Five mallards in flight across a white embossed body, with the Birdie Mallard script and a red pin flag at the hem. Built for the club that spends the most time buried in the bag picking up marks from its neighbours.
THE EMBROIDERY
- Five mallards worked in full colour - orange wings, green heads, white and black bodies with purple detailing on the primaries
- Birdie Mallard script embroidered at the hem alongside a red pin flag
- Stitched into a white body carrying a tone-on-tone embossed interlocking circle pattern that catches the light rather than shouting
- Embroidered, not printed, so the detail holds its colour and its edge through rain, sun and repeated handling
- The birds carry across the body rather than sitting as a single badge on one face
MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
- White PU synthetic leather outer with an embossed geometric pattern pressed into the surface
- Full plush fleece lining in warm brown, running the length of the cover
- Elasticated gathering through the neck that pulls the cover in tight against the shaft
- Double-stitched seams throughout with a bound edge around the opening
- Holds its shape in the bag rather than folding flat once it comes off the club
FIT AND EVERYDAY USE
- Sized for fairway wood heads
- Wide opening goes over the head without catching on the hosel or shaft
- Elasticated neck holds the cover on through a full round on a trolley or a cart
- One-handed on and off, which matters on a club you may only use two or three times a round
- Deep enough to cover the full crown and sole rather than sitting halfway on
WHY THE LINING MATTERS
- A fairway wood is in the bag far longer than it is in your hands, and that is where the crown gets marked
- Iron heads and shafts rattling against a thin-lipped wood crown is what causes the fine scratching
- A full plush lining absorbs the contact instead of the paint
- Keeps dew and rain off the face on a club you may not touch for six holes at a stretch
- A clean crown holds value if you trade the wood on later
LOOKING AFTER IT
- Wipe the white outer with a damp cloth after a dusty or wet round - PU does not stain the way fabric does
- Air the lining out fully before the bag goes into storage
- Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron
- Keep out of direct heat and out of a hot car boot for long stretches
WHO IT IS FOR
- Golfers who hunt as well as play, and want a bag that says so without a logo
- Anyone building a white bag setup rather than running mismatched factory covers
- Players replacing a stretched fairway cover that keeps working itself loose
- Anyone who already has the matching driver cover and wants the set finished
LOCAL STOCK, LOCAL DISPATCH
- In stock in South Africa and dispatched locally - no import wait and no customs surprises
- Priced in rand with local support after the sale
- Checked and packed before it ships
White covers are unforgiving - they show every shortcut in the build. Bound edges, double stitching, an embossed body and a full plush lining are what let this one stay sharp through a full season.
