According to a study in the British Medical Journal, golfers using "thin-faced titanium drivers" should probably wear earplugs.
From the BBC News:
"There has been a tendency to make booming clubs for drivers," (said sports equipment engineering expert Dr Martin Strangwood at the University of Birmingham.) But if this were a problem it would be easy to remedy by filling the head of the club with foam to reduce the sound."
He said wearing earplugs was another solution, but said players use the noise as feedback to assess how they are playing and how well their equipment is performing. "So it might not work for all."
