A specialized head protector for a specific style of golf club, this accessory safeguards the mallet-shaped putter head from scratches, dents, and other environmental damage during transport and storage. These headcovers are often crafted from materials like leather, neoprene, or durable synthetic fabrics and secure the putter head using magnetic closures, Velcro, or elastic bands.
Protecting the club head preserves the putter’s finish and overall condition, which can extend its lifespan and maintain its resale value. Furthermore, using one clearly identifies the putter within a golf bag, making club selection easier during a round. Historically, simple knitted covers were used; however, modern designs offer superior protection and aesthetic appeal.
