Callaway’s $1.5B Loss, Par 3 Strategy & Your Holiday Golf Gift Guide

Episode 16 – In this episode of The Hill Unscripted, host Bob Kitchen delivers a packed session of golf business insights, product tips, and holiday shopping help — just in time for Thanksgiving.

Bob kicks things off with a sincere apology about a brand mention in a previous episode, reinforcing his commitment to keeping the podcast honest, informative, and professional.

Then it's onto big stories in the golf world:

- Callaway sells Top Golf at a $1.5B loss – What it says about the business of golf entertainment

- Good Good finally adds female golfers – And why it matters

- FootJoy’s evolution – From old-school to agile brand, and how they’re staying competitive

Bob also answers listener questions about:

- Teeing up on par threes – Should you? (Yes!)

- Offset in golf clubs – What it is and why most golfers need it

He then shares his Holiday Golf Gift Guide, with personal recommendations at all price points — including gear from TaylorMade, Cobra, Bridgestone, Puma, Pins & Aces, and more. Expect honest takes on what’s worth the money, what’s moving fast, and which brands Maple Hill has gone deep on (think: 40,000+ shoes, 2,000 iron sets, and hundreds of bags).

Finally, Bob runs through Maple Hill’s Black Friday promotions, including:

- Bonus gift cards with every gift card purchase

- Simulator passes, fitting discounts, and exclusive extras

- Prepaid indoor golf packages for winter play

Plus, a sneak peek at next episode’s special guest — Bob Bettinardi of Bettinardi Golf — and a quick Thanksgiving sign-off.
