The 40 or so men and women tour professionals on the Callaway Golf staff come from the world’s premier professional golf tours, including the PGA Tour, European PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, Nationwide Tour and Champions Tour.

They are elite players with extremely high standards. Who are they, and which Callaway clubs do they play?

A few are spotlighted below, followed by a complete listing of Callaway Golf tour professionals.

Phil Mickelson

Callaway Golf tour pro Phil Mickelson is currently the No. 2 ranked player in the world, having amassed 34 PGA Tour wins, including three majors. Here’s something you may not know about Phil: golf is the only thing he does left-handed. The pro known as “Lefty” began the game as a left-hander so he could mirror his dad’s right-handed swing during practice.

“I’ve been using this Diablo fairway wood,” Phil said recently about the new Big Bertha Diablo Series. “This is the best fairway wood I’ve ever hit.”

In Phil’s Bag:

• FT-9 Driver
• Big Bertha Diablo Fairway Woods
• Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons 5-9
• X-Forged Irons 3-4
• White Hot XG #9 Putter

Ernie Els

Callaway Golf tour pro Ernie Els competes globally and has won 48 worldwide titles, including three majors. Nicknamed “The Big Easy” for his long, fluid golf swing, the 6’3” Els was a consummate athlete in his youth, excelling in rugby, tennis, cricket and other sports.

Like Phil Mickelson, when it comes to Callaway drivers, The Big Easy swings the FT-9 Driver. Ernie also favors Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons.

In Ernie’s Bag:

• FT-9 Driver
• X Fairway Woods
• Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons 3-9
• Tour Milled 1 Putter

Annika Sorenstam

To say that Callaway Golf tour pro Annika Sorenstam is the greatest female golfer of all time is no stretch. Annika, now retired from tour competition, collected 72 LPGA Tour wins (including 10 majors) in her Hall-of-Fame career. She is also the only woman to fire a 59 in a tour event.

Known for her precision play, Annika has played Callaway irons throughout her career. She currently plays two models: Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons and X-18 Irons.

In Annika’s Bag:

• FT-5 Driver

• Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons 7-9

Callaway Golf tour pro Graeme McDowell is an up-and-coming player on the European PGA Tour who has won four times and was a member of the 2008 European Ryder Cup team. The Irishman played collegiate golf at the University of Alabama, where he was ranked No. 1 in the United States and won an amazing six of 12 college tournaments.

In Graeme’s Bag:

• Fusion FT-3 Driver
• X Fairway Woods 15
• X-Forged Irons 3-9
• White Hot 7 Putter

Gary Player

Callaway Golf tour pro Gary Player is a living golf legend. Still active on the Champions Tour, the man nicknamed “The Black Knight” has won 163 tournaments worldwide and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. Gary also won nine majors in his illustrious career and is one of only a few players to achieve the career Grand Slam, winning the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship by the age of 29.

In Gary’s Bag:

• FT-5 Driver

Badminton and it's English History

Imbued in English culture is a love and creator of Sports of all kinds. I have a website where I have listed and linked to the 100+ various sports and games created by us Brits. One of England's popular games is Badminton which is played by over 1 million people every week. Badminton was originally an English game called "The battledore and shuttlecock Game", an English game about which there are many references as far back as the 1400's.

As early as 1860, Isaac Spratt, a London toy dealer, published a booklet, Badminton Battledore - a new game, but unfortunately no copy has survived.

The beginnings of Modern Badminton can be traced to mid-18th century British India, where it was created by British military officers stationed there. Early pictures show Englishmen adding a net to the traditional English game of battledore and shuttlecock. Being particularly popular in the British garrison town Poona (now Pune), the game also came to be known as Poona. Initially, balls of wool were preferred by the upper classes in windy or wet conditions, but ultimately the shuttlecock stuck. This game was taken by retired officers back to England where it developed and rules were set out.

The new sport was definitively launched in 1873 at Badminton House, Gloucester, England and owned by the Duke of Beufort ( The same house and grounds used every year for the Badminton Horse Show ). During that time, the game was referred to as "The Game of Badminton," and the game's official name became Badminton.

The game uses Shuttlecocks which are made up of nylon and feathers instead of balls. Shuttlecocks have been used in English games since the 8th Century.

Until 1887, the sport was played in England under the rules that prevailed in British India. The Bath Badminton Club standardized the rules and made the game applicable to English ideas. The basic regulations were drawn up in 1887. In 1893, the Badminton Association of England published the first set of rules according to these regulations, similar to today's rules, and officially launched badminton in a house called "Dunbar" at 6 Waverley Grove, Southsea, Portsmouth, England on September 13 of that year. They also started the All England Open Badminton Championships, the first badminton competition held in the world, in 1899.

The International Badminton Federation (IBF) (now known as Badminton World Federation) was established in 1934 with the following countries:

• Canada

• Denmark

• England

• France

• Holland

• Ireland

• New Zealand

• Scotland

• Wales

India joined as an affiliate in 1936. The BWF now governs international badminton and develops the sport globally.

I would image during the last 1500 years my family have been playing the many sports developed and created in England and may have led to my family's interest in most sports played in England and given to the world. My older brother Mark is a good example of our sporting prowess. When my brother was 11 years of age and onwards he represented his school in Cricket, Football, Tennis, Badminton, Athletics and when he was 15 years of age he had a Football trial with Portsmouth Football Club and at 16 years of age played for Hampshire juniors at Cricket.

It always amazes me how from a Island like England we created and gave the world over 100 sports and games that have dominated the world. My family tree has been traced back to the early Kings of England from the 7th. Century AD. This has given me an interest in English history and the sports England have created.

My other website is called Directory of British Icons: http://fabprints.webs.com

The Chinese call Britain 'The Island of Hero's' which I think sums up what we British are all about. We British are inquisitive and competitive and are always looking over the horizon to the next adventure and discovery.

Tennis Balls Extra

EXTRA CREDIT QUESTIONS?

If you want 10 points try and answer these. (:

1) What is the sum of the number of corners, the number of sides, and the number of edges on a cube?

2)The largest painting now in existence is the Battel Of Gettysburg. The painting weighs 1,792 pounds more than 5 tons. How many punds does the painting way?

3)When John Hancock signed the Decleration of Independence, his age was a multiple of 13 and the sum of the two digits was 12. How old was Hancock?

4) The diameter of a tennis ball is 2 1/2 inches. How many tennis balls will fit in a can a little more than 2 1/2 inches in diameter and a foot long?

5) In what year will the United States celebrate its tercentennial birthday?

there are 8 corners, 6 sides and 12 edges. The sum of these is 26

5 tons is 10000 lbs. add the orignial 1792, and you get 11792

y = 13x where his age is y and x is some Natural Number.
a + b = 12, where a is the tens digit of his age, and b is the ones digit.
the answer must be 39, for 39 = 13(3), and 3 + 9 = 12

how many times does 2.5 go into 12? well, 2.5(4) = 10. you can't have part of a tennis ball in the can, so you say 4 whole tennis balls.

the US became a country in 1776. ter is a prefix meaning 3, cent means 100, and ennial means year, so 300 years later. 1776 + 300 = 2076

Relief From Tennis Elbow Symptoms and Treatment Naturally

Here are some remedies for relief from tennis elbow symptoms and treatment plan that you can follow on your own. This condition can cause acute pain which must never be left untreated. In case you can spare the next 2 minutes to read this article, you will have sufficient knowledge to start practicing some of the very effective self-help tips to cure tennis elbow. Here I have listed one of first aid guides to self treat this condition and sincerely hope it is useful for those who are unaware of how to go about it.
The normal remedies prescribed by doctors to treat this condition include painkillers, electro-stimulation, anti-inflammatory medications, steroid shots, stretching and strengthening exercises, and rest. However when the cause of the injury is trigger points, medicines will prove to be ineffective over a period of time. This is because trigger points need special attention and concentrated effort to be treated directly.
Here is how you can start treating the condition yourself
a) Give adequate rest to the injured elbow. Rest will however not provide relief from pain if the cause of the injury is trigger points. Rest will suppress the elbow pain to a large extent. However as soon as you resume the activity that has caused the injury or any such similar activity the pain will come back.
b) The most common cause of this injury is the trigger point located in the extensor carpi radialis longus muscle. These trigger points in forearm muscles can cause tingling, swelling, numbness and stiffness in the wrists, arms and fingers. To alleviate the pain massage the point of pain with a lacrosse ball or a tennis ball. While massaging, lean against a wall. Ensure that your body is leaning against your arm so as to add extra pressure. Place the ball about 3 or 4 inches below the elbow and roll the ball repeatedly in an upward and downward motion. Repeat the massage 5-6 times throughout the day.
For relief from tennis elbow symptoms and treatment naturally, exercises therapy is also very effective. For this it is necessary that you consult a qualified Physiotherapist who would be able to devise a plan to cure tennis elbow specifically for you after taking into consideration your symptoms and severity of pain.
