How it started: You began selling puppets with your Mum... How it's going: You make golf headcovers for the best players in the world.
Story Text · photo_1
It's 1978. You're 15. And need a car. Your Mum says: “Earn it.” You expect chores. Maybe a part-time job. Instead, she asks: “What could you sell?”
Story Text · photo_2
She teaches you to sew hand puppets. And puts you in a booth at a local art show. But you can't sell...
Story Text · photo_3
You scrap your way to your first sales. But realize golf is a better market. Except golfers don't need hand puppets. “What could I make for them?”
Story Text · photo_4
You pivot into golf headcovers. And sew an eagle, birdie, and bogey. You walk into the Biltmore Golf Club and ask for the head pro...
Story Text · photo_5
He's your first order. “That's the worst sales pitch I've ever heard.” You keep door-knocking pro shops until 1997, when everything changes...
Story Text · photo_6
A Stanford graduate wins the Masters carrying your Tiger. Your mum passes away from a brain tumor. Your business grows 400%. “I don't know if I can keep going.”
Story Text · photo_7
You keep selling. Honoring your Mum, Daphne, through your business. You build a team, buy a building, start expanding globally.
Story Text · photo_8
Today: You're carried by tour pros and sold across the globe. You sell 90+ styles and make customs for golf clubs and corporates. And your Mum's signature is still on the tag of your headcovers.
