33rd Annual PLA Golf Outing
On behalf of the Philadelphia Lacrosse Association, I would like to invite you to participate in the 2025 PLA Golf Classic to be held on Monday, October 20th at SpringfordCountry Club in Royersford, Pennsylvania.
Your participation will support 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. Last year’s PLA Outing featured 100 golfers and 60 corporate and individual sponsors and raised over $29,000. 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.
SEE BELOW for information regarding the event, PURCHASING TICKETS and its festive format. We would welcome you and your company’s participation and sponsorship to help ensure the outing’s success. All sponsors will be recognized prominently in PLA communications.
Please reserve your spot in the outing by online registration. Space in the outing is limited and registrations will be processed on a first come, first served basis.
As in the past, the PLA Golf Classic promises to be a fully subscribed and memorable one. So please come out, catch up with good friends and join the fun, and, at the same time, help make it possible for even more boys and girls in our region to discover the joy of America's native game. Hope to see you there, thanks for your consideration and continuing support.

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.
