Lamkin Wins Wachovia Championship

SAN DIEGO, California, May 9, 2006 - Despite the cold. Regardless of rain. This week’s PGA champion enjoyed the traction, stability and comfort of Lamkin’s Classic Half Cord grip which delivered a dramatic, sudden death victory under tough conditions at the Wachovia Championship.

Defeating the climate as well as some of the world’s best golfers, the 14-year veteran finished with a 12-under total of 271 playing Lamkin Classic Half Cord grips which feature Lamkin’s proprietary composite materials and a grip-enhancing cord fabric. In addition to the win, Lamkin added two additional Top 10 money-positions with two different models of its high-performance Crossline series — original Crossline and Crossline Cord.

“For more than eight decades, Lamkin has remained focused on developing golf grips with innovative designs and materials that provide greater stability, traction and comfort,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of the Lamkin Corporation. “And its because of these performance enhancing features that some of the best players in the world continue to play Lamkin grips which have already won more than $14 million on pro tours this season.”

Lamkin explains that the proprietary M2 rubber compound adds tack and durability while the distinctive patterns increase hand-traction and reduce torque for the ultimate performance grips. In the cord models, soft cord fabric is strategically positioned throughout the grip, adding maximum traction for all-weather conditions.
