Lamkin Wins First LPGA Major of 2006

SAN DIEGO, California, April 3, 2006 - SAN DIEGO —The 2006 Kraft Nabisco Championship and the first LPGA Major of 2006, held at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif., continued to provide excitement for Lamkin which has enjoyed tremendous success on professional tours this year. Marking a dramatic conclusion to the final round of the tournament, the player fit with the stability, traction and comfort of Lamkin Crossline grips prevailed.

“The Kraft Nabisco Championship was a great victory, and we’re very pleased that more and more pro tour players are turning to Lamkin grips for game-winning results,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. “Lamkin has produced the most technologically advanced grips in golf for more than 80 years, and the Crossline is one of our most popular grips in our company’s history. Played by this week’s champion, the Crossline grip provides magnificent execution with a unique rubber compound that provides increased traction for any weather condition.”

From the Crossline to the new Dual Density Torsion Control, Lamkin grips provide the right feel for any player. The Crossline series, for example, features a distinctive pattern designed to increase hand traction while the latest grip for 2006, the Dual Density Torsion Control, offers a softer, tacky surface layer and innovative stabilizing bars that reduce torque and increase club control.

Lamkin Corporation has been the chosen grip supplier for nearly every major golf club manufacturer and the preferred grip of professional golfers worldwide. From the new Dual-Density Crossline to the Perma-Wrap Classic and original Crossline, every Lamkin grip features the technical innovation and exacting performance standards that have set the industry standard for more than 80 years.
