Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) hereby requests that the effective date of the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 of the Company (the “Registration Statement”) be accelerated so that it may become effective at 3:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on October 27, 2016, or as soon as possible thereafter. In this regard, the Company is aware of its obligations under the Securities Act. Once the Registration Statement has been declared effective, we respectfully request that you confirm that event with our counsel, Roxane F. Reardon at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, at (212) 455-2758.

 

The Company acknowledges that:

 

·                  should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”), acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;

 

·                  the action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and

 

·                  the Company may not assert Staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
