On 8 July 2010, I wrote to Callaway Golf, asking about GolfWholeSaleSelller.com. Here was Callaway's reply:

"Dear Mr. Murphy,

I would like to thank you for your interest in Callaway Golf products and for taking the time to write to us regarding www.golfwholesaleseller.com. I can confirm that we are aware of this site and that the clubs they distribute are counterfeit. Unfortunately because they are based in China it's a little more difficult to go after them. However, we do work with the Chinese government on a regular basis to pursue the people involved in this activity. Although this is a slow process and the penalties generally don't fit the crime we will continue to do what we can.

For your future reference on Internet sites selling our products you might want to refer to the link below which will take you to a list of authorized sites.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks again for writing.

Sincerely,
Michael Dow
