Lamkin Victories Sweep Three Tours

SAN DIEGO, California, September 11, 2006 - SAN DIEGO — America’s leader in grip innovation for more than 80 years, Lamkin completely dominated the pro tours this weekend, chalking up victories at the Canadian Open on the PGA Tour, the Georgia-Pacific Grand Champions Championship on the Champions Tour, and the John Q. Hammons Hotel Classic on the LPGA Tour.

This year’s Canadian Open champion played Lamkin’s Crossline grips to become the 15th player in tournament history to win both the Canadian and U.S. Opens. On the Champions Tour, this weekend’s winner played Lamkin Tour Black Full Cord grips to claim the lion’s share of the $400,000 purse. And, for the second straight week on the LPGA Tour, Lamkin Crossline grips captured first- and second-place. Both the champion and runner-up at the John Q. Hammons Hotel Classic trusted Crossline grips for superior stability, comfort and traction.

“We’re very excited with these victories on the PGA, LPGA and Champions Tours this weekend, and we congratulate all three champions on their fantastic performances,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of the Lamkin Corporation. “Lamkin has always been dedicated to providing premium, high-performance grips through the industry’s most innovative research and design. It’s rewarding to see such world-renowned players on the major pro tours trust Lamkin grips to deliver winning performances week after week.”

The most popular grip design in Lamkin history, Crossline grips have earned numerous victories over the years with innovative engineering that provides a distinctively tacky feel and added traction. The Crossline pattern was designed to reduce torque and increase hand traction, and is available in a variety of models, including full cord, mid-size, jumbo, ladies and junior. The newest model, the Dual Density Crossline features an outer layer of soft material with the renowned Crossline pattern and a firm underlisting that enhances stability and reduces torque for consistent hand pressure throughout the swing.

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 eight decades.
