As an interesting who's-who note: Reeves Calloway of Corvette fame is the
same as the Reeves Calloway of golf fame. I don't see the correlation
between the two endeavors, as a set of clubs can't fit easily in the trunk
of a Vette. :-)

But they will fit!! Not as well as in the 911 but a soft bag will fit--
if they aren't Wilt Chamberlin's sticks.

Easy explanation: There were three endeavors that I know of and maybe a
couple of more that I don't. Eli's family turned three fun hobbies into
money here in San Diego, County. Golf equipment, Wine (Calloway
Vinyards in Temecula -- now sold), and of course Reeve's auto
performance and design business, now on the East Coast. Calloway Golf is
still alive and well, following Eli's death a couple of years ago.
