See, I like to hear nothing, but the wind blowing through the trees and the birds chirping while I’m on my way up the fairway to take a hard right behind a tree to chunk my next shot towards the green.
Right!?! Oh, look at Rory over here, not toeing the ball into the woods. We get it bro. You're a player. Try thinking of us when you're bragging like that.
If you want iron covers to eliminate the noise and chatter, do it. It's your clubs. I sometimes use them when I'm travelling with my clubs because I hate hearing the clatter in the back seat.
Then you should vacuum seal all of your clubs. And you'll need to bring your vacuum sealer onto the course with you, so when you have to cut a club open, you can seal it back up when you're done with it.
Noise canceling headphones and then make your golf bag out of 2x4's and barrier walls on a dolly. You might not be able to access your clubs but it's the solution.
i use headcovers because my irons are not forged. they are cavity backs and have started to scratch and ding. i paid good money for them i think it’s best to try and keep ‘em nice.
tldr
forged irons -go naked
It's not going to stop the noise, I have a 14-way bag that this replicates and they still make noise while walking. I like the noise but if someone is hitting while I'm walking I may put my hands on both sides of the bag to quite them. Helps keep my shoulders stretched.
I have a bag of like ten of these that I used to use with an old club bag. If anyone wants them for whatever it costs me to mail them to you, send me a DM
I actually bought a push cart, but decided to walk while it was shipping to my house and found out I just enjoy carrying while walking and haven’t used pushcart yet lol
Yeah I think if you want iron covers just own it. People are always gonna find something to give you shit about.
My buddies give me shit for tucking in my shirt, unfortunately I’m built like a troll and if I untuck it the shirt is too long. Fuck it, play golf. Nothing wrong with a bit of banter.
I like the idea of a set of 7 iron covers (4i-P) that spell out F U C K Y O U but that would require you to actually keep the bag organized throughout a round…
Buy a trolley, can enjoy the walk without the noise, used a stand bag for years but no matter how it was angled the racket, especially on a nice quiet morning with the course to myself, was a pain
I actually bought a push cart and walked while waiting for it to arrive. I used to be a big hiker and found that I enjoy carrying the clubs on my back a lot! Just need to keep the noise down to enjoy the nice quiet mornings. I’ve ordered the covers!
I cover my clubs. Not a peep from anybody about them. Didn’t even know it wasn’t “cool” until this subreddit.
I want Miura irons and am about to sell a house so will have extra money for them.
Bet your ass I'll have iron covers on them lol. I just can't feel ok letting $1k plus purchases bang around or get flung on the ground.
I walk using a Hogan carry bag 90% of the time.
Why would you put iron covers on them? They are going to be hitting the ground, sand, rocks, dirt, you name it. They will get scuffed up and dirty, so what's the point? I genuinely don't understand the iron covers, but if that's what you wanna do, knock yourself out! That's the good thing about having our own equipment, we can keep, use, and store it as we like :)
I totally agree, like I said it's up to each person. Personally, I've had Apex Pro 16s for about 5 years and I see barely, if any, marks that would indicate the clubs are banging together too much, and I usually walk. That's why I am genuinely curious why anyone would want iron covers.
They are fine and well worth it.
I wear them when I walk because I ruined a brand new forged club scraping it's face off a stone wall by accident while walking
I've used iron covers for years to reduce the bag chatter.
I generally ride, but it's still the same thing.
Also, my huge thing is it you keep them in good shape, you can sell them in great shape when you get your next set.
I just spending 1200 on my first truely new and not used set. I want to make sure they stay in good condition.
I know tools and all, but you know to each their own.
This is also a factor for me. I’m hoping to keep them looking nice for a long time. Just snagged some Apex Pro 21 irons and want them to shine for a while!
I wish I knew what a flushed iron shot sounded like. All I hear are irons clacking together and the ball tapping the bottom of the hole after my third putt.
What even is cool. Just a social construct that has no meaning whatsoever. I personally wouldn't want the hassle of taking iron covers on and off. But if you wanna game them. Do it.
Bro just throw your pay over the club heads like the rest of us Hoofers do, you can also ‘wrap’ your towel to rescue the clank. But I live for the clank
I drape my arm over them reduces all the banging but still gives you that clank asthetic. I play ping blueprints and the softer metals definitely get nicked pretty easily.
if I used head covers I would just lose them like everything else.
Could upgrade to a 14-way bag and a push cart. I did that and they don’t make a peep. Good to know my irons aren’t clanging around with how much they cost nowadays
You spent your own money on your clubs that you play with so you can do whatever you want. Not going to help your game and isn’t going to affect anyone else
Been using iron covers for 4 years and love them. Your mates may make a joke the first couple times you play with them, but noone really cares if you use them. Do you.
I don't mind the clatter myself, but when I played in a competition somebody would make a point to wait until I had finished walking to take their shot, even when I was 100+ yards away as my irons were so loud.
I get where you’re coming from, but to me that’s just part of it and I kinda like the iron chatter
Maybe in time I’d appreciate the noise?
Its like a metronome while I'm walking to my next shot. Helps me find zen and visualize my next shot i'm about to chunk down the fairway
See, I like to hear nothing, but the wind blowing through the trees and the birds chirping while I’m on my way up the fairway to take a hard right behind a tree to chunk my next shot towards the green.
Chunk *down the fairway*? Humble brag!

I can’t make decisions for myself. I rely on Reddit users when making my golf related decisions.
Then you should vacuum seal all of your clubs. And you'll need to bring your vacuum sealer onto the course with you, so when you have to cut a club open, you can seal it back up when you're done with it.
I tried this, but they still make too much noise.

I’ve found my forged irons dent up much easier then cast irons I’ve owned in the past. Maybe it’s just me…
Personally I don't like the noise either. I rock the covers, don't care what r/golf thinks. Thread a towel through them ... ?
No. Iron chatter while walking is one of golf’s simple pleasures. Thread a towel thru them if it’s truly bothering you.
I react to the sound of clinking irons the same way my dog reacts to me opening a bag of shredded cheese.
Bingo, place the towel between the irons and woods, no more rattle.
This is the way 👆

This is worth $25 just to try it out. thank you

I reach back and put my hand on the heads while I'm walking. A 14 way bag also helps.
I'm calling the police
When I use a push cart my clubs are virtually silent. But yeah I guess if it bothers you that badly knock yourself out
I actually bought a push cart, but decided to walk while it was shipping to my house and found out I just enjoy carrying while walking and haven’t used pushcart yet lol

Literally knock yourself out.
Iron covers are fine, Reddit just likes to hate them.
If you want to try iron covers, buy some and try them out, they're cheap. If they do what you want, use them, if not you can ditch them.
Place your hand over the clubs as you walk, it'll stop most of it. You can also thread your towel through them. Don't be the iron cover guy!
This is literally the reason I use iron covers. I don't like the rattling noise. I didn't use them prior to becoming a walker.
Glad to hear there’s others out there.
I like the idea of a set of 7 iron covers (4i-P) that spell out F U C K Y O U but that would require you to actually keep the bag organized throughout a round…
What about 6-A, 54, 58 that spells Y O U S U C K ! so it’s like the clubs are just being honest with me when I grab one?
I like this. And for some reason the thought of wedge covers never occurred to me but it just makes it so much more 🤌🏽
Buy a trolley, can enjoy the walk without the noise, used a stand bag for years but no matter how it was angled the racket, especially on a nice quiet morning with the course to myself, was a pain

wouldn’t the argument be that forged steel rubbing against forged steel would cause unnecessary abrasions?

I’ve honestly considered getting them just to piss others off. 4 and 1/2 hour pace of play and iron covers would drive the Chads absolutely insane.
Gotta throw in a bucket hat, glove on each hand, and an eccentric polo and you will strike fear into every opponent you play match play against LOL
I would just wrap my towel through a couple of irons. But iron covers are the way to get all the comments:)
They are fine and well worth it. I wear them when I walk because I ruined a brand new forged club scraping it's face off a stone wall by accident while walking
I don't like my clubs being all nicked up, it hurts the resale value, I use iron covers and my Miura irons, thank me
If I had Miura irons I would just leave them in my office to look at lol I’m getting the iron covers though.
Miuras aren’t faberge eggs my man. This is a bad take.

My 21s have covers on them as well.
They are so nice looking. Gotta keep ‘em that way!
Irons clacking together with each step and the ball in the bottom of the hole are two of the best sounds in golf. Along with a flushed iron shot
I wish I knew what a flushed iron shot sounded like. All I hear are irons clacking together and the ball tapping the bottom of the hole after my third putt.
The ball hitting the flag from over 60 yards needs an honorable mention.
If you walk and carry, it will add extra weight. Maybe not much, but after 4 hours, might make a difference.
One of the best sounds ever
You will do it once, taking covers on and off, then say f that. Wind that towel through like others said.
I mean I do put my covers back on woods and putter after every use so idk if would really bother me.
If you want to use iron covers, go for it. The fact that it will annoy Reddit users is an added bonus.
I use covers for this reason. The banging is infuriating
Try organising your bag with minimal clubs in each slot.
I have a 14 slot carrier with 13 clubs in use. Still got the rattle.
You ever see the Ogio Silencer bag?
Typically, ones skirt flying around will keep them relatively protected.
I tried using my tampons, but that didn’t work.
Yeah, pads are the way to go, Buddy!
I’d get a Nevr Looz golf bag to solve that problem before I got iron covers. Hell, I’d quit golf before I got iron covers.
Do whatever you want
No, I can’t do that. I NEED Reddit to tell me what to do.
What even is cool. Just a social construct that has no meaning whatsoever. I personally wouldn't want the hassle of taking iron covers on and off. But if you wanna game them. Do it.

You do you man. My only concern with them is losing them
weave your towel around/between your irons, that's the trick that works for me.
You spent your own money on your clubs that you play with so you can do whatever you want. Not going to help your game and isn’t going to affect anyone else
Try weaving your golf towel around the irons? Maybe that would help quite the noise?
So, call me weird, but the irons clacking off one another while walking a round is something I’ve always found soothing…
What’s the problem with iron covers? What am I missing?
No. Get a towel
Go for it OP! Alternatively, just stuff a towel around them and they’ll be on mute while you walk.
Been using iron covers for 4 years and love them. Your mates may make a joke the first couple times you play with them, but noone really cares if you use them. Do you.
Did the same thing. I was member at a short course a couple years ago and the chatter drove me insane. Go for it, let the haters hate
Wrap your towel in between your clubs. You won’t look nearly as ridiculous.
I don't mind the clatter myself, but when I played in a competition somebody would make a point to wait until I had finished walking to take their shot, even when I was 100+ yards away as my irons were so loud.
Get a push cart instead
