<strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> wants to Listen<br />
to <strong>Golf</strong>ers Like You<br />
The <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> Advisory Staff is an online community<br />
of some 9,000 <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> enthusiasts that provides<br />
feedback on a variety of topics – from equipment, shopping,<br />
playing preferences, trends, lifestyle and more.<br />
Members represent a diverse range of golfing ability,<br />
location and background, but all are part of a unique<br />
online community that interacts and shares opinions<br />
with <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> and other golfers. We asked three<br />
regular participants to talk about their experiences:<br />
Trump Card!<br />
<strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> introduced its GEMS golf club set in New York with the<br />
help of <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> Staff Pro Morgan Pressel and Ivanka Trump, resort<br />
developer and daughter of real estate mogul Donald Trump. “We’re trying<br />
to encourage women to play the game,” Pressel says. “Many women<br />
are intimidated by the game and are hesitant to go out and try it. Once<br />
they do play golf, they keep going back for more.” Ivanka Trump said<br />
she learned at a young age from her father and mentor, Donald Trump,<br />
that the golf course is where a lot of business is done.<br />

“The first thing I participated in<br />
involved prototypes of the HX Tour<br />
<strong>Golf</strong> Ball. It’s one of the best things<br />
going, to have responses from<br />
average, everyday players. We hear<br />
responses from other members as<br />
well as the Company … it lets me<br />
know my opinions are being heard.”<br />

“I love <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong>, they’ve done<br />
great stuff for my game. I’ve participated<br />
in two or three surveys now,<br />
and being a big golf enthusiast, it’s<br />
really a lot of fun for me. Sometimes,<br />
it’s a good diversion or break<br />
from work!”<br />

FT i-brid Irons Set<br />
The ultimate in forgiveness<br />
and playability<br />
<strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong>’s most technologically advanced<br />
super game-improvement set features three<br />
hybrid-like clubs, plus game-improvement<br />
short irons. Seamless performance<br />
progression provides consistent distance<br />
separation with optimal trajectory.<br />
Offering the control and accuracy of<br />
irons with the forgiveness, distance<br />
and versatility of hybrids, a low, deep<br />
center of gravity helps get the <strong>ball</strong> in<br />
the air quickly and easily, while a wider<br />
sole provides exceptional turf interaction.<br />

“Many years ago, I got to meet<br />
Mr. <strong>Callaway</strong>. I sent a letter to<br />
Carlsbad, and he wrote back and<br />
asked me to visit. That was shortly<br />
before the launch of the original<br />
Big Bertha Driver. I’m really<br />
impressed with the <strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong><br />
research and development.”<br />
