FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


            U.S. DISTRICT COURT DISMISSES SECURITIES
             CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST ADAMS GOLF


PLANO, TEXAS, December 13, 2001 - Adams Golf (Nasdaq:ADGO)
announced today that the federal securities class action filed
against the Company and certain of its officers and directors in
June 1999 in the United States District Court for the District of
Delaware has been dismissed.  The Court concluded that the
plaintiffs, a small group of stockholders, failed to plead any
facts supporting their claim that the Company or its officers and
directors violated the federal securities laws.

"Needless to say, we're very pleased with this favorable ruling,"
stated Adams Golf Chairman and CEO Barney Adams. "We have
maintained all along that the complaint was completely without
merit and in its first look at the lawsuit, the Court agreed.
While the case is not over due to the plaintiffs' right to
potentially file an amended complaint or appeal, this is
nevertheless a significant victory for Adams Golf."
