Golf is arguably the most solitary of sporting pursuits in the world. That means there’s plenty of room for individuality and customization. Think about it, no two golf swings are the same. Putting strokes vary from Crenshaw’s long languid motion, to Isao Aoki’s choppy stroke that looked like he was killing snakes.
That individual flare shows up in golf equipment as well. One golfer’s bag is going to look entirely different than another. Different clubs, balls, accessories, the list goes on.
That’s especially true when it comes to headcovers. Especially animal headcovers. There’s one person to thank for the animal headcover phenomenon, Jane Spicer. Actually, her mum too. Formally a puppet maker, she started Daphne’s Headcovers with her mum, the company’s namesake, when she was only 16. We’ll get into the story of Daphne’s Headcovers in a minute. But for now, let’s take a deeper dive into what exactly Daphne’s Headcovers is all about.

The Daphne’s Headcover Story
Jane Spicer grew up making puppets with her mother, Daphne. They traversed the western United States selling their wares when one day, a customer suggested they try their hand at golf headcovers.
Even though mother and daughter thought the idea was “silly,” they decided to give it a shot.
Low and behold, they found their products in the Arizona-based Biltmore golf shop. That was just the beginning.
In the ensuing decades, Daphne’s continued to experience steady growth as it expanded across the United States and internationally.
The Iconic Tiger
All of a sudden, a young phenom by the name of Tiger Woods came along and put Daphne’s on the global map. Tiger’s mother actually bought the “Tiger” headcover for her son all the way back in 1983. What made the headcover incredibly special was the personal inscription of “Love Always, Mom” written in Thai. As Tiger’s amateur prowess grew into professional dominance, Daphne’s “Tiger” headcover became a universal symbol of mother’s love.
Continued Success
At the time of this writing, Daphne’s headcovers can be found in more than 75 countries around the globe. Their designs have become synonymous with names like Tiger, John Daly, Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els, Jordan Speith, Laura Davies and Lorena Ochoa. We don’t have enough space in this article to name the other dozens of Pros who Daphne’s has designed headcovers for.
The innovation continues year after as the company introduces new designs that are current with the times.
Our Experience
This year, we received the Tiger, Gopher, Taco and Frog headcovers. Both the Taco and Frog are new for 2020.
When I opened up the box they came in, my wife and kids lit up like the 4th of July with excitement. My German Shepherd saw a chew toy in his future. Safe to say, we kept him away at all costs.
As I sat and admired the quality craftsmanship of each individual headcover, I couldn’t help but feel the care and passion that went into the production of each product. My kids wanted to keep the Tiger and Gopher as stuffed animals respectively. Sorry guys.
I’ll tell you that Daphne’s headcovers will be in my bag as long as I’m able to play this silly game. The story behind the brand, the quality of the product, and the smile it brings to face, make it the only headcover I’ll choose.
