My glove comes off after every shot (not into the back pocket though as it would probably fall out!). The reason is that I didn't do it last summer and ended up with one very brown hand and one very white one. My wife says she was embarrassed to be seen with me because of it and it is now a 'condition of being allowed out to play'

The 'Golfers hand' should be worn like a badge of honor not hidden away or masked by constant glove on/off behaviour!
Next you'll tell us that you are allowed to play if you promise to use fake tan on the left hand

Woods and hybrids are painted. Chipped paint looks bad. Irons are bare metal.

I think everyone knows that there's plenty logos, design infils, decals & paint on your average iron head these days especially any cavity backed

I've got too used to looking at my clubs. I forgot that there are now lots of irons out there that have 'decorations' that could become damaged.
Recommend covers for those, preferably ones without windows as they look better with the covers on.

I just looked at the lovey looking JPX850's and can only cringe when I imagine tapping that blue infill section with a piece of metal a couple of hundred times

Forged Irons are soft metal and mark easy...............could be wrong, but I think thats the reason for the covers.

Agree 100% that they mark easy.
To some that is important, and to others it isn't, hence some use covers and some don't.
I think most would be bothered about chipped paint on a wood or hybrid though, so more headcovers on those. I was just trying to point out that difference.

I know..............manufaturers should make forged irons with dinks already on them. They'll sell like hotcakes......not.

I'm sold, I'm off to buy some!!:thup:
I need preserve the resale value of my 3yr old cast callaways.
I also feel, now I'm pushing on a bit, that I'm happy to lose the last thread of self respect that I'm clinging on to??
Where do you buy them? And should I get the ones with little windows so I can see what iron I'm pulling out?

Good man, be prepared to spend up to £20 on a good set & it'll take 2 shots off your handicap (my pro told me) if you compare clatter levels on the trackman before and after you'll be amazed

Remember you will need to thin every iron shot, otherwise you might ding them when you take a divot. Mind you I suppose the lack of bag chatter will offset the fall in value when you hit a stone.:thup:

Does anybody seriously buy golf clubs with the main consideration being re-sale value?

Not the main consideration........but I got a good price for my old MP53s because they were in great nick. Don't know anyone who wants clubs with clatter marks on then. I'm sure golfbidder prices vary due to condition and I don't see "great condition, plenty clatter marks".............just like most other things, condition is a big factor.
No point in shouting about new clubs to then have them clatter off each other. Buy second hand if you want them to look that way.

In the end, some will look more scuffed than others. That is also not a great look.
