The heritage of Lamkin Grips dates all the way back to 1925, which is still 21 years after Canadian George Lyon won the last Olympic gold medal for golf. That was when company founder Elver B. Lamkin began manufacturing golf’s first leather grips.
If you like the sound of the special edition Gold Medal Wrap-Tech grips, they are available through all Lamkin retailers. Just ask at your local pro shop and they’ll be able to guide you in the right direction.
