Definitely an interesting turn of events. I always though competition was good for creativity and production. I sure hope brunswick and storm don't decided to "merge"

Dude, I hope you have a good source on all the posts you have been making. Starting rumors is not nice. If you are wrong, you will look like a fool. Time will tell.

I know the first runs are done, but is the columbia plant going to continue production of them, or are all production facilities going to close and move to Kentucky? And will all production stop until the move is done, or what?

From what I was just told in an email from a reliable source, EVERYONE, "even down to the people that clean the restrooms" were let go.
Also, Billy Yinger left the tour 2 weeks ago!!!!

but look on the bright side. hammer was not doing well when ebonite bought them in 2002. and look at the job ebonite did turning them around.
in our shop 3 out of the 6 best selling models are hammer.
and to me, columbia today/yesterday was doing better then hammer 5 years ago.
so with ebonite taking them over, and based on the outstanding job they did with hammer>>>> there should be hope that the columbia brand name will survive.

Also about Phil taking over Track and Dyno-Thane as independent companies, good luck with that.
Talked with a few guys at the tournaments here in vegas. I was told that again as someone has already posted they let go of EVERYONE!!! I believe they are employed till around April 7th and than after that good bye... Alot of them found out from different sources other than columbia/track!

You never know, Ron Hickland and Phil designing for the same company? That would be awesome.
