This page doesn't really read too badly as an advertisement...Callaway is one of the biggest companies in golf, hence they are traded on the NYSE. Unfortunately, this is a very porrly written article. No deletion but major reedit! (Jeeps2009 22:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC))

Hey, just did a major re-write about how Callaway got to be a big company in golf. Ditched the endorsement list, the product line spiel, and who the CEO is as of last week.

I'm not going to claim that the previous version(s) were a stellar example of what a Wikipedia article should be, but I feel like it reads _more_ like an advertisement now. Why, for example, leave out the endorsement of major players, and include a mention of an ad with Bill Gates? And adding "how Callaway got to be a big company in golf" but failing to even link to the Big Bertha (golf club) article seems a little silly to me, no offense, especially as much of the information would be more appropriate there. --JdwNYC 00:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm in the process of editing this article. I think that Big Bertha should be merged into this article. I'm also going to add more history on their implementation of titanium drivers, their loss of ground in the market, and then their subsequent bounce back. 72.44.0.76 10:23, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I think the integration of the Big Bertha article with Callaway is a good idea. I never linked to the Big Bertha in the original re-write article because I made the assumption it didn't exist at all, especially given the paucity of info in the original Callaway article. I mentioned the Bill Gates add because it is relevant info in the company's history. If it reads like an ad there isn't much I can do about that, but at least it doesn't read like a PR Newswire release from Callaway itself anymore. Nice addy with the Alice Cooper bit, I didn't know that. A mention about Callaway for a long time being perceived as the "best club maker never to win a Major" bit until Michael Cambell won in 2005 might be worthwhile as well.

[edit] Update

Tried to re-organize the structure and eliminate the advertisement mumbo-jumbo. Don't know who put the "fact" tags in but they need references. Unable to finish tonight. Will continue tomorrow. --Esung911 02:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
