SAN DIEGO -- Winning its fourth major event of the year, Lamkin grips demonstrated superior stability, comfort and tour-winning traction to win the 27th U.S. Senior Open at Prairie Dunes Country Club. Playing Lamkin Tour Black Full Cord grips, this year’s champion is the oldest player to win the U.S. Senior Open and the first player to win back-to-back Senior Opens since Gary Player won the title in 1987 and 1988.
Already this year, grips manufactured by Lamkin have won the 2006 Masters on the PGA Tour; and the Kraft Nabisco Championship and U.S. Women’s Open on the LPGA Tour.
“Tour players only trust grips that perform consistently, and winning four Major titles on three pro tours — PGA, LPGA and Champions — this year has been a terrific testament to the innovative design and level of performance provided by Lamkin grips,” says Bob Lamkin, president and CEO of Lamkin Corp. “We have always been dedicated to grip designs which maximize club control and stability, and we remain committed to providing greater stability, traction and comfort to golfers of all skill levels.”
The Tour Black series has long been a favorite among pro players with its softer rubber compound and unique cord buffing process that combine to provide a much less abrasive feel than traditional cord grips, yet it still delivers the full cord functionality cord players require. The latest grip for 2006, the all-new Lamkin Dual Density Torsion Control series is a perfect fit for the majority of golfers and features an eye-catching blue, Laser-Tac™ surface layer and 20 separate, innovative stabilizing bars to reduce torque and increase club control more than any other grip on the market.
