Abstract: A golf accessory that is produced with slight variations in customized surface ornamentation on a recurring basis is fabricated by manufacturing it with two separate component elements. A main body portion is formed with a shallow tray having a flat floor recessed below the level of a surrounding rim. A modular insert bearing customized surface ornamentation is produced as a separate part. The modular insert is permanently secured in the tray defined in the main body to produce the finished golf accessory which has a customized surface ornamentation. By producing the main body as a separate part, a significant savings in tooling is achieved, since the molds or dies for the main body can be reused year after year. Smaller, simpler tooling for the modular insert must be produced on a recurring basis, but the cost of this tooling is substantially less than the cost of the new tooling that would be required to produce an entirely new main body part each time there is a change in surface ornamentation.
