golf club covers

[juldea]

Dear friends who are familiar with golfing,

How many clubs out of a standard set of golf clubs are traditionally worn with a cover? Three? The, uh, drivers?

{EDIT}

I desire to make (yay knitting) covers for my dad's clubs. I don't know what he has. I would like to know how many covers to make, and how many stripes (to designate the 'number' of the club) to put on each.

The best way would be to have someone peek into his bag and take a look, and report back to you. Failing that, a set of four, numbered 1 to 4, should cover all likely possibilities. Others report below that #2 is often missing, so you might save that one for last. :)

When I golfed, I carried a #1 and #3 wood, and #3, #5, #7 and #9 irons, and a putter. But I had a fairly light bag (I walked the course, and carried my clubs).

Hrm... The only person in the position to peek into his bag is his wife, and I'm making her a set too. ;)

Thanks for the info though!

...instead of my mom...should have tipped me off---make her set plaid or something then.

They're getting different colors of stripes. :)
