The Rise and Fall of Callaway Golf: How One Bet Cost $1.4 Billion.

#Golf #documentary #callaway #AmericanFairways In 1982, a 63-year-old man was selling golf clubs out of the trunk of his Cadillac. Sixteen years later, his name sat on the New York Stock Exchange, and he'd built the most iconic driver in golf history. But four decades after that Cadillac, his company made one bet that erased $1.4 billion in value — not on clubs, but on a chain of driving ranges with a bar inside. This golf documentary traces how Ely Callaway turned an ordinary object into an empire, and how the company he built almost forgot the very lesson that made it great. Was Big Bertha the thing that saved Callaway Golf from its own mistake? Watch until the end to find out. 🏌️ Enjoyed this story?
