Daphne's HeadCovers

Jane’s Mum, Daphne, passed away from a brain tumor right as the business they started together began to succeed. Here’s how Jane keeps her Mum a part of the business everyday.

It’s 1978, Jane is 16 and needs a car. Her Mum won’t buy her one. “Think of a business and earn it yourself.” So together they start selling animal golf headcovers and Daphne’s Headcovers is born. Now here’s the good part.

Jane quickly gets her first customers. But then the business inches along for 17 years. Jane and Daphne fund the growth of the headcover business by selling puppets at art shows. In 1995 they finally get enough repeat customers to go all in on headcovers. That same year Daphne is diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Daphne passes away in 1996. And Jane is left to run Daphne’s as it enters a new stage. But she’s not ready to let Daphne leave the business entirely. So Jane takes a letter Daphne wrote and turns her signature into a sew-in tag. And from that day forward every headcover we’ve sold has Daphne’s signature on it.

The Daphne’s Signature tag means a lot to us. It guides what products we develop. And is a visual representation of our life time warranty. All genuine Daphne’s Headcovers have the Daphne’s signature tag.

4 Question with Ryan Fox. We caught up with Ryan Fox at the Phoenix Open in February and asked him some questions you won’t hear on the typical press circuit. Congrats on winning the British Open, Ryan! And thank you for carrying a Daphne’s Fox.

How I loosely categorize Scottsdale Country Clubs from premium to world-class.

We’re lucky to have a lot of world-class clubs in the area.

What would you change?

This Big Q headcover for QuikTrip is one of our favorite custom headcovers we’ve ever made. And here’s the best part. We’re working another run as we speak.

Here’s how our duck headcover has changed over the last 29 years.

We released our first duck golf headcover in 1997. Notice how much smaller it is. It was tough to source materials back then. So we used restaurant booth fabric to make the beak.

Our manufacturing capabilities improved over the years. Our latest duck is more detailed. And more mallard-like. This one has feet, a tail, and no restaurant booth material to be found.

Our orange tabby cat headcover is inspired by our CEO, Jane’s, two cats. Fred and George. If you get the reference, you’re our kind of people.

Do cheap balls sound better?

We tested it out. We had our lead sales guy, Mitch, hit all price points of balls with his 4 iron until we were satisfied. And he was tired.

The sound difference was negligible after the $1.70 price point. Can you hear a difference? Thank you Rancho Mañana Golf Club for having us out. The views and wildlife at Rancho are top notch!

This is how our tiger headcover became a tee marker at Bluejack National Country Club.

Capybaras in hot tubs inspired our new capybara headcover.

These are the best embroidered headcovers customers ordered this week.
