Z Customization, a company best known in golf circles for manufacturing and embroidering golf bags for major club manufacturers, has temporarily shifted its focus into producing top-quality face masks for golf companies and courses.
As COVID-19 began shuttering the golf industry in early March, company CEO Jeff Yearous knew he had to do something to keep his employees working and his business afloat. So he quickly shifted Z Customization’s production process to making face masks. With his company’s ability to customize products, he designed and produced logoed face masks for local high schools and colleges. By word of mouth, he began selling them by the hundreds. Then several Southern California golf courses — Monarch Beach, The Crossings at Carlsbad, and Goat Hill — caught word and purchased logoed masks from Jeff in much higher quantities. Those facilities are not only arming their staffers with the masks, but are also selling them to their customers.
“We’re pulling out all the stops in making them,” says Yearous. “We use top-quality materials and stitching, two-tone color schemes, and we heat transfer the course logo onto them. The reception has exceeded our expectations. In fact, officials at the courses tell us that when guests show up and see the masks on employees, they immediately ask how they can get one.”
As a result, Yearous sees the potential and has made face mask production an emphasis for Z Customization this year. The company is also the official supplier of the Ryder Cup Team USA licensed golf bags for 2020.

ABOUT Z CUSTOMIZATION
In 2004, we expanded our product development business to what seemed like a crazy idea at the time – embroidery. We started with one 15-head embroidery machine, one tiny location, one core customer (Callaway Golf, which remains a customer today), limitless passion, and three core beliefs that still guide our business. By sticking with our core beliefs, working hard, and a lot of blessings, our business has flourished.
Our three beliefs:
- People buy from people they like, trust and who make doing business easier.
- If we take care of our customers and employees and treat both as family, we will always have business.
- Hard work, honesty, integrity, and perseverance are the cornerstones to good business.
Today our customer list reads like a Who’s Who of sporting good’s giants and Fortune 500 companies. The products we embellish or produce have been used by or seen on:
- Four U.S. Presidents
- The Olympic Games
- Numerous TV shows
- The Ryder Cup
- Us Magazine
- Several movies
- The Super Bowl
- The President’s Cup
- Every golf tournament in the past decade
Even though we work with huge global brands and have the ability to process orders of several thousand units, we also love to work with local companies that need five shirts for a trade show or a grandmother getting Christmas stockings customized for her grandchildren. At Z Customization, we make it personal!
