Keeping Track of Your Golf Ball
My client’s mother uses our Beauty Alert! waterproof and writable labels to keep track of her golf balls. Not only do they stay on the surface of the ball, the label can withstand all kinds of abuse. I have even put one through the dishwasher on my Pyrex dish. Anyway, good to know that even [...]
