Product Licensing News

News from the PGA Licensing Show

I just returned from the PGA Licensing Show in Orlando, FL and am pleased to report the Monkey Made of Sockies Headcover by Daphne's was a hit!  These whimsical headcovers will be released around the first of April.  You can find them at better pro shops and other fine golf retailers around the globe.  It's truly been a pleasure to work with this organization.  I'm giving a portion of the proceeds to the Play Golf America organization, so it's a win-win for everyone!

All of Daphne's Headcovers 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.

I'm still working on other many other licensing opportunities and possibilities from the PGA Show.  You'll be the first to know as things unfold!
