"Dummy" Putter Headcovers


Recommended Posts

Only 2 head covers that I use....Stitch for my blade style heads  , Rose and Fire for my mid-mallet heads...all my " Tour Only " , GSS , and " Prototype " covers reside in a box , having never seen the golf course....also have custom plain black magnetic closure covers for my Driver , fwys , and hybrids..

Depends on the course and the putter I'm bringing. I have a few kinda generic or worn head covers I've gotten buying used putters that I'll use. But also my friends and I always leave 1 guy with the bags just in case.

Depending on how I putt that day I may be begging someone to steal the damn thing, lol.  At least then I can buy a new one.  
 

In all seriousness I’ve always used my Scotty and Betti headcovers without issue.  My Scotty cover is a murdered out model so someone would have to look real hard to know what it is and, believe it or not, Bettinardi is not a really well known brand, at least around here.  I could ask 10 guys and maybe 1 would know what the large hex B on my cover meant.
 

 The only putter I’ve ever had stolen was an old circa 1980 Ping anser that I left beside my bag when I went to get a drink.  It had no headcover.

This is what’s on pretty much all the putters when they go in the bag.   Matches all my other covers so it doesn’t stand out.  I still have heart palpitations when I game my tour rat and I’ve taken the putter into the clubhouse with me if I know I’m going to be away from my bag for a bit.

I picked up three fake (doesn't have the wording Titleist on bottom) Scotty Cameron Jackpot Johnny blade head covers for $17 each on Amazon three years ago. I figured if I loose it I'm only out $17 

I won't put a Scotty head cover on my T22 NP2, just to costly to have someone take out of your bag.

Same here. Both my Scotty putters have generic eBay head covers (that are magnetic!). To be fair I put nondescript headcovers on all my woods too.

Titleist TSR2 10 Hzrdus Red CB

Me too, my first putter was a TaylorMade Ghost Tour, it didn't came with a cover, so i bought a fake orange jackpot johnny cover just because it looks cool. A few weeks ago i was lucky to find a left handed Scotty Cameron California Del Mar, it comes with the cover but instead i used the johnny cover because i looked at the price on ebay of the california headcover and it goes for $200 lol so i'm not risking using the cover.

I am not sure that "Toulon" screams steal me, Scotty does for sure however. I use generic stealth headcovers for all my woods. 

Stroke lab Toulon's go for about $400, regular shaft around $250-$300. Of course, I don't pay retail but nevertheless. You'd hope that there is honor amongst fellow golfers but you never know.

Betti is also not a known brand around here--- Ask 10 people around here and MAYBE one will know

What headcover is this?

Yep - I put a plain black headcover on mine. Super inconspicuous.

 

No name brand covers on my woods either: one college, one state flag, one from a course in Ireland. But most of my woods are pretty old, so it's not really for anti-theft, but more that I don't favor mfr headcovers that much. Sort of an I'm paying them, they're not paying me type of thing. So I'm going to go with what I think is most fun.

Like the OP, I've got the same mindset as well.  Even though most of my clubs are old, I put generic headcovers on all my clubs to discourage theft, especially my putter which is probably worth the most (but not by much).  

10.5 deg Titleist 905R with stock UST Proforce V2 Shaft (Stiff flex)
Titleist 990 (3-PW) with stock Dynamic Gold in S300
Taylormade V-Steel 5W & 3W with Grafalloy Prolaunch Red shafts (Regular Flex)
2011 Adams Tom Watson signature wedges in 52 and 56 degrees with stock steel shafts (Player's Grind)
Rife Island Series Aruba Blade Putter

It would depend on where you play and if you leave your bag unattended for extended periods of time. I’m a member at a private club and rarely leave my bag unattended so it’s not something I really think about. If I do travel somewhere else I don’t use the bag drop and I carry my bag myself to and from the car. If I go have a drink I take it to the car first. 

Public or private. if I wanted to put generic covers on I'd use generic clubs. Branding is a status symbol especially a golfwrx'r wants to show they have the latest and greatest

I took that comment to mean that most non-WRX golfers have never heard of Toulon so they aren't likely to grab it. Whereas most non-WRX golfers have all heard of Scotty Cameron and/or know that they are valuable.

Me. Years ago I had Newport stolen right out of my bag from the bag drop at Legends in Myrtle Beach. At the time - and I assume its still there - they had three or four massive bag drops all together in one area out front. Dozens of people milling around coming and going, cars pulling up and taking off - and not to "victim blame" but I had a yellow headcover on it to boot. Last time I've ever used a bag drop at a public course.

Man, crazy. I honestly am probably a bit naive on these topics, but I've never actually left my clubs sitting at a drop or anywhere post round that I can think of. Not out of fear, just out of habit that I'll carry my stuff, or when the round is over we'll go to the car and toss the sandals on or something.

I don't think I've ever played at a course where this was a big concern. That said I never have the stock "advertising" cover on my putters, it's either Rose & Fire, Seamus, or Muni Kids.

 

All of my wood covers are aftermarket as well, but now I wonder if known aftermarket covers would also entice a would-be klepto.

I don’t really care how many it’s happened to, one is too many if its mine. If I had a 700 dollar steal me Cameron tour cover on a 4000 dollar putter, your asking for it.    Not everyone here plays private clubs everyday..... I play 90% of my rounds at muni’s.

When I'm using my Scotty, I used an older beat up Nike headcover, nobody in their right mind would steal a old Nike retail putter......
