Lamkin Sweeps Victories on LPGA and Champions Tours

SAN DIEGO, California, May 10, 2006 - In addition to winning this week’s Wachovia Championship on the PGA Tour, Lamkin announces a veritable weekend sweep of U.S. pro tours with victories at The Franklin American Mortgage Championship on the LPGA Tour and the Regions Charity Classic on the Champions Tour.

On the LPGA Tour, this week’s winner overcame a four-shot deficit, cold temperatures and wet course conditions to earn her seventh career LPGA title playing Lamkin Crossline grips, while the Regions Charity Classic winner put on a spectacular show, shooting a final round 64 (four birdies, one eagle), with Lamkin Crossline Tour Black grips.

“Scoring a win on any pro tour is always a great accomplishment. But winning on three of the world’s most exciting tours — PGA, LPGA and Champions Tour — all in the same weekend is a testament to the superior performance and quality of Lamkin grips,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. “Lamkin has produced the most technologically innovative grips in golf for more than 80 years, and we are very proud that our dedicated specialization in grips has earned us the respect and trust of pro players around the world.”

>From the popular 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.
