DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Callaway Golf Company (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to deregister certain securities that were initially registered by the Registrant pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 initially filed on August 14, 2000 (Registration No. 333-43756) (the “Registration Statement”). Pursuant to the Registration Statement the Registrant registered 500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share for issuance under the 2001 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and 3,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share for issuance under the 1996 Stock Option Plan. Neither the 2001 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan nor the 1996 Stock Option Plan remain in effect and all rights to purchase securities under the 2001 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Stock Option Plan have been exercised or have expired. Pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement, we are filing this Post-Effective Amendment to deregister, as of the effective date of this Post-Effective Amendment, all securities remaining unsold under the Registration Statement relating to the 2001 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

The following exhibit is being filed or furnished herewith:
