SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. …Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation announced today that the majority of golfers who competed in the 141st Open Championship relied on Golf Pride grips to play their best. According to data compiled by the Darrell Survey Company, 119 of the 156 players in the field chose to trust the performance of Golf Pride grips.
Many players in the field relied on Golf Pride’s proven Brushed Cotton Technology. BCT cord helps wick away moisture providing superior all weather control.
