The 13th Annual Gene R. George Memorial Golf Tournament was hosted by the WGA, the SPE and the SME on Friday, June 14th, 2024 at Three Crowns Golf Club in Casper, Wyoming
Unlike the June 2023 tournament, which was rescheduled to August due to record-breaking rainfall, this year’s tournament went off without a hitch.
This year’s tournament netted, after expenses, a total of $6,314.02. The WGA, the SPE and the SME each received $2,104.67 to go toward their respective scholarships.
The 1st place team this year was “Good Good” (WWC Engineering, Sheridan) with golfers Gene Leath, Jessica Bolerjack, Gabe Dahmke and Brad Bentz.
The 2nd place team was “Project Golf” (EORI #2 team), consisting of Scott Dobson, Scott Ellingson, Fred DeVore and Lon Whitman.
Rounding out the top three the Misfits (formerly El Chupacabras) finished third and consisted of Andrew Harris, Tom Smoll, Billy Baker and Keegan Clemens.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams each received a plaque and gift certificates to Durbin Street Golf in Casper.
