The pros get new ones any time they wantOh, and my golf clubs HAVE to have covers on the heads. It's not really the sound of them clanking together driving down the fairway as much as it is knowing that I paid $600 for a set of irons, and every "clink" sound feels like a Ball Peen Hammer hitting them in my head. If I loose a cover on the course, I'll go to the clubhouse and sift through the lost and found, and if I can't find my cover, I'll buy another one. I'd bet I have six different covers on the same set of irons, and the numbers don't match anymore. For example, My 58* wedge has a 9 iron cover on it, and so does my 9i. It gets real confusing after a few beers. My buddies just shake their heads and say if the pros don't cover their clubs, you don't need to either. Lol
I've been meaning to get covers for my new set of sticks but the ribbing I'll get from the boys is what's making me delay buying them....
