Yellowjacket Golf Teams to Hold Tournament as Fundraiser (Apr. 23, 2004)

BILLINGS, MT – First year coach Roger Burckley and the Montana State-Billings golf teams will host a four-person scramble on May 7 at The Briarwood Country Club as a fundraiser for the new program.  The event is a fundraiser for the Yellowjacket golf teams and is separate from the annual Coca-Cola Yellowjacket Scholarship Tournament, which will be held on June 3 at The Briarwood.

Teams or individuals interested in the May 7 Yellowjacket Golf Tournament can register by contacting coach Burckley at 245-8691.  The tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 8:00 a.m. with lunch and an award ceremony following the completion of the tournament.  Team entries cost $340, or individuals can play for $85.

The Yellowjacket golf program is in its second season and will compete in the Pacific West Conference beginning in 2004-2005.  MSU Billings has the only golf program in Montana that competes at the NCAA level in both men’s and women’s golf.
