Callaway Golf Clubs
posted in Golf Equipment |Callaway Golf is one of the top researchers and developers of golf equipment in the industry. The founder of Callaway, Eli Callaway was very devoted to developing the best equipment for the amateur and professional. I was caddying for a friend on the Senior Tour the year that Callaway made it’s debut on the tour. Callaway,during the off season had gotten with several of the top players and introduced them to their clubs and encouraged them to try the new and innovative golf clubs. A couple of these players were Bob Murphy and Jim Colbert. These golf clubs reminded me of the first time I had seen Ping golf clubs several years prior. They were certainly different if you were use to looking at the likes of the typical clubs on tour, such as Wilson Staff blades.
These modern clubs began to catch on very fast and a lot of the pros that had some skepticism at first really started to take note when they saw what kind of results these players were having.
Tom Wargo’s career was definetely influenced by the Callaway driver. Tom was an average driver of the ball with the then conventional drivers. But when Tom tried the more forgiving Callaway driver he gained a lot of confidence and was able to pursue a successful career on the senior tour.
