Registration Open for the Inaugural Wespath – Bishop Leonard Fairley Golf Invitational

18 Jun Registration Open for the Inaugural Wespath – Bishop Leonard Fairley Golf Invitational

For the 11^th consecutive year, friends of Africa University from South Carolina and surrounding states are signing up to sponsor and play golf in support of Africa University—a private, an-African and United Methodist-related institution located in Zimbabwe, southern Africa.   

This year, the one-day charity event has a new name—Wespath – Bishop Leonard Fairley Golf Invitational—but the  venue, the vibe and the cause that drives engagement, remain the same. 

As a kickoff to the tournament weekend, attendees are invited to the Sunday morning service (Sept. 28^th) and post-worship luncheon at Edisto Fork UMC, a historic United Methodist congregation in the Orangeburg District and the home church of James H. Salley, president and chief executive officer of Africa University (Tennessee) Inc.   

The tournament, scheduled for Sept. 29^th at the Orangeburg Country Club, accommodates 28 four-person teams. As in previous years, golfers, sponsors and friends enjoy a day of friendly competition and fellowship while investing in student scholarships and evolving needs at Africa University

The 2024 tournament proceeds supported student scholarships and helped the South Carolina Conference meet its annual apportionment commitment to the Africa University Fund. All 12 UMCSC districts invested and fielded teams in the tournament.
