The Q2 financial reports for Topgolf Callaway and Acushnet have always been a contrast in styles. But for the second quarter of this year, one company is leading with a nearly five percent year-over-year sales growth.
The other says its results “reaffirm 2023 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.”
Care to make any guesses on which is which?
Both companies have traditionally led with sales numbers, percentage increases, and growing net profits – you know, the sexy stuff that gets investors all gooey with anticipation. But for the second quarter in a row, it’s Topgolf Callaway with the muted quarterly results announcement.
Not that the actual numbers are scary or anything, but it begs a simple question:
Phil Mickelson bet more than $1 billion on football, basketball and baseball over the past three decades and even allegedly attempted to place a $400,000 wager on Team USA in the 2012 Ryder Cup in which he participated, according to an upcoming book.

Mizuno is extending their M.Craft Omoi putter line with three new models. This brings the total number of Omoi putters up to six, consisting of a now balanced set of three blades and three mallets. There are some sure-to-be crowd favorites in this new cohort.
Not to give away the ending, but you center-shafted lefties may need a second pair of underpants today.
Anyway, before we get to the new models, let’s rehash the Mizuno M.Craft Omoi story.
Mizuno M.Craft Omoi: Heavy Thoughts for Heavy Heads
In 2022, Mizuno released the original three Omoi putters as the latest incarnation of their popular M.Craft putter lines. Though known for their irons, the M.Craft putters clearly demonstrated that Mizuno could mold their metal into putters as well.
No other putter in the shop caught the eye like those blue ion Mizuno M.Craft.
Our golfing failures are caused by our perfect expectations for each shot. Yes, we watch the successes of pros on TV and expect that we can create those successes on the golf course too. Unfortunately, your progress in golf should be taken one step at a time. Like losing weight, you can’t do it over night. Set a plan for your game and take advantage of your progress.
Work on Improvements in Every Component of Your Game: You have to accept the fact that you have weaknesses in your game. List them and then go to work on each segment of your game:
1/ Driving to Hit the Fairway: Trying to drive for distance is a killer for most golfers. Set a goal to hit more fairways (or par 3 greens) for all of your tee shots. Hitting out of the rough, behind a tree or OB are all killers for your next shot. Why not focus on hitting the fairway with an iron, a fairway wood or your driver but keep moving up to longer clubs as your success in hitting fairways improves. [Pros are happy to hit 14 out of 18 drives to hit their target.]
2/ Approach Shots: If you know that your chance of reaching the green is a low percentage shot, why not layup on the safe side of the green (away from traps and penalty areas). It’s so much easier to pitch and roll a shot onto the green.
3/ Reading the Green from the Fairway: Hitting the green and rolling off into the fringe can be another killer shot. Determine where your shot will land and roll before you take your approach shot. Take advantage of the roll to give yourself a change for a 2-putt green.
Justin Thomas dropped to the ground after his chip bounced on the 18th green and then hit the base of the flag stick. Had his caddie pulled the pin he would have sunk the chip and clinched a spot in the FedEx Cup playoff. POOR PLANNING!
4/ Practice to Cut Your Putts: Practice putting is the best way to cut strokes on every round that you play. Don’t expect to improve your putting without practice. You can only learn to reduce your putts by learning the feel for putting and reading greens. At least 40% of your practice time should be spent practicing your putts from every distance. Learning to make a good lag putt and then sink your second putt. A single putt green is just a bonus.
5/ Reading the Break: You may have 2 or 3 breaks in your putting line, but the slope closest to the hole is the most critical as your ball will break more as it slows down near the hole. Look at the line for any putt from the slope below the hole and again from behind the line from your ball to the hole. You need a good feel for the direction of the break and the distance of your putt.
6/ Short Putts NEVER Go In: Always putt to ensure that your ball will pass the hole by up to 2 feet. Even a 3-foot putt should be hit firm enough to pass the hole by at least a feet to avoid the many imperfections on the surface of the green next to the hole as most damage on the surface is done by golfers as they remove their ball from the hole. When you consistently pass the hole by up to 2 feet with every putt, you will learn to account for less break at the hole.
Practicing with GOLFSTR+ is a good starting point for every club in your bag.
