...but will they fit in the trunk?

Callaway and Lamborghini developed a partnership a few years back between the club makers' designers and the car makers' engineers to develop composites that would compliment both the Italian automaker, and the storied golf club designer. The first 'forged composite'product from Calloway from this partnership is the Diablo Octane.
It's perfect for the guy that drives a Lamborghini...or that believes he should have one... you know the guy...driven by ego, wants to be the first on your block to have the "it" toy (and is happy to tell you all about it). This club will satisfy that guy.
Both club and car give you speed, speed , speed...

But to play it, you'll have to take the station wagon to the club, cause it won't fit in the real Diablo.

Thanks for reading. Keep it in the short-grass,

In My Hand I Hold A Ball, White And Dimpled, Rather Small. Oh, How Bland It Does Appear, This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.
By It's Size I Could Not Guess, The Awesome Strength It Does Possess. But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell, I've Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell. My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same, Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game.
It Rules My Mind For Hours On End, A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend. It Has Made Me Yell, Curse And Cry, I Hate Myself And Want To Die. It Promises A Thing Called Par, If I Can Hit It Straight And Far.
To Master Such A Tiny Ball, Should Not Be Very Hard At All. But My Desires The Ball Refuses, And Does Exactly As It Chooses. It Hooks And Slices, Dribbles And Dies, And Even Disappears Before My Eyes.
Often It Will Have A Whim, To Hit A Tree Or ! Take A Swim. With Miles Of Grass On Which To Land, It Finds A Tiny Patch Of Sand. Then Has Me Offering Up My Soul, If Only It Would Find The Hole.
It's Made Me Whimper Like A Pup, And Swear That I Will Give It Up. And Take To Drink To Ease My Sorrow, But The Ball Knows ... I'll Be Back Tomorrow.

Stand proud you noble swingers of clubs and losers of balls.... A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a Year. That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon. Kind of makes you proud. Almost feel like a hybrid.
