Lamkin Renews Partnership with Golf Retirement Plus

In 2005, Lamkin Grips became the first golf grip company to join the family of partners in the supplemental retirement program for PGA professionals, and today Lamkin is proud to announce that it has renewed its partnership with Golf Retirement Plus™.

“The PGA of America is proud to continue its relationship with Lamkin Grips in our family of partners who support PGA Professionals through Golf Retirement Plus,” says PGA of America President Brian Whitcomb. “Lamkin grips are known for their tremendous quality, and our PGA member professionals have benefited from the relationship the company extends through Golf Retirement Plus™.”

Founded in 1997, Golf Retirement Plus™ is a supplemental retirement program for PGA Professionals and apprentices, GCSAA Superintendents and CMAA Club Managers that allows them to make their own contributions or have their employers contribute to their Golf Retirement Plus™ account on their behalf. PGA Professionals may also earn personal incentives by participating in 48 Golf Retirement Plus™ Sponsor Programs.

“Supporting Golf Retirement Plus™ has brought Lamkin much closer to PGA Professionals, and we very much value our partnership,” says Bob Lamkin, president and chief executive officer of the Lamkin Corporation. “Lamkin appreciates the PGA Professionals’ efforts to grow the game of golf, and we are proud to support them through this Golf Retirement Plus sponsorship.”
