The Unconquerable Game: Ely Callaway on the Game of Golf and Life

Among the 40 million active world golfers playing today, the name Callaway is known to all as the manufacturer of the finest golf equipment made.

However, not many know that the company was founded by one man, Ely Callaway (1919-2001), who, at the age of 65, created it as a garage start-up with two colleagues in southern California. Within ten years, Ely (Ee-lee) built the Callaway Golf Company into the largest golf club company in the world and the sport's most prestigious brand.

Fewer people still realize that this was not just the result of good fortune, for this was Ely Callaway's third successful business, after textiles and wine. Ely Callaway had spent 50 years playing the game of golf as a talented amateur; following the example of his hero and first cousin, the legendary Grand Slam winner Bobby Jones; analyzing the golf industry; and reflecting on the true meaning of the game.

Behind the success of the Callaway Golf Company was the charismatic personality of Ely Callaway, who made such a deep impression on everyone he met that he became beloved by millions around the world, from golfers to presidents, pop stars, and top professionals.

In the last years of his life, he wrote a book that distilled the secrets of his success and shared his outlook on life. Ely Callaway, however, died in 2001, and never completed the book.

Now, a generation later, the "lost book" of Ely Callaway is finally published, authored and compiled by his son, Nicholas Callaway. The book captures Ely's unforgettable voice, as he shares stories from his lifetime in the game of golf, which he loved because for him it was "the unconquerable game."

The book also contains invaluable insights on how to be a successful entrepreneur and, most of all, how to "enjoy the game" of life and golf.

"The Callaway Way" distils the wit and wisdom of one of the greatest and most innovative American entrepreneurs of the 20th century, with stories and anecdotes that are uncannily timely at this moment in the 21st century.

Exquisitely designed and produced, "The Callaway Way" is the must-have collectible and gift for everyone interested in the game of golf and entrepreneurship.
