Special Edition University of Wisconsin Themed Head Covers

Show Your State Pride and School Spirit

By Brian Weis

AB Golf Designs in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison launched two new Badgers-themed specialty head cover models allowing students, faculty, alumni and fans to show their school spirit on the course.

These head covers are Officially Licensed Collegiate Products through the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) and include a plush version of the school's iconic Bucky Badger mascot and a special edition of AB's eco-friendly Throwback line. The latter looks and feels like a classic striped knit stocking style, yet is crafted from polyester fibers made from recycled plastic bottles. It features UW-Madison's signature red and white along with a script "Badgers" embroidered into the material.

"The University of Wisconsin-Madison is well-known for having some of America's most loyal and passionate supporters," says AB Golf Designs co-owner Chip Burley. "Now they can display an extra dose of school pride on the golf course by choosing special editions of the same premium head covers trusted by PGA and LPGA Tour stars."

Available at select retailers throughout Wisconsin and online at www.abgolfdesigns.com, the new head covers highlight the superb quality and creative concepts for which AB is renowned. Ideal for use with woods, the plush Bucky Badger model retails for $28. Available for woods, hybrids and putters at $22-$28 individually, the Throwback line is also offered in three-piece ($75) or four-piece ($90) sets.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf.

It is an understatement to say, Brian is passionate about promoting golf and golf travel on a local, regional, national and international level.
