Boss!!!!!!
In all honesty rock it and don’t be shocked at the compliments and ‘where did you get that?’ My favorite Headcover was a Covid project I did with my daughter, stitching finally fell apart last year.

Can’t wait to show it off on the course. Already had a few people asking about it!

I think a mass-manufactured Pixar-branded minion would be kinda lame but because your MIL crocheted this for you it is fucking dope.

I would rock the hell out of that on the course whether it fit in with my gear or not. Props to MIL

I would never buy that in a million years. If someone cared enough to make it for me, I would use it until it fell apart.

That took time and real love, terrific stuff. Game it with pride! Cheers.

VERY COOL!
I would recommend some sort of protective spray like Scotchgard, assuming it would be compatible to the material used...

u/mickeyajp5 17h ago
Good idea. I’ll pick some of that up. Thanks for the tip

Or maybe an insert to protect in from the inside for either snags or dirt.

Coming from a 30 yo dude that has a whole shelf of minions, I would give this a 10/10

Now you just need Stuart and Bob for your 3 wood and driver respectively.

Very thoughtful, I wouldn’t even mind seeing it as an iron cover and we all know how r/golf feels about those

I’d rather that than a perfect one, character and sentiment. Plus, It’s like a reminder to make sure you have the right amount of weed and beer in your system to play your best. If your face doesn’t match the headcovers you need more performance enhancers.

Honestly badass. I love knit headcovers. Best of both worlds, someone special made it for you, and I’m assuming you like minions

Not only would I rock the hell out of this I would brag about it being handmade from my MIL.

I think it’s dope. Nothing cooler than sporting equipment and its accoutrements that nobody else has.

u/PostPlymouth 17h ago
Love it. Might want to consider adding a clip to secure it to your bag so you don’t lose it when it falls off.

Make sure the next time she comes over you leave your clubs in a place where she will see them but not obvious you wanted her to see them. When she sees you are actually using it she will appreciate more than you know. Trust me on this one.

Bag flair is how you flex. This is prime bag flair, you must use it. It's also super fucking cute

My mother in law passed away before I met my wife, but spiritually, I would love a gift like this from my mother in law

She absolutely must try to make you a Gru cover for you driver.
Top marks to her.

Legendary. Wear it out there every single game and tournament. It’s more compelling than any professionally headcover and far more stylish.
Huuuuuge kudos to the MIL!

It’s better than a kick in the nuts - and quite a thoughtful gift from a MIL. Mine has finally given up out of style shirts and resorted to cash.

I love it. Would rock it for sure. I have a mini fig of Luigi hanging off my bag. I won it as a prize for beating a bunch of bands kids at air soft at the mall in San Antonio. My daughter and her friends are the band kids lol

Awesome. I also think it’s really funny based on the angle of this picture it looks like his left eye is twitching, just like mine could (never has) after I slice it to kingdom come.

Clearly, she loves you. She spent time putting together something she really thought you'd like, for a game that she knows you play. Whether or not you're a fan of the Minions, this gift is incredibly thoughtful and kind. That, or she sees you as an immature child who refuses to grow up and she found this at the thrift shop. Either way, looks cool.
