Geyer Memorial Tournament Sept. 16

This year's Andrew Geyer Memorial Scholarship Tournament will take place Friday, Sept. 16, at Rookery North golf course in Milford.

Geyer was a standout golfer for Wesley College in Dover as well as for Milford High School. He died when a drunk driver hit him as he walked along a road in Morgantown, W.Va., where Geyer had gone to see a West Virginia University basketball game.

Friends and family organized this successful tournament to raise scholarship money for deserving Wesley students in his memory. The first such event took place in 2014.

The $100 entry fee for each golfer in the four-player scramble format covers the range balls, greens fees, carts, door prizes and dinner following the 1 p.m. shotgun start. There will also be a silent auction.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more information, contact Rookery assistant golf pro and Wesley alumnus Chris Osberg at 302-684-3000.
