We’re kicking off the WSFEA weekend with the annual Jay Erickson Memorial Golf Tournament at Oregon City Golf Club — and thanks to the generosity of Burton Mills Solutions, green fees for up to 20 golfers has been fully covered for the 2025 tournament!
Because of this sponsorship, saw filers can participate at no cost, and vendor participants are invited to join by contributing a $90 green fee, paid directly to the WSFEA as a donation. Burton Mills Solutions will cover the course costs for vendor players, allowing 100% of the vendor green fees to go toward supporting the WSFEA.
Deadline to enter is September 5th by contacting Dodi directly for registration.
All golfers should arrive at the course by 8:30am on September 12th. Note that golfers are to provide their own lunch. The course is located at: 20124 S Beavercreek Rd., Oregon City, Or 97045
A big thank you to Burton Mills Solutions for their support of the WSFEA!
