The International Polo Club Palm Beach was recently awarded a Suncoast Emmy Award, by collaborating with Plum TV on a one- time special sports documentary, which highlighted last year’s U.S. Open Polo Championship TM. The award was presented by The Suncoast Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for dedication to excellence in television, and covered the Southeast region of the United States comprising of Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas and Puerto Rico.
