SAN DIEGO (May 22, 2006) — Lamkin high-performance golf grips demonstrated superior stability, tour-winning traction and incomparable comfort this weekend to win the Henrico County Open, at The Dominion Club in Richmond, Va. The victory was the sixth pro tour win in three weeks for Lamkin, making America’s first golf grip manufacturer arguably the hottest grip manufacturer in golf today.
May has been a particularly high-profile month for Lamkin. Already this month, the technologically innovative grips have won on every major tour with victories at: Wachovia Championship on the PGA Tour; Franklin American Mortgage Championship and the Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill on the LPGA Tour; Regions Charity Classic on the Champions Tour; Henrico County Open on the Nationwide Tour; and the Andalucia Open on the European Tour.
