headcover
Protection for head
A headcover is any covering worn on or over the head—a hat, scarf, cap, or veil.
The term appears in religious contexts where head covering is prescribed or customary.
In golf, a headcover is a protective sleeve that fits over a club head, especially woods and putters, to prevent scratches during transport: She pulled the headcover off her driver.
