     On June 5, 2007, Eric S. Salus, who was appointed a Director of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Ashworth, Inc. (the "Company") effective April 16, 2007, entered into an agreement with the Company dated as of June 1, 2007 whereby Mr. Salus will provide consulting services relating to corporate management and operations (the "Agreement").  All assignments under the Agreement must be approved by mutual agreement of Mr. Salus and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  Mr. Salus has agreed to provide such services for five (5) business days per calendar month.  The consulting engagement under the Agreement shall continue until March 30, 2008, but may be earlier terminated by either party with 60-days notice.  <br><br>     In consideration of the time commitments associated with the duties under the Agreement, Mr. Salus shall be compensated for the duration of service under this Agreement with (a) an upfront, non-refundable, one-time cash retainer of $25,000, and (b) an additional cash retainer of $15,500 per month, payable at the end of each month of service.  The foregoing cash compensation will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all cash compensation paid to Mr. Salus for his continuing service on the Board.  Provided that he submits verification of expenses as the Company may reasonably require, Mr. Salus shall be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his services under the Agreement.<br><br>     As additional compensation under the Agreement, the Company granted to Mr. Salus a non-qualified stock option grant covering 10,000 shares of Ashworth's common stock, with an exercise price equal to 100% of fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  The foregoing option shall vest 50% on September 30, 2007 and 50% on March 31, 2008.  Except in the context of a "Change in Control" as described below, vesting shall cease upon termination of this Agreement, for any reason, and the vested portion of the option shall remain exercisable for a period of five (5) years after the date of grant.  The foregoing option grant is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all stock option grants to Mr. Salus for his continuing service on the Board.<br><br>     In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement prior to March 31, 2008 but on or after a "Change in Control," (a) all of Mr. Salus&#x2019; non-qualified stock options granted under this Agreement shall become immediately vested, and (b) all monthly retainers that are due and those that would become payable assuming the Agreement&#x2019;s term extended to March 31, 2008 shall become immediately due and payable.<br><br>     A copy of the Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 5.02.<br><br>     On May 31, 2007, the Board also appointed Mr. Salus as a member of the Special Committee of the Board.  The purpose of such Committee is to review, analyze and consider strategic alternatives for the Company and to promptly report all conclusions and recommendations to the Company&#x2019;s full Board for the Board&#x2019;s information and consideration of any binding action.  Except as expressly provided in its charter, the Special Committee acting alone shall not have any power to act on behalf of or otherwise bind the Company in any way.  In addition to Mr. Salus, the Special Committee currently consists of Messrs. Meyer (Chairman), Carpenter, Hayes and Weil.<br><br>     Additionally, on May 31, 2007, the Board authorized the Company to enter into the previously-approved form of indemnification agreement (the "Indemnity Agreement") with Eric S. Salus, a non-employee director and each of the following officers:  Edward J. Fadel and Eric H. Hohl.  A copy of the Indemnity Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company&#x2019;s Form 8-K filed on December 15, 2006.<br>

     In connection with the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), the Board unanimously approved a slate of director nominees to be considered for election at the Annual Meeting, which shall be comprised of the Class II director nominees (identified below) and Mr. Peter M. Weil, who under the Company&#x2019;s Bylaws is required to stand for election at the Annual Meeting in connection with his move from Class II to Class I.  The slate of Class II director nominees is comprised of current directors Detlef H. Adler, Stephen G. Carpenter and Eric S. Salus and also includes Mr. Michael S. Koeneke, who is a managing member of Knightspoint Partners LLC.  To accommodate the nomination of Mr. Koeneke as a Class II director, the Board has adopted a resolution to increase the authorized number of directors on the Board to 10 directors conditioned upon stockholder approval of the director nominee slate.  Section 1 of Article III of the Bylaws of the Company provides that the authorized number of directors of the Company shall be within a range of three to 15 directors, subject to determination by resolution of the Board or by the stockholders of the Company at an annual meeting.<br><br>     In addition, James B. Hayes will retire from his position as the Chairman of the Board (the "Chairman") effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting due to the time demands imposed by the Chairmanship position.  Mr. Hayes will continue to serve as a director on the Board.  Also effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting, the Board has appointed David M. Meyer to serve as the non-executive Chairman.  Mr. Meyer has served as a director of the Board since May 8, 2006.<br><br>     Additional information with respect to the Annual Meeting, including the date of the Annual Meeting, will be disclosed in the Company&#x2019;s proxy materials when they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  <br><br>     Ashworth, Inc. will file a proxy statement in connection with its 2007 Annual Meeting.  Ashworth stockholders are strongly advised to read the proxy statement when it becomes available, as it will contain important information.  Stockholders will be able to obtain this proxy statement, any amendments or supplements to the proxy statement and other documents filed by Ashworth with the Securities and Exchange Commission for free at the Internet website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. Copies of the proxy statement and any amendments and supplements to the proxy statement will also be available for free at Ashworth's Internet website at www.ashworthinc.com or by writing to Ashworth, Inc., 2765 Loker Avenue West, Carlsbad, CA 92008.  Ashworth, its executive officers and directors may be deemed to be participants in a solicitation of proxies for Ashworth's 2007 annual meeting of stockholders. Information regarding these participants and their interests will be contained in the proxy statement that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.<br>

<P align="center" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>ERIC SALUS AGREEMENT</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>THIS AGREEMENT</B>, dated as of June&nbsp;1, 2007, (the &#147;Effective Date&#148;), is between ASHWORTH, INC., a
Delaware corporation and its successors or assignees (&#147;Ashworth&#148;) and ERIC SALUS, an individual
(&#147;Mr.&nbsp;Salus&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>1.&nbsp;ENGAGEMENT OF SERVICES. </B>Ashworth is engaging the services, advice, expertise and counsel
of Mr.&nbsp;Salus on subjects of corporate management and operations. All assignments to Mr.&nbsp;Salus must
be approved by mutual agreement of Mr.&nbsp;Salus and the Chief Executive Officer of Ashworth.
Mr.&nbsp;Salus agrees to provide such services for five (5)&nbsp;business days per calendar month and his
consulting engagement hereunder shall continue until March&nbsp;30, 2008, but may be earlier terminated
by either party with 60-day notice. Ashworth will make its employees, facilities and equipment
reasonably available to Mr.&nbsp;Salus in order for him to perform his duties under this Agreement. Mr.
Salus may not subcontract or otherwise delegate or assign his obligations under this Agreement
without Ashworth&#146;s prior written consent.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>2.&nbsp;COMPENSATION. </B>In view of the time commitments associated with his duties under this
Agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Salus shall be compensated for all services under this Agreement for the duration of
service under this Agreement with (a)&nbsp;an upfront, non-refundable, one-time cash retainer of
$25,000, and (b)&nbsp;an additional cash retainer of $15,500 per month, payable at the end of each month
of service. The foregoing cash compensation will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and
all cash compensation paid to Mr.&nbsp;Salus for his continuing service on the Board.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">As additional compensation, Ashworth hereby grants to Mr.&nbsp;Salus a non-qualified stock option
grant covering 10,000 shares of Ashworth&#146;s common stock, with an exercise price equal to 100% of
fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The foregoing option shall vest 50% on
September&nbsp;30, 2007 and 50% on March&nbsp;31, 2008. Except in the context of a &#147;Change in Control&#148; as
described below, vesting shall cease upon termination of this Agreement, for any reason, and the
vested portion of the option shall remain exercisable for a period of five (5)&nbsp;years after the date
of grant. The foregoing option grant is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all stock
option grants to Mr.&nbsp;Salus for his continuing service on the Board.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Mr.&nbsp;Salus will promptly be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with the performance of services under this Agreement provided Mr.&nbsp;Salus submits
verification of such expenses as Ashworth may reasonably require. Except in the context of a
&#147;Change in Control&#148; as described below, upon termination of this Agreement for any reason,
Mr.&nbsp;Salus will be paid fees and expenses earned or accrued through the date of termination.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Ashworth terminates this Agreement effective
prior to March&nbsp;31, 2008 but on or after a &#147;Change in Control,&#148; (a)&nbsp;all of Mr.&nbsp;Salus&#146; non-qualified
stock options granted under this Agreement shall immediately become vested, and (b)&nbsp;all monthly
retainers that are due and those that would become payable assuming this Agreement&#146;s term extended
to March&nbsp;31, 2008 shall immediately become due and payable. As used herein, &#147;Change of Control&#148;
shall have the meaning given it in <U>Exhibit&nbsp;A</U> attached hereto and incorporated by this
reference.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>3.&nbsp;NON-EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER. </B>Mr.&nbsp;Salus&#146;s relationship with Ashworth will be that of a
non-executive board member and nothing in this Agreement should be construed to create a
partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship. Mr.&nbsp;Salus will not be entitled to
any of the benefits that Ashworth may make available to its employees, such as group insurance,
profit-sharing, vacation or retirement benefits. Mr.&nbsp;Salus will be solely responsible for all tax
returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state or local tax authority
with respect to his performance of services and receipt of fees under this Agreement. Ashworth
will report amounts paid to Mr.&nbsp;Salus by filing Form&nbsp;1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service as
required by law. Because Mr.&nbsp;Salus is a non-executive board member, Ashworth will not withhold or
make payments for social security; make unemployment insurance or disability insurance
contributions; or obtain worker&#146;s compensation insurance on Mr.&nbsp;Salus&#146;s behalf. Mr.&nbsp;Salus agrees
to accept exclusive liability for complying with all applicable state and federal laws governing
self-employed individuals, including obligations such as payment of taxes, social security,
disability and other contributions based on fees paid to Mr.&nbsp;Salus, his agents or employees under
this Agreement. Mr.&nbsp;Salus hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Ashworth against any and all such
taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>4.&nbsp;NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST. </B>Mr.&nbsp;Salus agrees during the term of this Agreement not to accept
work or enter into a contract or accept an obligation, inconsistent or incompatible with Mr.
Salus&#146;s obligations under this Agreement or the scope of his duties rendered for Ashworth. Mr.
Salus warrants that there is no existing contract or duty on Mr.&nbsp;Salus&#146; part that may conflict with
the terms of this Agreement or the performance thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>5.&nbsp;GENERAL PROVISIONS.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%"><B>5.1 Governing Law. </B>This Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of California. Mr.&nbsp;Salus hereby expressly and irrevocably consents to
the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County or Orange
County, California for any lawsuit filed arising from or related to this Agreement and any suit

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%"><B>5.2 Severability. </B>In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such

never been contained herein.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 8%"><B>5.3 Counterparts. </B>Facsimile transmission of any signed original of this Agreement will be
