Why Don't You Use Iron Covers?

Have you ever seen them throw golf bags around at an airport when they load the planes?
Yes I have, but they are inside my bag, the rain hood is on and inside a travel bag as well.
 
No iron covers for me. They don’t look good. I have no issues if people use them. Different strokes for different folks lol.
 
They are the same. Not the no cleaning, you need to have clean grooves
Do I need them if I only make contact on the toe outside of the grooves?

I dont see how that prevents the club heads from banging into each other. A hard case would be good but they are still clanging around inside
 
They do make sense. But golf is hard enough without having to take a cover off every.single.shot
 
Went to the range yesterday in sunny Arizona. A guy walks up to the stall next to mine and puts his large cart bag on the bag stand. I am not really paying attention to him. I turn around to use the club washer and see he has his rain cover on the bag. Odd. He opens up the rain cover and has iron covers. OK. He takes a wedge out pulls off the cover puts it in his back pocket then zips up the rain cover. I had to look away. I then wanted to see if he would do this for every club he pulls and yup he does. The crazy thing was he didn't clean his irons before putting the iron covers back on.
 
I have several bags, one of which is a 14-way Ping Pioneer bag. She's got a lot of miles on her. I use that bag on my Yamaha golf cart as it helps keep the shafts of my irons from rubbing all over each other. I live in a golf community so I drive my cart to the courses (often miles from my house) so there is a lot of activity for the clubs to see. If walking or push carting, I use either my Ping Hoofer or my Sun Mountain lightweight bag.
Never liked iron covers. Just me but I don't like having to take the cover on and off. I'm real certain I'd come home down a couple in short order, especially if I had a few wobbly-pops on the course.
 
I'm okay with iron covers but do not use them myself. They add weight to the bag and I carry when I walk.

A bag with a lot of miles on it usually has an odor
 
Iron covers are more polarizing
I think you’re on to something here. Polarized iron covers! (to protect your clubs from harmful UV rays)

This could be worth millions. I say we take it to Shark Tank.
 
:ROFLMAO:
This one is all good. Aired out regularly and don't store gloves in it.
not sure i believe you. Hit that thing with some febreeze or a flame thrower
 
If anyone should use them it should be Pros and they don’t. I don’t see the need.
 
14 way bags are the worst
 
14 way bags are the worst
I played 6 & 8 way bags for 40 some years. The last 10 years I have been playing 14 ways, and I like them. No more grips getting beaten up and tangled. It makes sense, just like using hanging files in a drawer makes sense as opposed to just tossing papers in there and hunting for the one you want every time.
 
Woods need covers for protection otherwise they look like crap quickly. Irons are made to be more durable. Therefore unnecessary.
 
I wouldn’t be caught dead with iron covers. Essentially negative swag. Zero cool. Super lame. (No offense to any of you out there that go that route).

I love a 14 way divider bag though. I hated how the clubs laid in a 4 and 6 way. The 14 keeps it organized and in the order I like it.

I find golf shoes have an odor, especially after a damp outing. I bang the crap out of the soles to remove as much gunk as possible, but they sometimes still stink.

Which would tell you a golf bag does too.
 
I don’t tend to play in the cold. So, if I’m not wearing gloves why should my irons. They come off my woods after the first hole. Based on how they behave they are the spoiled brats of the bag.

People can be on thp regardless of what they like.

Watch someone have to put 2 wedges and a putter away from the green and tell me iron covers are slower. Covers slide on quickly

It’s mentioned more than once in 14 way threads
After you slide your iron covers on so quickly don't you still have to take the time to put your clubs back in the bag?

I've been converted partially to the anti 14 side for carry bags but am on the fence still with a cart bag.

I have no desire to ever use iron covers but we all use putter covers don't we? Is that not the equivalent of a putter well?
