AMORY - What was once one of the largest industries in Monroe County, True Temper has reduced its work force by another 60 jobs by eliminating its second shift. The company eliminated its third shift in 2008.

Headquartered in Memphis, the Amory plant manufactures steel golf shafts as well as other steel products.

Company officials declined to comment on the lay offs stating they "are privately owned and not allowed to make any statement regarding our employees or their employment situation."
