PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. (August 17, 2011) – The officers and the board of governors at Plymouth CC — in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania — have selected TL Golf Services to handle public relations for the club, specifically concerning the one-year buildup to the club’s 100th anniversary.
Plymouth CC, a William Flynn-designed private country club that has served the golf-rich Montgomery County area in Philadelphia’s western suburbs since 1912, is in the process of preparing for its greatest celebration. A year-long series of events will lead up to the grand celebration of the 100th anniversary, planned for fall of 2012.
“This is a big opportunity for our club, both to excite and energize the membership as well as educate the community about the great history of Plymouth Country Club,” explained Plymouth president Bill Hirst. “Some of the great names in golf have been involved with the development of this club and all of that history will be celebrated throughout the next year.
The kickoff event for the year of celebration will take place with the help of the award-winning Inside Golf television show, which airs weekly on Comcast SportsNet. The Inside Golf team will be part of a day-long party on Thursday, August 25. On that day Plymouth members will host guests for a day of golf, followed by a trivia contest and a barbecue. Much of the day will be captured by the Inside Golf cameras for part of a special show that will air multiple times beginning Sunday, September 4.
That event will be followed by a similar day of golf and celebration on Friday, September 30. On that day members again will host guests in a special golf outing, followed by another trivia contest, barbecue and recording of the award-winning GolfTalk Live radio show. That show will air from 7 to 8 a.m. Saturday, October 1 on WNTP 990-AM in Philadelphia, as well as anytime after the live airing on www.golftalklive.net.
“We want the members to feel as if they are a very important part of this year-long celebration,” said Plymouth head professional Chris Hanson. “The best way to do that is to get them out here with their guests and let them tell the story of Plymouth Country Club.”
Hirst explained the theory behind the year-long campaign when he said, “TL Golf Services has a strong history of event management and creating excitement. They are very familiar with our club and our story. We hope that, by the end of this year, the golfers throughout the Philadelphia also will be familiar with Plymouth Country Club.”
