Explanation of Responses:

1. Shares tendered by the reporting person on July 24, 2012 pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger among Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc., Golf Town USA Holdings Inc. and Major Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Golf Town dated May 11, 2012.

2. These shares of common stock of Golfsmith International Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") are and have been directly held by Atlantic Equity Partners III, L.P., since before the initial public offering in June, 2006. A portion of these shares may be deemed attributable to the reporting person because the reporting person is the sole member of Buaron Capital Corporation III, LLC, the managing member of Atlantic Equity Associates III, LLC, the sole general partner of Atlantic Equity Associates III, L.P., the sole general partner of Atlantic Equity Partners III, L.P.

3. The actual pro rata portion of such beneficial ownership that may be deemed attributable to the reporting person is not readily determinable because it is subject to several variables. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by Atlantic Equity Partners III, L.P., except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for the purpose of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
