Coming Spring 2008: Monkey Made of Sockies Golf Club Head Covers
I have granted Daphne's Headcovers the use of my Monkey Made of Sockies art on golf club head covers. These adorable head covers are debuting at the PGA Merchandise show, January 17-19, in Orlando, FL. This spring you'll be able to find them in pro shops and other fine retailers around the globe. Don't golf? They make excellent puppets and are a great companion piece to my children's book, Monkey Made of Sockies! I'm giving a portion of the proceeds to Play Golf America organization, so it's a win-win for everyone!
Special thanks to Eric Dietz, General Manager of Rochester Golf and Country Club. The journey started when Eric took one look at my sock monkey art and said, "These would be great head covers." I promptly had a prototype made and Eric paved the way.
All of Daphne's products are superb and they all come with a lifetime guarantee. And, it's truly a pleasure to work with this organization. For more information about Daphne's, visit http://www.daphnesheadcovers.com.
