Arnie’s Army and Lamkin Mobilize for March

Lamkin is proud to sponsor Arnie’s Army Battles Prostate Cancer closest-to-the-pin contests for the fourth consecutive year. The one-day, one-hole, closest-to-the-pin contests held at courses throughout the country help raise prostate cancer awareness and funds to find a cure. The sponsorship is an integral part of Lamkin’s Grips For Life program, which it began four years ago along with Arnold Palmer in an effort to help find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.

To date, Lamkin Corporation has raised more than $340,000 by donating a percentage of every Lamkin branded domestic grip sale to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

Choosing The Right Grip Can Lower Scores

Many golfers don’t realize that the proper grip has a significant impact on their game, and switching to the correctly sized grip with the performance features to fit a golfer’s particular swing is considered by many professionals to be the first step to lower scores.

For example, playing the correctly sized grip allows a player to set the club properly at the top of the backswing. A grip that is too small may cause the clubface to close prematurely which leads to a hook. Conversely, a grip that is too large can cause the clubface to open at impact, resulting in a slice. While most new golf clubs are assembled with standard-sized grips, not all golfers have standard-sized hands so finding the right size can be tricky.

Lamkin Heats Up World Tours

Red hot on pro tours worldwide, Lamkin grips continue to make a winning difference with stability, comfort and traction on pro tours. In recent weeks, Lamkin grips have earned several more tour wins in February — a hot streak that has seen five victories in four weeks.

While the 2007 season is just under way, Lamkin’s Tour Black Full Cord and Royal Sand Wrap grips have already captured victory on the PGA TOUR. Meanwhile, Lamkin’s highly acclaimed Crossline grip grabbed three victories on the European Tour and abroad.
