The 2013 Bruce Edwards Celebrity Golf Classic will be held June 18 at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, conveniently located 25 minutes from the Philadelphia International Airport.  This 105-year old course is one of the premier golf courses in Pennsylvania, and the course is largely unchanged since it was designed by George C. Thomas in 1908.  Over its storied history, the course has been home to several women’s and men’s professional events as well as the Philadelphia Amateur Championship.

This year’s Celebrity Golf Classic will feature an 18-hole “best ball” tournament.  Foursomes will play a minimum of nine holes with a celebrity golfer (Tom Watson and Andy North have been confirmed;  more will be added soon).  Golf will be followed by cocktails, a buffet dinner and live and silent auctions of unique, one-of-a-kind items.  

Proceeds from the dinner (and the live and silent auctions) will be split with the J. Platt Wood Caddy Scholarship Trust, which provides financial aid to deserving caddies in their educational pursuits.  Since its inception in 1958, the Platt Scholarship has awarded more than $16 million to young men and women.
