Think of all the new gadgets that have come along over the last 25 years. Remember when people first had car phones that were huge! Now people carry around the little tiny phones. How things have changed and improved.
USA Today is now 25 years old. They did an article about 25 different inventions that changed our lives. Well, one of them was the Big Bertha Oversized driver and woods. For any of you young golfers out there who have only hit the enormous sized woods that we play today you can not really appreciate Callaway Big Bertha as much. But for those of you with just a few more years under your belt, you can remember the days of hitting those small headed woods. If you handed one of those to a young teenage golfer today they would probably laugh at you just like they would over the bag phones! Yep, the Big Bertha changed golf forever.

The Birth of Murphy's Law
In the post-World War II era, Captain Edward A. Murphy found himself immersed in Air Force Project MX981. The project aimed to determine the maximum deceleration a person could endure during a crash. Little did he know this endeavor would birth a universal truth we now call Murphy's Law.
One day, while inspecting the project, Murphy noticed wiring issues created by a technician. Frustrated, he remarked, "If there is any way to do it wrong, he'll find it." A nearby project manager, keen on collecting a list of laws, overheard this statement and added it to his collection. Soon, it became the mantra for the entire project and eventually found its way into the public domain after being used in a press conference.
