Lamkin to Provide Free Grips to College Teams
San Diego, CA (March 21, 2011) --As a co-
sponsor of the 2011 San Diego Inter-Collegiate
Championship, held at the San Diego Country
Club on March 14-15, Lamkin Grips kicked off
its new collegiate support initiative by offering
premium grips and grip installation to all
members of the 12 teams in attendance.
Lamkin took advantage of the event to
introduce a new College Support program that
will provide free golf grips to all coaches of
Division I and II college teams.
“I’m passionate about this program because it
allows us to give something back to the
players and coaches who work so hard to
maintain the integrity of this great game,” said
CEO Bob Lamkin.
Lamkin Grips is an equal opportunity provider.
Its newest initiative is available to any eligible
Division I and II women’s golf teams as well.
Coaches who are interested in receiving new
grips can select from any of Lamkin’s current
grips and then send their request directly to
Lamkin.

p. Maintaining and upgrading a player’s
grips is a critical component for all golfers, but
is especially important at the collegiate level
with such a high number of rounds played. At
last weekend’s San Diego Intercollegiate
Classic, where local powers San Diego State
(ranked No. 6 nationally) and the University of
San Diego (No. 19) finish third and fourth,
respectively, the field was ripe for an
opportunity that only Lamkin Grips could
provide.
“We’re always trying to educate golfers on the
importance of regripping,” said Lamkin. “After
50-60 rounds, or about once a year for most
golfers, clubs should be regripped. At the
collegiate level, players are regripping much
more often so providing free grips to their
coaches is a great bonus!”
