New Callaway Big Bertha Beta Driver Pic Sparks Angry Row Between MyGolfSpy And Harry Arnett

We are all aware of this problem; you buy a brand new driver for big money, then a few months later a new version comes out, and yours is heavily devalued. You feel cheated.

At the same time you have to feel just a tiny bit sorry for the man Callaway put in front of the camera Harry Arnett, as he is being made the scapegoat for growing anger surrounding the company launching a new version of the Callaway Big Bertha driver just months after it was introduced.

Equipment review giant MyGolfSpy published a picture of the new Callaway Big Bertha driver, Arnett objected and made them take it down, then MyGolfSpy responded with a powerful freedom of speech statement attacking the golf companies multiple driver per year strategy which they say is strangling the industry.

What Does This Have To Do With Callaway Golf?
So, what does this have to do with Callaway Golf?  Well…if you are in that majority we just spoke about and one of those hundreds of thousands of golfers who have been telling the golf companies to “STOP, the madness!”, “We don’t need a new club released every couple months.” or “Enough is enough!”.  Well, you might want to step away from your computer.  Yeah, do it now.  No, seriously.  Step away.

Yes, this is another new driver from the company who just released another new driver just a couple weeks ago.  It is also what looks like to be a newly planned version of the Big Bertha Alpha, which if you just purchased the original (the one that was also just another new driver not too long ago) you might not be too happy about.  Amongst all the news of late and the absolute consensus that consumers have had enough, Callaway seems to be of the opinion that the flood has receded (by the way, it won’t for about 2-3 more years), and that consumers are demanding more new equipment from Callaway.
I can understand the anger of MyGolfSpy but I'm really not sure if I would have made the attack so personal against Arnett.

And at the end of the article MyGolfSpy did publish this picture of a Callaway Big Bertha Beta just to rub it in.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
