Ely Callaway Jr.
Ely Reeves Callaway Jr. was an American Entrepreneur, Textiles Executive, Winemaker and Vintner and Golf Club Manufacturer.
He had three successful careers – first in textiles, next in wine and finally in golf. Ely Callaway was born in 1919 in Georgia and raised in LaGrange, Georgia. Even as he moved up the corporate ladder in New York, and later in California, he held on to his southern roots and retained a distinctive, singsong twang to his voice and a genteel southern charm.
Early life
At age 10 he earned $150 selling copies of Literary Digest, and used his profits to buy a J.H. Hale peach tree that yielded a crop of $750 in their first year. “My father thought they were probably the easiest to raise successfully, and also very palatable versus any other peaches," he later told his alma mater, Emory University.
Ely Callaway played golf as a youth, and was a distant cousin of golf legend Bobby Jones. He won four successive championships at LaGrange’s Highland Country Club. He was a natural leader in school, and was business manager of his high school newspaper and yearbook. His family wanted him to be an engineer, but he was determined to obtain a liberal arts degree. He was senior class president, worked at the business manager for the university publication called The Campus and was a member of the Omicron Delta Kappa leadership fraternity. He graduated with a degree in history in 1940.

Illegal
by: ShakiraWho would have thought
That you could hurt me
The way you've done it?
So deliberate, so determined
And since you have been gone
I bite my nails for days and hours
And question my own questions on and on
So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
I tried so hard to be attentive
To all you wanted
Always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
I'm wondering for days and hours
It's clear, it isn't here where you belong
Anyhow, anyhow
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along
But you don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
Open heart
Open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
Open heart
Open heart
