A career of lost head covers
Monday February 9, 2009 | 20:58:52 294 words, 2278 views
There’s only one thing worse than losing a golf club while playing a course … Losing a head cover. Wedges and putters left by the green can be replaced easily enough, often for $120 or less. Losing them on purpose almost sounds like a good idea. Then you can beg your wife (or husband) to go buy a newer, better model. But losing a head cover is like losing a family member. I lost another one recently – snoopy. Losing man’s best friend was the only downer on an otherwise fabulous visit to Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Snoopy, like so many Pro-V1s, was somehow gobbled up by the Ocean course never to be found again. He’s just the latest line in a career of lost head covers. He was only in my bag because I stole him from my wife’s set (she never plays any more). He was used to replace “Eagle,” a wonderful pet from Olympic View Golf Club on Vancouver Island. Eagle replaced “Monster,” a gift from my children. Monster was an exact replica of the fluffy, red-haired creature in those old-school Bugs Bunny cartoons. Remember him? Monster replaced “Flipper,” the first head cover I ever bought. Flipper was awesome, a dolphin that served as a symbol of my undying (now dead) love for the Miami Dolphins and Dan Marino. I think the only reason the headcover business is still in business is to replace all the lost head covers of the world. I wonder what I’ll buy next … I’m open to suggestions. I couldn’t dare show up at a 5-star golf course without some personality in my bag … and we all know I’m not talking about my playing ability. What ever happened to the Tiger in Mr. Woods’ bag. Is it for sale? Comments:

Some of those damned head covers are so top-heavy that they are aching to fall off. I like the rocket tour covers...they are frilly retro balls of string that find a way to stay on. However, I have a treasured Demon Deacon cover that I constantly find myself checking on, texting and IMing, to make sure he is still protecting my driver.
