<P align="center" style="font-size: 11pt">EXHIBIT A &#150; RELEASE AGREEMENT



<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 4%">I, Eric R. Hohl, hereby enter into this Release Agreement (this &#147;Agreement&#148;), pursuant to
Paragraph&nbsp;7 of the letter agreement, dated March&nbsp;<U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, 2007, with Ashworth, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), in consideration for which the Company shall make the severance
payment as described in the letter agreement (the &#147;Employment Agreement&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 4%">1.&nbsp;The date of my employment termination is <U>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</U>, and I have received a final
paycheck for all wages due, including all accrued vacation, through that date. Other than the
severance payment as described in my Employment Agreement, the foregoing payments are the only
amounts which I am entitled to receive from the Company, and I hereby waive all other payments or
claims for payments.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 4%">2.&nbsp;As consideration for the severance payment as described in my Employment Agreement, I
hereby release the Company, its successors, affiliates, directors, employees and agents from any
and all claims or lawsuits (including but not limited to any and all claims or demands relating to
salary, wages, bonuses, commissions, stock, stock options, vacation pay, fringe benefits, expense
reimbursements, any and all tort claims, contract claims (express or implied), wrongful termination
claims, public policy claims, whistleblower claims, implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing
claims, retaliation claims, personal injury claims, emotional distress claims, invasion of privacy
claims, defamation claims, fraud claims, attorneys&#146; fees claims, all claims arising under any
federal, state or other governmental statue, law, regulation or ordinance including, but not
limited to, Title&nbsp;VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities
Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Fair Employment &#038; Housing Act, the California
Labor Code, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (&#147;ADEA&#148;), the Older Workers&#146; Benefit
Protection Act (&#147;OWBPA&#148;)) which I may have based either on my employment, my termination, or any
other event occurring prior to the date of this Agreement. This Release is intended to settle any
and all claims that I may have against the Company. Accordingly, I waive any and all rights
conferred under Section&nbsp;1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: <B>&#147;A general release does
not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time
of executing the release which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with
the debtor.&#148;</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 4%">3.&nbsp;The foregoing release shall not serve as a waiver of my rights to (a)&nbsp;vested benefits such
as 401(K), (b)&nbsp;workers compensation or unemployment benefits, (c)&nbsp;statutorily-required
indemnification under California Labor Code Section&nbsp;2802, (d)&nbsp;the right to file a complaint or
charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or (e)&nbsp;any other benefits, rights or
claims that cannot be released as a matter of law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 4%">4.&nbsp;I acknowledge and understand my continuing obligation (a)&nbsp;to maintain the confidentiality
of the Company&#146;s trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information and (b)&nbsp;not to solicit the
Company&#146;s customers or employees, as set forth in Paragraph&nbsp;8 of my Employment Agreement. I also
warrant and represent that I have returned all Company materials as required in Paragraph&nbsp;8 of my
Employment Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 4%">5.&nbsp;I acknowledge that I fully understand my right to discuss this Agreement with an attorney,
and I have carefully read and fully understand this entire Agreement, and I am entering into this
Agreement voluntarily.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 4%">6.&nbsp;I understand that I shall have twenty-one (21)&nbsp;days from the date of receipt of this
Agreement to consider this Agreement, I shall have seven (7)&nbsp;days following the signing of this
Agreement to revoke it in writing, and this Agreement shall not be effective or enforceable until
this revocation period has expired.
