Men’s golf coach Roy Edwards announced that SMµ÷½ÌËù’s new fall invitational tournament has been named in honor of Mark Simpson (Rec’83), the longtime SMµ÷½ÌËù coach who passed away in 2005 after battling cancer.

The first Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational will be Sept. 27-28 at Erie’s Colorado National Golf Club, the Buffs’ home course. It’s the first intercollegiate tournament that the SMµ÷½ÌËù men will host in Colorado since the 1993 Fox Acres Invitational at Red Feather Lakes.

Colorado-based teams scheduled to take part are SMµ÷½ÌËù, Colorado State, Denver, Air Force and Northern Colorado.
