Callaway To Consolidate
Golf Club & Ball Operations

After reporting their successful second quarter earnings, Callaway have announced they will be consolidating their golf club and ball operations. A spokeman stated this was a result of a three year strategic review of the company, although it comes at a time when the golf ball operation is continuing to lose money.

The sales, manufacturing, research and development elements of the ball and club operations will be merged. Manufacturing and operations are to be headed up by Ron Drapeau, the Senior Vice-President of Manufacturing; Mick McCormick, the Executive Vice-President of Global Sales to head up the sales division; research and development will be overseen by Richard C Helmstette, Chief of New Products. All heads will report direct to Chuck Yash, Callaway's President.

Callaway also announced a new vacancy in the form of Director of Global Advertising and hope to make an announcement about an appointment soon.
