Remembering Samantha Walsh: One decade following teen's death family finds it as tough as ever
Sometimes not even time can heal the greatest of wounds. When Samantha Bertha Walsh - a 13-year-old pretty, blond-haired girl full of life's zeal - was ripped from her parents George and Milley Walsh 10 years ago, it tore a hole through their hearts.
The Big Bertha Callaway
One of the greatest thrills in playing golf is to drive the ball long and straight down the fairway and into the greens. Unfortunately, the pleasure and thrill was not experienced by anyone before Ely Callaway Jr arrived on the scene. In 1991, Callaway introduced the Big Bertha Callaway driver. The Big Bertha had a revolutionary ‘large volume club head’.
One could experience that perfect drive with this 190cc steel head golf club. The large head with the increased sweet spot was what they called the secret to it all.
This Big Bertha Callaway enabled a great drive even when the contact between the club and the ball was not so perfect.Earlier, this would have been only a dream.The big bertha allowed more room for error and gave even the not so professional and avid golfers a sweet shot down the fairway.
Since introducing the big head driver, Callaway has always tried to improve upon its models and designs. The improved clubs by the names of ‘Great Big Bertha’ and the ‘Biggest Big Bertha’ have been introduced. But still, Callaway wasn’t too satisfied with the performance of the drivers. He wanted a much more lighter and accurate and sleek design. This is when he introduced the Grand Big Bertha Hawkeye Titanium driver. Titanium is a very light yet very strong metal and thus it considerably reduces weight of the driver without sacrificing on the distance and the strength. The Big bertha Hawkeye was a complete sellout. It completely took over the markets overnight.
This time around the USGA began introducing measures to allow big headed drivers in the game. With the increased club size trend all around, the company introduced the Callaway big bertha 454 driver and the Callaway Big Bertha 460 driver.
New technology and the super big market of women golf drew the manufacturers to introduce the Big Bertha 460 driver for women, proving to the world that women could indeed use and handle big head clubs. Callaway uses a unique Fusion technology (patented by him), which as the name suggests fuses titanium and a carbon composite. This immensely helps to evenly distribute the weight of the club head move it a little away from the centre of gravity. This very minute change of the position of the centre of mass highly increases the stability of the club. It thus offers a greater distance and excellent accuracy. Callaway has also designed a shallower face and a flatter one with the Big Bertha clubs which help improve accuracy and efficiency all the more.
All the technology that goes into the making of the drivers is got after detailed and elaborate tests and many tests on the greens. What is got is a highly advanced club that does not go unnoticed by the pros. Phil Mickelson and Gary Player has endorsed Callaway drivers to the hilt.
Along with the Big Bertha, Callaway has introduced a complete line of golf equipments. It also offers the highly advanced FT-3 driver, endorsed by the champion Annika Sorenstam.A complete line of golf irons, golf bags, shoes and golf balls.
. The Big Bertha completely, and for the betterment of the game, changed the way how one played golf. Another big advantage of the Callaway drivers is hat they are readily available in all major golf stores
