PLA's 33rd Annual PLA Golf Outing is in the books!!
On behalf of the Philadelphia Lacrosse Association we would like to thank all those golfers and the Springford Country Club for another successful and well attended event. Over 80 golfers participated in this year's event.
The annual golf outing helps the PLA's nonprofit mission to promote lacrosse in the Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania, particularly our New Start Program, which provides technical and financial assistance to new lacrosse programs. The proceeds from the outing helped the PLA do the following:
-
Support the PIAA Public Lacrosse League and youth and middle programs in Philadelphia and beyond (including Eyekonz, Harlem Lacrosse, Youth Mentoring Program and others);
-
Continue our stick donation and refurbishing program, which benefits teams in the City and Greater Philadelphia;
-
Conduct/sponsor coaches’ clinics;
-
Maintain the USA Lacrosse Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter Hall of Fame, which will induct the Class of 2025 on October 19th at Spring Haven Country Club; and
-
Promote diversity and inclusion in the sport.

THE COURSE
Spring Ford, carved from the gently rolling countryside of Western Montgomery
County, enjoys a rich architectural pedigree dating back to 1924. William
Gordon (who designed Saucon Valley's Grace & Weyhill courses and was a
central figure in the revisions at both Shinnecock Hills and The Country
Club) designed the original course. In recent years, the course has been
updated based on a master plan developed by one of our generation’s greatest
architects, Gil Hanse. Spring Ford features Mingo Creek meandering through
its acreage. With water hazards on nine of the 18 holes, Spring Ford
routinely ranks as one of the sterner tests of golf in the region.
