Lamkin Sponsors Cleveland Golf Golden State Tour

Demonstrating its commitment to support young golf professionals, Lamkin proudly announces it has partnered with the Cleveland Golf Golden State Tour and become the tour’s exclusive ‘Official Grip Partner’ and ‘Official Scoring Sponsor.’

The new Cleveland Golf Golden State Tour (CGGST) debuted this spring and features 15, 54-hole tournaments at courses throughout California in 2007 with 18 events planned in 2008. The CGGST was created to provide a top-quality training ground for young professionals in California looking to gain competitive experience, and tournament purses will range from $80,000 to $125,000.

Lamkin Grips Win Around the World

Red hot on Tour, Lamkin grips keep winning. With superior stability, comfort and traction, Lamkin grips dominated pro tour events around the world with four victories in May. The original Crossline, Crossline Half Cord, Tour Black and Royal Sand Wrap models manufactured by Lamkin together garnered more than $2.4 million in first--place winnings.

“Pro players around the world rely on Lamkin grips to give them a competitive advantage, and we’re very excited with four more tour victories this month,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corporation. “Lamkin grips continue to lead the industry in advanced material engineering and performance-enhancing innovation, and already this year we’ve chalked up multiple wins on every pro tour in the world.”

Grip Size Matters

Often overlooked as a fitting concern, matching the right size grips to your hands is one of the most important aspects of your equipment and can have a significant impact on your performance. Grips that are either too small or too large for a player’s hands can cause hooks or slices, and — more often than not — clubheads and swing mechanics receive the blame.

Arnold Palmer has trusted Lamkin grips throughout a career that included more than 1,000 pro tour events, 92 victories, four Masters and two British Open titles, and he knows the importance of playing the correct grip size.
