Lamkin’s Royal Grips Take Masters Crown

SAN DIEGO, California, April 10, 2006 - SAN DIEGO — Recently after a strong showing at THE PLAYERS’ Championship, Lamkin grips have captured the year’s first Major event by winning the 2006 Masters Tournament with a Royal Grip brand Sand Wrap grip. With the win at Augusta, high-performance golf grips manufactured by Lamkin, a world leader in grip innovation, have won on the PGA TOUR for two consecutive weeks.

“The Masters Tournament is one of the game’s most revered tournaments, so every win at Augusta National is incredibly exciting,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of the Lamkin Corporation. “Lamkin was manufacturing premium, high-performance grips a full decade before the very first Masters Tournament, and we’re very honored that Lamkin grips are a continuing part of its grand heritage.”

Lamkin explains that the Royal Grip Sand Wrap has been a staple on the PGA Tour for several seasons because it provides excellent traction through an innovative sand-like surface, which allows players to accelerate the club significantly without worrying about slippage.

The Royal Grip line combines years of Tour experience and multiple material compounds for a wide variety of textures, surface patterns and feel combinations. From buffed, soft, velvet-like textures to the Sand Wrap for maximum traction, the Royal Grip brand provides Tour-winning performance and allows players to choose their own winning feel.
