Bobby Jones Sportswear

In the 30's, Spalding made the 1st set of matching irons and branded them Robt. T Jones, Jr. The branded Kro-Flite line were the high end in Spalding's line for many years into the mid sixties. The family terminated its license with Spalding for a range of reasons. Eli Callaway was happily retired as the former President of Burlington Industries; and, he had moved to Temecula, Ca. To retire, acquire a winery, and play golf. In 1985, Eli Callaway, mostly for fun, established a partnership with a guy in No. San Diego County who was making hickory shafted putters and wedges for a very limited (not serious) market.
