Golf Headcovers | Take Off the Stock Headcover

If you are a golfer, you know that ever driver, three wood, five wood, hybrid, and putter comes with a golf headcover. They are included for good reason: golf headcovers help to protect your clubs from pounding each other and destroying the face of the club, from pounding each other and destroying the face of the club and they help you make a statement on the golf course. But the stock golf headcover you get with each club do one thing that can potentially cause you big problems - they advertise to everyone around exactly what type of club you have. This makes some people jealous but makes some people opportunistic.

For example, you get your new Titleist D2 driver (which I own by the way) and are all pumped to take it out to the course. When you get to the course you drop your clubs off outside, just like everyone else does, and go inside to pay for your golf, get your logo golf ball (you should always get a logo golf ball), and buy beers. Because you are so pumped about your new club you proudly display your new Titleist D2 headcover. Once you are finished making all of your purchases you come outside, and guess what, your driver is still there! Thank goodness. Or so you think.

As you walk up to the first tee you are pumped because you are about to rock this new driver of yours. You get out of the cart (or put your bag on the ground), grab that new Titleist D2 driver and rip the headcover off, only to see a used knock off underneath! What in the world happened? What happened was someone ran off with your driver, replacing it with an old dodgy one. And why did he replace it and put a different driver in your bag? Because he knew it would take you forever to find out it was gone!

How do you prevent this? Easy. Get yourself a headcover that matches your style. Unless the stock headcover matches your style, you will put a headcover on that makes no statement about what club is underneath. Although I would argue that the college golf headcover you put on can make a determination about what type of club you have (K-State is terrible!), and an animal golf headcover might be a little over the top, you can almost be 100% assured that your driver is safe. Why is that? Because there are tons of people running around out there with the stock headcovers on. And if a thief had a decision between a sure thing and a maybe, what do you think they'll take?

So, go out there and get a golf headcover that represents your style. It is cool and it might save your clubs from getting stolen.
