Lamkin Corp., a leading manufacturer of premium golf grips, has launched their King for a Day sweepstakes promotion. The centerpiece of the sweepstakes features a VIP trip for one lucky winner, and their guest, to meet Arnold Palmer in his hometown. In addition to the personal meeting and club tour, the package includes a new set of Callaway golf clubs, new Lamkin golf grips, autographed Arnold Palmer memorabilia and a round of golf at his hometown course.

Consumers can register in the sweepstakes at MeetArnoldPalmer.com. There are three simple ways to earn entries: 1.) register up to once per day with a valid e-mail address; 2.) complete Lamkin’s interactive grip selector tool; and/or 3.) enter exclusive codes found on the King for a Day display in the grip section at select golf retailers including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Golfsmith, Edwin Watts and PGA Tour Superstores. The grand prize winner will be selected at the end of June 2013.

“We are incredibly honored to sponsor this sweepstakes with golf’s most beloved and illustrious legend,” said Lamkin CEO, Bob Lamkin. “Lamkin is extremely proud of our partnership with Arnold Palmer and we’re beyond excited to offer one lucky winner this amazing experience.”

Palmer is a winner of seven major championships during his prolific professional career on the PGA Tour which started in 1954, Palmer won four Masters (1958, ’60, ’62 and ’64), back-to-back British Open championships (1961 and ’62), and a U.S. Open title in 1960. Arnold Palmer amassed 92 worldwide championships during his professional career. He is widely considered one of the greatest players and golf ambassadors in the history of the game. His immense contributions, both as a golfer and humanitarian, were recently acknowledged with a Congressional Gold Medal. During the award ceremony, Congressional House Speaker John Boehner called Arnold Palmer a “model of integrity, passion and commitment.”

In addition to the grand prize, Lamkin is offering up dozens of first and second-place prizes that will include Arnold Palmer autographed memorabilia, a golf shopping spree at Dick’s Sporting Goods, EA SPORTS Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 video games, Arnold Palmer Half & Half drinks from Arizona Beverage Company and, of course, Lamkin golf grips.
