The PING® 1A™ putter inaugurated a revolution in golf club design and manufacturing that would see Karsten’s company grow into a brand world-renowned for innovation and unequalled quality. Karsten, with his family at his side, went on to pioneer custom fitting and bring new processes to the manufacturing of golf clubs, including investment casting and heat treating. He recognized the value of scientific research and employed high speed cameras and a robotic golfer (The PING® Man) to analyze the dynamics of the golf club. His insistence on adhering to strict engineering principles and tight manufacturing tolerances raised the level of product performance and quality throughout the golf industry. It all led to more enjoyment for golfers all over the world. An engineer with an extensive background in the defense, aerospace and computer industries, he remains the only engineer to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Among the game-changing products that will be forever associated with Karsten are the Anser® putter and EYE2® irons. BUNKER HILL His wife of 63 years, Louise, who turned 91 in June, vividly remembers RICH HARVEST FARMS the moment Karsten informed her of his new putter’s name. “He came Be careful running into the kitchen,” she recalled, “and said, ‘I’ve got a name for my putter.’ I said ‘That’s nice, honey,’ and we ate our hamburgers and Proud sponsorof the of LPGA flat green vegetables without any particular celebration. -

Annika Sorenstam Wins the Kraft Nabisco
Annika Sorenstam Wins the Kraft Nabisco Championship, Scoring a Major Victory for Callaway Golf's New Big Bertha C4 Driver, HX Golf Ball and Odyssey White Hot ``2-Ball'' Putter April 2, 2002 CARLSBAD, Calif., Apr 1, 2002 (BW SportsWire) -- Callaway Golf (NYSE: ELY) Staff Professional Annika Sorenstam successfully defended her title at the Kraft Nabisco Championship yesterday, becoming the first major championship winner of the 2002 golf season. Sorenstam surged to the fourth major championship victory of her remarkable LPGA Tour career with a bogey-free 68 in the final round, edging fellow Callaway Golf Staff Professional Liselotte Neumann by a stroke on the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club. Also victorious in professional events yesterday were Callaway Golf Staff Professionals Dave Eichelberger and Jeff Quinney, who won on the Senior PGA Tour and the Canadian Golf Tour, respectively. Sorenstam has now won three of the five events in which she's played since switching to Callaway Golf's new Big Bertha C4(TM) Driver and HX(TM) golf ball at the beginning of the year. This powerful new combination has helped Sorenstam increase her driving distance average by nearly 10 yards, from 252.3 yards in 2001 to 262.2 yards this year, while improving her driving accuracy from 78.1 percent to 78.7 percent. Sorenstam also leads the LPGA Tour in scoring average at 68.8 strokes, which is well below the record mark of 69.42 she set last year, as well as rounds under par (13 of 15) and greens hit in regulation (77 percent). -

NEWS RELEASE Charity is the big winner at fresh&easy Dinah Shore Charity Pro-Am Nearly $180,000 donated to charity following inaugural event RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., April 8, 2011 – Charity and children’s educational initiatives, in particular, were the big winners following the inaugural fresh&easy Dinah Shore Charity Pro-Am last weekend at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage. The event, which featured hall-of-famers, legends and stars of women’s professional golf, raised nearly $180,000 for the event’s benefiting causes. “When Amy (Alcott) and I started planning the fresh&easy Dinah Shore Charity Pro-Am, we had two main goals: to celebrate and honor the 40-year history of the Kraft Nabisco Championship and the legacy of Dinah Shore, as well as to generate funds for our designated beneficiaries, LA’s BEST and Park Century School,” said Tim Mason, CEO of Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market. “We were able to successfully accomplish both and with nearly $180,000 going to worthy initiatives, I am more than energized about our event. I am proud of all of our partners and players who made this possible. With these funds, scholarships can be created and after-school programs can be supported for kids with the greatest needs and fewest resources.” LA’s BEST and Park Century School each received $80,000 from Mason following the event on Saturday, April 2, with an additional $16,000 donation going to the Dinah Shore Foundation. The fresh&easy Dinah Shore Charity Pro-Am was created by Mason and Amy Alcott, a three-time Kraft Nabisco Championship winner and member of the LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Fame. -
Sorenstam Victory Caps Another Record-Setting
Sorenstam Victory Caps Another Record-Setting Season; Uses Callaway Golf FT-3 Driver, HX Tour Golf Ball to Win ADT Championship for Tenth Title and Sixth Title Defense of 2005 November 21, 2005 CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2005--Callaway Golf (NYSE:ELY) Staff Pro Annika Sorenstam closed out the 2005 regular season on the LPGA Tour by reaching a pinnacle rarely achieved in golf, earning her 10th win of the season at the ADT Championship. With her two-stroke victory yesterday over the three golfers who tied for second, Sorenstam again stepped into the company of the legendary Mickey Wright as one of only two golfers who have reached 10 or more wins in an LPGA season. Sorenstam's round of 3-under-par 69 Sunday at the difficult Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach put her at 282, six under par for the 72-hole event. The win was her 66th and placed her third on the all-time victory list behind Kathy Whitworth (88) and Wright (82). For the year, Sorenstam won half the events she entered, compiling an amazing record of 10 wins in 20 starts. At her present pace, she would catch Whitworth early in the 2008 season. "I am still 22 wins away," said Sorenstam, who captured her sixth Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average, finishing at 69.33, fourth best in LPGA history and more than 1.5 strokes ahead of runner-up Cristie Kerr. "It seems like so much but, again, I am on my way. That's what really pushes me -- to do what nobody else has done." As winner of the Rolex Player of the Year, the Vare Trophy and the LPGA money title with $2.6 million in earnings, Sorenstam takes the Triple Crown of women's golf for the fifth time, an unprecedented achievement in a career that has seen many.
