Lamkin Delivers Decisive Win on Ladies European Tour

SAN DIEGO, California, November 6, 2006 - SAN DIEGO —The world’s most recognized grip pattern delivered another winning performance at this weekend’s Mizuno Classic. Playing with tour-proven traction, comfort and superior stability, this year’s Mizuno Classic champion closed with a 6-under 66 on Sunday at the Kashikojima Country Club in Mie, Japan, and earned her fifth victory of 2006 with Lamkin Crossline grips.

Closer to home, Lamkin grips won second- and fourth-place at THE TOUR Championship, adding an additional $1.075 million to its total earnings for 2006.

“Lamkin grips have delivered outstanding performances all year long and through some of the toughest playing conditions in the world. We’re very pleased with another LPGA win and a stellar performance at THE TOUR Championship,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of the Lamkin Corporation. “Lamkin has been family owned and operated for more than 80 years, and we’re proud of the fact that throughout our history, we’ve created premium grips that feature some of the world’s most innovative research and design.”

The Lamkin Crossline is the winningest grip in Lamkin history. The Crossline grip features a proprietary M2 rubber compound that adds tack and durability while the distinctive pattern increases hand-traction and reduces torque for ultimate performance. The Crossline pattern is available on a variety of models, including full cord, mid-size, jumbo, ladies and junior. In the Crossline cord models, soft cord fabric is strategically positioned throughout the grip, adding maximum traction for all-weather conditions.

Lamkin Corporation has been the chosen grip supplier for nearly every major golf club manufacturer and the preferred grip of professional golfers worldwide. In addition to top positions on the 2006 pro money lists, Lamkin achieved wins at several major events on the pro tours this year, including the 2006 Masters Tournament.

Headquartered in San Diego, Lamkin Corporation is a world-leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of Tour-quality golf club grips, featuring greater stability, traction and comfort.
