allaway Golf announced today--and on the eve of releasing its second-quarter numbers--that is undertaking a restructuring of its operations over the next 18 months that will include the creation of third-party distribution in Dallas and Toronto as well as the establishment of a new manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Mexico. Manufacturing and distribution capabilities will remain in Carlsbad and Toronto. Additionally, layoffs at each of these facilities will take place over the next year and a half. Callaway currently employs some 2,300 people worldwide and will provide transition support to impacted employees. The move is the result of the company's desire to improve its manufacturing processes and supply chains. While some manufacturing will remain in Carlsbad, the majority of North American club manufacturing for Callaway will move to Mexico. When the transition is complete, manufacturing for the company will be relatively evenly split between Mexico and Asia.

Not cool...

hahahaha... that's hilarious...

But seriously, lame. All this outsourcing, no wonder why so many are unemployed!

That's because people don't want to pay for quality anymore. Everyone just wants everything for nothing. I see it every day at work.

True. There is more and more talk about clones. Clones are just as good etc. I just don't believe that. If it were true, why are no pros or top ams playing clones. It is not because they are being paid to play a certain club, it's because the clubs they are playing are better. Not saying clones don't have a place, but they are not as good as the clubs they are made to be similar to. I had clones when I started playing again, but replaced them with name brand when money would permit. Also unfortuante for me, Callaway has been my favorite manufacturer.

I dont blame Callaway. Why stay in the USA when they are being taxed and overregulated to death. The EPA has friggen neutered the chrome plating industry. No wonder forged irons look like shit after a few seasons.

Good for you Callaway.

[Kieran123]

This is all Phils fault.

TBH, it will mean cheaper Callaway gear......which is good, and quality will be the same, the patriotic feel won't be.

Aww-sarcasm. I'd tackle spelling first.

Why? Then I would miss all your the anal retentive come backs.

[Shripe]

Off-topic, it's more grammar than spelling.

On-topic, well, that's going to be expected. Nearly every other good company is leaving except for the Big 3 autos... though "good" can be debated there.

I've actually heard that the Canadian Health Care system isn't too bad, actually. So you're saying it's good?

Absolutely correct-I was tongue-in-cheek poking fun at the second post. It is depressing that it's becoming more and more difficult to find decent American made goods. I recently saw that my York Peppermint Patty was Made in Mexico. I have nothing against Mexico, but seriously? Was it that expensive to make them in PA?

I wouldn't expect him to let facts enter a discussion on this topic, they might contradict his talking points. Best just to move along, this is one of those topics you just can't discuss on the Internet. At least, not if you want a useful discussion.

Much like the demise of Detroit, Michigan.... we can thank the Labor Unions.

Do your own research. Wait 3 months for a MRI? Getting drugged up instead of a knee or hip replacement? Politicians coming across our borders for operations? Most of my family is from P.E.I. and Newfoundland. I know what they go though.

I have a aunt in P.E.I. right now who is drugged up because the Canadian health care system says that she is too old to be considered a usefull benefactor of such costs. All the relatives are chipping in so that she can come down to Ma. to have it done. 3 specialists in Ma. have said that she was more than fit for the proceedure. Oh yeah....... and Canadian health care is free. They just tax the living hell out of people for the fun of it I suppose.
