Brotherly Love<br />
My brother Tom and I began<br />
playing golf in 1995, five years<br />
after our dad, who thoroughly<br />
enjoyed the game, passed on.<br />
Tom and I live several states<br />
away from each other, and our<br />
favorite vacation involves taking<br />
time to get in a few rounds of<br />
golf together. Even when we’re<br />
not able to play, our telephone<br />
conversations always include<br />
commentary on recent rounds.<br />
Without a doubt, golf has helped<br />
further cement an already strong<br />
brotherly bond.<br />
In December, Tom was<br />
seriously injured in a motorcycle<br />
accident. It was a miracle<br />
he survived, but Tom now faces<br />
a long road to recovery. <strong>Golf</strong>ing<br />
together is not likely this year,<br />
but we know that anticipated<br />
first round is coming. In the<br />
past, Tom has played with a<br />
prize letter<br />
building toward a cure<br />
set of hand-me-down clubs,<br />
but I’ve promised him that he<br />
will have his choice of new<br />
<strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> clubs when our<br />
long-awaited next meeting on<br />
the links takes place. <strong>Callaway</strong><br />
<strong>Golf</strong> will definitely be part of<br />
our reunion on the course.<br />

I am writing in regard to the “Hollywood stars<br />
embrace a good cause” article in the Winter<br />
issue. Each June, The New England Council<br />
of Carpenters sponsors a golf classic in<br />
support of ovarian cancer research. Last year’s<br />
event raised over $200,000, and in the past<br />
10 years, $1.8 million has been raised.<br />
Over 320 construction workers and financial<br />
professionals get together to have fun playing<br />
golf and provide support for a devastating<br />
disease. At the end of the day, a clambake is<br />
held with a guest speaker who, very often, is<br />
a woman with ovarian cancer. You can look<br />
in the crowd of rugged construction workers<br />
and see many with watery eyes.<br />

Patience is a Virtue<br />
In 1991, a friend of mine<br />
was given a brand new set of<br />
<strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> S2H2 Irons as<br />
a wedding gift from his wife.<br />
We hit the course and he<br />
immediately let me know how<br />
great those irons were and that<br />
my hand-me-down clubs were,<br />
well, just hand-me-downs!<br />
Very seldom a day went by<br />
without him reminding me<br />
how great those irons were.<br />
I have been told many times<br />
over the years that it is not<br />
the equipment that makes<br />
the errors, but the player.<br />
Now that I have finally caught<br />
up with technology, I have<br />
to disagree. <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong>’s<br />
technology is so great, I often<br />
feel like I am cheating!<br />
I recently purchased the<br />
X-18 Irons, and I now fully<br />
intend to look up my good<br />
friend from the past, just to let<br />
him know how right he was<br />
about <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> clubs and<br />
their excellent performance!<br />

Fond Memories of<br />
Annika and<br />
<strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong><br />
When my daughter was married<br />
last August, it was the happiest<br />
I’ve ever seen her. When she<br />
was a teenager, she became an<br />

avid golfer. Annika Sorenstam<br />
(above) is her hero, and she<br />
actually got to meet her at the<br />
1998 U.S. Women’s Open.<br />
One of the other times I’ve<br />
seen her at her happiest was<br />
the day my wife and I gave her<br />
a set of <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> X-12<br />
Irons to use when she played<br />
on her high school golf team.<br />
She still uses her <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong><br />
clubs and occasionally reminds<br />
me of that day.<br />

my travel partner<br />
I always look forward to receiving<br />
<strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> Magazine<br />
and read every article. When I<br />
travel on business, I always take<br />
my clubs with me in case I can<br />
sneak in a round of golf. An<br />
associate asked me why I go to<br />
the trouble of dragging my clubs<br />
around when most golf courses<br />
rent clubs. I told him I couldn’t<br />
chance not being able to play<br />
with <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> clubs. Your<br />
technology definitely has helped<br />
cut strokes from my game!<br />
