![]() At first glance you wouldn’t think women would be attracted to these upside-down critters, but at a recent LPGA event Christina Kim, Lorena Ochoa and Patty Sheehan each had fun furry “tails-up” pets keeping their clubs warm. When you look at these silly head covers it’s hard not to laugh. On the Butthead Covers web site there are a total of 28 different animals that when placed on your clubs appear to be diving in your bag. If you’re looking for a head cover that lets your opponent know you plan to “kick butt,” adopt an animal from Butthead Covers for $25. Visit www.buttheadcovers.com. Making a Fashion Statement The women who own Green Divas dedicate their product line to style, fashion and function. However, when you visit the Green Diva web site and look at their wonderfully outrageous golf bag designs it’s obvious the emphasis is also on fun. Diva golf bags — with matching head covers — come in an array of eye-catching patterns. The Cruella bag features Dalmatian spots on a pure white bag. The Jane Bag sports jungle jaguar spots.
