Lamkin Grips Cash-In on the Off-Season’s Richest Purse

SAN DIEGO, California, December 15, 2005 - Demonstrating superior stability, traction and comfort during intense competition, Lamkin grips captured first-, second- and third-place at the Target World Challenge and grabbed the lion’s share of the biggest payoff of the PGA’s off-season. Lamkin’s Crossline grips, featuring increased hand traction and reduced torque, dominated the tournament with three different models reaching the top three money positions and delivering approximately $2.5m in winnings.

“We’re very excited about this week’s win at the Target World Challenge. To see the best golfers in the world choose Lamkin grips above all others and then win at the highest levels of competion is an incredibly rewarding experience,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. “For more than 80 years, our family-owned business has produced high-quality golf grips using innovative technologies and the most advanced material research. Every win we receive on the world stage is a testament to the superior stability, traction and comfort of Lamkin grips.”

Lamkin Crossline grips are specifically designed to reduce torque and increase hand traction with a distinctly soft feel, and are available in a variety of models, including lite, full cord, mid-size, logo-down, ladies and junior. The Perma Wrap and Perma Wrap Classic combine serious durability and performance for the player who prefers a wrap-style grip. The exceptional tacky feel and extra traction provide the desired feedback from the clubhead. The Perma Wrap classic also includes a non-slip surface that is moisture retardant.

Lamkin Corporation has been the chosen grip supplier for nearly every major golf club manufacturer and the preferred grip of profesional 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 80 years.
