EXPLANATORY NOTE: DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

The Registration Statement on Form S–8 (Registration No. 333-68129) (the “Registration Statement”) of Adams Golf, Inc. (“Adams Golf”), pertaining to the registration of 1,800,000 shares of Adams Golf’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Shares”) (as such amounts may have increased for any stock split, stock dividend, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, distribution to shareholders other than a normal cash dividend or similar adjustment to the outstanding Shares), of Adams Golf, to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates, was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 1, 1998.

Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Apple Tree Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Adams Golf entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 18, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”). On May 30, 2012, at a special meeting of the stockholders of Adams Golf, the stockholders of Adams Golf voted to adopt the Merger Agreement, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

On May 31, 2012, Adams Golf filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on June 1, 2012 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into Adams Golf, with Adams Golf continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). At the Effective Time, each outstanding Share, other than Shares held by Parent or Adams Golf and their affiliates, and other than Shares held by Adams Golf stockholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenters’ and appraisal rights under Delaware law with respect to the Merger, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $10.80 per Share, in cash without interest and less any applicable taxes.

As a result of the Merger, Adams Golf has terminated all offerings of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by Adams Golf in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any Shares which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Adams Golf hereby removes from registration all Shares registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the Effective Time.
