NOTICE OF GRANT OF STOCK OPTION AND OPTION AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT 10.51

1. Grant of Option . Effective September 3, 2008 (“ Effective Date ”), you have been granted a Non-qualified Stock Option (“ Option ”) to buy shares of Callaway Golf Company (the “ Company ”) common stock upon the following terms:

The Option is granted to you pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Notice of Grant of Stock Option and Option Agreement (this “ Agreement ”), and the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “ Plan ”), the provisions of which Plan are by this reference incorporated in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling. The Company has provided you with a copy of the Plan and a prospectus for the Plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement, including Exhibit A attached hereto, will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

The exercise price must be paid in the form of cash, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or a designated Board committee (the “ Board ”), in its sole discretion. Upon exercise of the Option, you must pay in the form of a check or cash or other cash equivalents to the Company any such additional amount as the Company determines that it is required to withhold under applicable laws in respect of such exercise. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or its Affiliate to withhold all applicable tax-related items legally payable by you from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or its Affiliate or from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock that you acquire to meet the withholding obligation for tax-related items, and/or (2) withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of the Option that number of shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan), determined as of the date the withholding tax obligation arises, equal to the amount of the total withholding tax obligation; provided, however, that, the number of shares so withheld shall not have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the minimum required withholding. You acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all tax-related items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that Company and/or its Affiliate (a) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any tax-related items in connection with any aspect of the option grant, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the option, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate your liability for tax-related items.

2. Vesting . Subject to Section 3 (Term and Termination) and Section 4 (Cancellation, Forfeiture and Rescission) of this Agreement, and subject to the accelerated vesting provisions, if any, set forth in any employment agreement between you and the Company or its Affiliate, as the same may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, the Option shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth above subject to your Continuous Service through the applicable vesting dates. The Board may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting schedule (in which case it may impose whatever conditions it considers appropriate on the accelerated portion). In addition, the entire Option shall vest and become exercisable immediately prior to any Change in Control, if you are in the Continuous Service of the Company or its Affiliate at that time, provided, however, that the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may provide that such Option does not vest and become exercisable immediately prior to any such Change in Control, and instead provide that the Option shall be assumed or that an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by a successor company, in which case the amount and price of such assumed or substituted option shall be determined by adjusting the amount and price of the Option consistent with the terms of the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board elects to provide that the Option does not vest in connection with a Change in Control and your Continuous Service is terminated for any reason within one year following such Change in Control, then the entire assumed or substituted option shall vest and become exercisable immediately upon such termination of your Continuous Service. For purposes hereof, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

3. Term and Termination . Subject to Section 2 (Vesting), if you cease for any reason to provide Continuous Service to the Company or its Affiliate, that portion of the Option which has not yet vested shall be immediately terminated. Subject to Section 4 (Cancellation, Forfeiture and Rescission) hereof, and except as otherwise provided in this section, the Option shall expire on the earlier of (i) the scheduled expiration date set forth above or (ii) in the case of an Option that has vested, one (1) year from the date on which you cease to provide Continuous Service to the Company or its Affiliate for any reason including death. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Employee remains employed with the Company through December 15, 2011, then subject to Section 4 (Cancellation, Forfeiture and Rescission) hereof (and subject to the conditions set forth in (A) – (D) below), the Option shall expire on the earlier of (i) the scheduled expiration date set forth above or (ii) in the case of an Option that has vested, three (3) years from the date on which you cease to provide Continuous Service to the Company or its Affiliate for any reason including death, provided and only for so long as Employee (A) executes and delivers a fully effective release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B within sixty (60) days after the date of termination of employment, (B) chooses not to engage in any business or venture that competes with the business of the Company or any of its affiliates, (C) does not harm, injure or disparage the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents affiliates, vendors, products, customers or their successors, and (D) continues to comply with Employee’s post-termination obligations under this Agreement.

4. Cancellation, Forfeiture and Rescission .

(a) If during your Continuous Service or during any period thereafter that you are receiving Special Severance from the Company, you directly or indirectly disclose or misuse any confidential information or trade secrets of the Company then:

(1) any unexercised portion of the Option is automatically cancelled as of the date you first committed the act or acts described above (the “Cancellation Date”); and

2.

(2) any exercise of all or any portion of the Option exercised on or after the Cancellation Date or during the “Look-Back Period” preceding the Cancellation Date shall be rescinded, and you shall be required to pay to the Company, within ten days of receiving written notice from the Company, the amount of any gain realized as the result of any such rescinded exercise (the “Option Gain”).

The Company shall notify you in writing of any such rescission within two years of any such exercise. If you are still providing Continuous Service on the Cancellation Date, the “Look-Back Period” is ninety days. If you are no longer providing Continuous Service on the Cancellation Date, the “Look-Back Period” is the longer of ninety days or the number of days elapsed from the date of termination of your Continuous Service to the Cancellation Date. For purposes of this Agreement, an “indirect” use of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets shall be presumed to have occurred if you take a comparable position with a competitor in which case you shall have the burden of proving that no use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets occurred or will occur. For purposes of this Agreement, and in the absence of proof of actual gain on the date of exercise, “Option Gain” shall mean the New York Stock Exchange closing price on the date of exercise minus the exercise price of the Option, multiplied by the number of shares you purchased upon the exercise, without regard to any subsequent market price decrease or increase.

(b) In lieu of paying to the Company any Option Gain required to be paid to Company pursuant to this Section 4 , you may return to the Company the number of shares purchased upon exercise of the Option. You hereby agree that the Company may set off against any amount the Company may now or hereafter owe you the amount of any Option Gain required to be paid by you to Company under this S ection  4. This Section 4 does not limit any other legal or equitable remedy available to the Company. As a condition of each exercise of all or any portion of the Option, you will be required to certify to the Company on a form of notice of exercise acceptable to the Company that you have not committed any of the acts described in paragraph (a) above.

You acknowledge that you have read each provision of this Section 4 and have had an opportunity to ask questions with respect to this Section. You acknowledge that you understand that the Company is granting the Option subject to the terms of this Section 4 .
