Printed Callaway Golf Balls

Here's one I wished I new about a couple of years back - the printed Callaway Big Bertha ball. Why do I pick this one in particular? Well my father in law is an ex-club professional, having worked as club professional in various golf clubs for over 30 years. A couple of years ago, a few years after his retirement, he tells us he was heading out for a round at the local municipal course and at one hole he saw a brnad new ball laying on the ground at the tee. He picked it up and didn't recognise the ball, although the brand was well known to him!

On his own, he decided to use this new find for the hole he was starting on. His story continues that he has never seen a ball fly so far and well as the one he had just hit. The model and brand - well, of course, the Callaway Big Bertha of course. So for his next birthday present he asked for a box of these.

At first we thought it was a joke - he always calls his driver the Big Bertha, regardless of what he's playing with. Many shops later we finally found the ball and made him happy for his birthday. But now that we've teemed up with Jon and the team, we hopefully have a ready source of these balls and for his next birthday (later this month), he might be getting his name printed onto the golf ball as an extra special treat!
