Mary Beth has done an outstanding job of PR. The review in SI by Gary Van Sickle is terrific…worth taking a moment to read. There are two things he mentions, which bring a smile to my face…and I hope does yours as well:
“The tips are terrific for beginners and good players alike.”
“Watson gets an A-plus for explaining golf lingo that might confuse beginners, including swing plane, target line and spine angle.”
All the best at Pebble next week, Tom. We know how you love that theater.

Thanks, MB.
Again, you set the standard for others to live up to. This is the first

First rate.

Mike and I are working on a mutually acceptable date -- probably in the 2nd or 3rd week of August. So that's going well, I really do appreciate everything you've done to get this spot done. It should be the most encyclopedic look at custom fitting we've ever done.

If you're looking for PR representation in the golfing world - Mary Beth's the one. After several disappointing experiences with other agencies we're glad we finally found the best. Mary Beth knows everyone in the golf industry and, just as important, everyone knows her. Among editors and journalists it is well known that Mary Beth only represents the best products and brands which guarantees that they listen if she has something to tell. So if you have an exciting new golf product Mary Beth should be your first choice when it comes to spread the word - if you're lucky enough that Mary Beth is willing to represent you that is...

In my opinion, Mary Beth Lacy is the equivalent of being rescued by a hybrid club. She's extrememly helpful when I need to call upon her expertise, and always available to lend a hand during tight deadlines.
The main portion of my golf operations is the business side of the game, and Mary Beth Lacy has played and will continue to play a big part in assisting me with sourcing information on every piece of equipment from tee to green.
She's a personable professional, too - an invaluable resource in this day and age.

Have I told you lately how good you are at your work? I know if I had a product I wanted to promote, you’d be my choice. Providing the interview for me with Bill Bales was above and beyond.
Thanks.

I got home from working off-site today for a golf event meeting and there was this lovely box from Adams Golf there with an Insight Driver in it! Sweet. Thank you so much for taking care of this for me...just wanted to write and say thanks so much. You are a most wonderful p.r. rep and take care of all my needs so well.

You do a superior job in marketing your clients, MB and I have followed your press releases (and resulting press) closely. It's still rare these days to get a release from which I can cull pertinent information as well as needed ideas, quotes, contact info, the whole ball of wax. No wonder you are so successful; you do it so effortlessly. I suspect your clients have no idea how fortunate they really are.

The equipment side of the golf industry is infamous
for it's intense competition, eight years ago I was determined to increase
awareness of Adams Golf and did not have the funds to undertake a large
advertising campaign. Undertaking a small advertising effort was a
waste of money and by definition small exceeded my meager budget,
further there is a great deal of sameness in equipment advertising
so the challenge was to find a way to increase exposure and do so in
a cost effective manner.
I hadn't specifically considered PR but when the subject came up
the people I knew in the media all gave the same advice – "sign
on MB!" So
with that introduction I sought her out. When we met I realized
she was a professional, further she understood my objectives and
being
an excellent player she understood what message we were trying
to deliver. Over the years she has guided me into many, many opportunities
where
the resultant media coverage was not only excellent, it was the
right
kind – not splashy ads but positive comments from industry insiders,
people who influenced my ultimate customers. One of the best compliments
her efforts ever received were from a competitor who stopped me
at the PGA Show saying, " Barney you must spend a fortune
on advertising I read about you everywhere." Little did he
know that I spent very little, but guided by Mary Beth, the money
was wisely invested.
Even
now in my semi retirement years we still talk and share ideas.
Even if they are philosophical, I'm still talking to a professional
who
during our years together has become my friend.

As a small start up company, Lovett Golf Company is
an OEM in the golf industry. One of our first priorities was to establish
brand awareness. To budget monies for traditional advertising would
have been expensive and limited in targeting our consumer and creating
a brand image.
We were very fortunate in our search for a golf specific PR Firm
to have been considered by Mary Beth Lacy, Inc. in Palm Springs,
CA. Mary
Beth had a tremendous challenge introducing Lovett Golf Company to
the industry and golf consumer. First, we were a start up
company and second, introducing a non-traditional sand wedge, which
had never
been offered in the market before, was not an easy task.
Mary Beth, single-handedly, has brought us into ever corner of
the industry from pro shops to the major periodicals. Without her
expertise
we would never have had an opportunity to be so widely recognized.
Her specialty is the golf business and she knows everyone who writes
about it. There lies the true difference that makes her stand alone.
She has a depth of knowledge and the organization to accomplish
her mission for you. She is dedicated to your best interest.

It is with pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation
for Mary Beth Lacy. We have contracted Mary Beth’s PR services
since March 2004 and she has been a critical part in building brand
awareness
of the Aerotech golf shafts over the past year and a half.
Mary Beth’s contacts in the golf industry and reputation
among golf writers are unmatched. The value of her services is
nothing
less than amazing. Since hiring Mary Beth we have been written
about or
included in articles in just about ever major Golf publication
and website, several times over. I have personally been interviewed
by
several radio stations around the country and featured on a prominent
television show. I firmly believe that we could never have gotten
the sheer volume and quality of exposure with any other PR company.
I would recommend Mary Beth Lacy without reservation to become the
PR firm for your company. If you have any questions, you are welcome
to call me anytime at the number listed below.
