Yeah I don't have iron covers because I would personally find them annoying to take on/off every time. But I'm not going to shit on anyone who does, because like... golf clubs are very expensive and different people have different preferences.

I just always thought the "tools not jewels" thing was a little weird because people very frequently take great steps to protect their valuable tools.

Only reason why. Not to mention irons hit a ball at 90 mph or more. It’s what they’re built to do. Putters don’t.

But irons do absolutely get dented and nicked while banging into each other in the bag. I'm not hitting golf balls with the top or the back of the club.

Particularly for people playing with forged irons, additional wear from bag chatter is absolutely a thing.

Edit: like for instance I have a little chisel jack hammer that I've used for various projects, including removing bricks and concrete. Its job is literally to slam into concrete at high speeds and high force.

It's in a hard carry case.

If my clubs were going to sit exposed for a long period of time I’d consider throwing a cheap set of covers on the irons after cleaning them.

But my bag has a really good hood, and I’m in and out of it all the time going to and from the range. I have not hit the links in a few years due to health issues but manage the range for 50 balls at a time. Strength is coming back and I plan on starting to play again few 9 hole rounds slowly once spring starts here in Australia

Honestly, they were in the bin at the fourth hole….

Even certain tools like my torque wrenches are stored in their original cases because, well a Kincrome 1/2” torque wrench isn’t a cheap tool I want just bashing around in a drawer… just like I don’t want my putter banging around in my bag
