Amanda Balionis calls 1x major champ’s head cover the ‘cutest’ she’s ever seen

CBS reporter Amanda Balionis recently shared a picture of Morgan Pressel’s golf bag and head cover on Instagram. She gushed over the head cover, calling it the cutest.

In the early years of her career, Balionis covered high school sports for Verizon Fios Channel 1 and MSG Network. She later worked with the PGA Tour and Callaway Golf. In 2017, she assumed a part-time role as a golf reporter for CBS, which later turned into a permanent position. Meanwhile, Pressel is a two-time LPGA Tour winner and one-time major champion who is now a golf analyst and commentator.

In a recent post, Morgan Pressel shared a picture of her golf gear while on the greens. One of her head covers featured an adorable dog-themed design. She captured the post:

“Knocking some rust off.”

Amanda Balionis then reposted Pressel’s gear on her Instagram story, saying:

“Cutest head cover I ever did see 😍 🐶 ⛳️ @puppiesandgolf @the partiniclub”

Amanda Balionis likely took an interest in Pressel’s headcover because it is a product from a collaboration between Puppies and Golf and golf accessory brand, The Partini Club. For every head cover sold, the Partini Club donates $15 to Puppies & Golf to further its charitable cause.

Balionis founded Puppies and Golf in 2020, and the nonprofit organization focuses on protecting and advocating for dogs. Since its inception, the organization has supported numerous animal shelters across the country with donations totalling over $500,000.
