Given her veteran status, Harley took a relaxing position to monitor the recent Hornblower Memorial at Plymouth CC.

Harley provides wisdom, experience

There is a sense of timelessness to Plymouth Country Club, one of the truly unheralded great golf courses in our area. Wonderful routing, distinctive elevation changes, challenging doglegs.

There’s so much to love about Plymouth CC, including it being a par 69, much like another Donald Ross gem in our vicinity, Wannamoisett in Rumford, R.I.

While the unique number for its par has been a staple for years, it’s not the only layer of consistency at Plymouth. There’s also Harley, who will turn 11 in October and has been by superintendent Ben Whiting’s side at Plymouth CC from Day 1.

She is a chocolate Lab whose greatest strength all these years has been chasing after geese.

Harley may be competing in the Senior Division these days, “but she still has it when she wants to; it’s crazy,” said Whiting.
