Callaway, Ely, Jr.
(1919-)
The Callaway Golf
Company, Inc.
Overview
Ely Reeves Callaway, Jr. became a famous entrepreneur during the 'Third Act' of his life. Past age sixty, after having made fortunes in two different businesses, textiles and wine-making, his Third Act included creating The Callaway Golf Company, Inc., and manufacturing perhaps the most famous line of golf clubs in the world: the Big Bertha, made of oversized hickory wood, reinforced with a revolutionary tungsten-titanium rod core. Callaway's genius for selling good products, using a story line, didn't falter. He claimed he named his new golf clubs after the famous World War I cannon that could drop a shell on a target six miles away. He said he had re-invented the golf club by using gun-barrel production techniques and new exotic metals. Beginning this company in the seventh decade of his life, by 1994, when he was age seventy-five, Callaway's golf company had become the largest of all his competitors, with an annual revenue, in 1996, of $678 million.
