GirlyGolfer/Delila - My experience having a custom cover made


JudgeSmails

Recommended Posts

So I wanted to get a custom headcover made for my precious putter, here is my experience...hope you enjoy

 

First, my putter…...about midway through 2015 season, my putting sucked and I needed a changed.   I had never had a ‘high-end' milled putter, and figured it was time to see what all the fuss was about.  So I bought a Scotty Cameron Fastback Select.    My putting got IMMEDIATELY better and the lover affair with my beautiful putter began.   I had never putted better in my life, of course it's the indian, not the arrow, but I love the feel, the alignment and the confidence it gave me.   Between me and my regular golf partner (Josmi15), it became known as “Little Scotty”  (its a scotty cameron and my name is Scott, it made sense)

So this off season, I wanted to get a new cover for it, but couldn't find anything I liked.   Then it hit me, Little Scotty has earned a custom cover!   

 

As you know, there a many places offering this service now, and for the most part, the prices are all pretty similar and they all do great work.  So how did I choose GirlyGolfer?  Well, it might seem like a little thing, but they are the only ones that offered a magnetic closure.   Everyone does velcro, and I much prefer magnetic, so why not?

 

So then I needed to decide what I wanted on this custom cover.  I came to the conclusion, that if I was going to do this, why not create my own golf logo?   I mean, all the pro's have it, why shouldn't a random 10 hcp have one too.   So the first order of business was to create my logo, it needed to be something unique to me.  Since I am folically challenged (yeah, bald), I always wear bucket style hats for golf, it gives much more sun protection for the head and neck,  and the less sunscreen I have to apply the better (I'm also extremely white). So it has kind of become ‘my thing', since I don't really see anyone else wearing them on the golf course.   So I decided to incorporate a bucket hat and my initials.  I pulled up some clip art on the internet to get some ideas, then sat down to draw a bucket hat for a logo.  I am in no way artistic, but the logo you will see was completely hand drawn, by myself.  Long story short, I probably drew about 50 hats, scanned them into the computer and finally settled on one.  Then, I did my initials, again, hand drawn as I would initial a document or something of that nature.  After many, many examples, I settled on one and then combined it with the hat in MS Paint.  So the log you see was completely free hand drawn, and I love the way it came out and that it's not computer generated, other than combining the 2 components.

The next thing I did was fire off an email to GirlyGolfer/Delilia, to make sure this logo would be something she could put on a headcover, and she responded quickly and politely, that it was totally doable.

 

Now the process actually begins.  First off, you go onto her website, choose the cover you want to have built:  The size/type of cover, exterior color, interior and closure color and thread color.  You do not add your artwork at this time.   The $25, that you pay through PayPal is a deposit, and when she has you design done and is ready to build, she will invoice you the remaining cost.  She was very nice about giving me an estimate through email, that what I wanted would end up in the $60 to $70 range.  Which I was fine with.

A few days after placing the deposit, I get an email from her, asking for my artwork/design.  They have a little template on their website, that I saved into Paint, and pasted my logo and the lettering of how I wanted “LIttle Scotty” printed.   It is quite easy to do, but if you can't, she is more than happy to work with you.

So now the waiting game began.  Delila does every headcover herself, and there is about a 6-8 week wait time.    

 

After about 6-7 weeks, I get an email from Delila, she has the proofs for my headcover!  She has given me 2 options and a price for each.  I should also state, you are not in any way bound by what you choose in your deposit, up until she makes it, you can change anything you want.  I was very happy with both proofs, but chose the slightly more expensive option, where the logo is filled in with stitching, I think it ‘pops' a bit more.  So I told her I'd like Version 2, she said she would be building it in a couple of days, and send me a paypal invoice for the remainder, which I promptly paid.  She emailed me back and said she would let me know when it's ready to ship, estimated a couple of days.

So now she emails me a couple of days later, says it is shipping the NEXT DAY! And sends pictures of the finished product.  I did not open the attachments, I wanted to be a little surprised when I opened the package…..

 

And HERE is the finished product…….

I hope you all enjoyed my little story, of building a custom headcover with GirlyGolfer, from concept to finished product…..I can't recommend her enough, she was great to work with.

I have toyed with the idea if a custom cover but can't come up with anything unique to me that I would want done. Maybe one day I will figure it out.

 

Thanks for explaining the process in detail and I love your logo!

Thanks!  I'm glad I did, it really makes the log 'pop' more, and it was only 10 additional dollars, if you're gonna do it, do it right

Appreciate the offer to help design something. My biggest problem I have no ideas for anything at all that would represent me. It is like tattoos, I cant come up with anything with a personal enough meaning to make it permanent.

 

I have looked at her site and was impressed with her work.

It's from the comic/movie The Watchmen. The character Rorschach was the inspiration.

Very nice!  I've got 2 blade style covers from her as well that I did a few years back.  The craftsmanship was fantastic and they've held up very well.

 

My only problem is that I've switched to a mallet putter now so the covers are sitting on backups in my putter bag.

If were to ever get in the mood for something like that I'd definitely give them try.

Very nice Judge!  Great work on both your part and her part.  I'd love to do that someday, but I have to find a different putter first.  If I put a nice cover like that on my putter, it would be like putting lipstick on a pig.  No offense to any pigs.

That was a great design Judge, hope it holds up well. Like you I prefer the magnet closure.

 

Not to intrude, but we have an MGS member that can custom make clubs.....AceGolf. His work is very nice.

I have several covers from Delila, they are all excellent. I need to get another one made that will fit both my Ketsch and Spider. I've been wanting to get in her shop and do an interview with her and take some pics of her setup.
