Golfers Collaborate at Stick, Disc Tourney

Golfers and disc golfers will play together at the Montecito Country Club for the 5th annual William Wiersma Golf and Disc Tournament on Monday, Oct. 29, beginning at 1 p.m. The tournament benefits the William Wiersma Memorial Scholarship Endowment at Westmont.

Wiersma graduated from Westmont in 2006 after spending his senior year studying at Oxford University. He was killed in a car accident in October 2006 while returning from an Ultimate Frisbee tournament in Phoenix. The following year, the Wiersmas established a scholarship to honor the principles of collaboration for which Will stood.

“The whole idea is to raise scholarship money by getting as many people as possible, all collaborating on the course at the same time,” says Tom Wiersma, Will’s father. “Having fun while playing stick or disc golf – or as some like to do – playing stick and disc golf.”
