un-natural it is for most caddies to do that so I understand when they forget. One polite reminder is usually all it takes to reinforce it.

Even worse I have friends that do this with their drivers … painful ….
There are 2 people I've played with in the last couple weeks who don't use putter covers. One is a 94 year old man with shaky hands who has trouble taking the cover off. The other is one of my buddies who has a LAB Oz1i armlock that towers over all of the other clubs in his bag so doesn't get much bag chatter anyways

These threads crack me up
More like ruined it.
I play with some guys who have more money that sense. I also pains me to see a putter clanging around in the bag. Even worse is when non-putter cover guy slams his $500 putter in his bag because he just 3-putt.
Me too. When covering playing clubs is being discussed this image comes to mind. It was only taken off when company came over.
Agree a million percent! The sounds of woods banging together is like nails on a chalkboard.
What kind of Heathen doesn't cover their putter??
It is probably the club I show the most care too.

I use the putter cover that came with my PXG Bat Attack putter. Say what you will about PXG, but they don't skimp on headcovers! The headcovers I have gotten with the drivers from them are outstanding as well. They all hold up well, and I really like the built-in magnets, especially on the putter cover closure as opposed to them using Velcro.
I play with people who do both.... I don't understand it....
Alway use your putter cover.
I let me stepson use my backup set - including a very good putter which always has a cover on it. I noticed after a few holes of our first round together that he sacked the head cover - could not believe it. And he is 35 yr old. Just careless and inconsiderate.
