Q3 Financial Reports: Callaway and Acushnet
Q3 Financial Reports: Callaway and Acushnet – Key Takeaways
Callaway sales top $988 million in Q3 with $38.5 million in net profit.The new Topgolf Callaway Brands expects to hit nearly $4 billion in sales in 2022.Acushnet Q3 sales top $558 million with nearly $52 million in profit.Acushnet projects 2022 sales to approach $2.25 billion.
Golf’s two biggest publicly traded companies officially have closed the books on 2022’s Q3. And it doesn’t take a financial wizard to realize Acushnet and the newly rebranded Topgolf Callaway Brands aren’t playing the same game as PING, TaylorMade, COBRA or anyone else, for that matter.
You can’t even say they’re playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. It’s more like Acushnet and Topgolf Callaway are playing three-dimensional chess in while everyone else is playing Chutes and Ladders.
Or Old Maid.
Or Go Fish.
State Of The Big Businesses Surrounding Pro Golf
Anything stereotyped should be avoided on a golf course; all construction work should follow the irregular lines of nature. Any contractor who informs a committee that golf courses can be constructed on contract as they would build a clubhouse is either absolutely ignorant of golf course architecture or is trying to hoodwink the golfing public. It would be just as reasonable to expect an artist to estimate the amount he charges for a painting, according to the quantities of paint and materials he uses. ALISTER MACKENZIE

COBRA T-Rail Hybrid Irons
Even if you’re not a moderate swing speed player looking for a ton of forgiveness, I’d encourage you to take a few swings with the COBRA T-Rail the next time you’re at a golf shop or demo event.
You need to experience the ball flight for yourself. Seriously. It’s fun.
I’ll never forget trying the first generation of T-Rail at La Costa in Carlsbad, Calif., several years ago. I’m a high ball hitter anyway but I’ve never seen anything like the height I got with the T-Rail.
Was it excessively high? For me, sure, but that’s not the point.
Arccos Adds USGA Handicap Integration
With Arccos Golf’s recent integration with the USGA, the company adds an important feature to its stat-tracking and performance management platform.
If Arccos isn’t a familiar name, here’s a primer. Or two.
Arccos Integration. Say What?
Software updates typically target improved convenience, added features or some measure of both. In this case, Arccos users now can input scores directly to their USGA handicap from the Arccos app. Additionally, Arccos members will be able to view their handicap index directly from the Arccos Caddie app. Essentially, it’s a portal within the Arccos Caddie app that allows users basic access to the USGA handicap dashboard.
If you already have Arccos, the update should be live and ready to go in the coming weeks. That said, a good bit of the country has already entered (or is about to) the inactive portion of the USGA calendar. To clarify, every state has an active season where golfers can post scores and receive an updated handicap index. States like California, Arizona and Florida are “Year-Round” and do not have an off season. Conversely, pretty much any state where people own a snow shovel (or better yet, a snowblower) have an inactive period from roughly the end of October through the beginning of March or April.
