Joining the Myrtle Beach Tour in 2020 will be Riley
Young. Riley was born in Riverside,
California but moved to Christiansburg Virginia early in life. Riley is a
2012 graduate of Christiansburg High School.
He attended Virginia Tech where he studied Packing Systems and Design.
Prior to the
Covid-19 pandemic, he was working for GoPuff in Blacksburg “Delivering Life’s Essentials Faster”. Terry will be happy
to know that Riley is a diehard Cowboys fan.
He loves the Pokes so much he makes a yearly pilgrimage to JerryWorld to
watch the Boys. He is also a diehard
Lakers fan as well.
When Riley is not
working or playing golf he enjoys Virginia Tech football and basketball. Riley is an avid golfer and is a regular at
The Hill in Blacksburg for their Monday evening tournaments. Over the last few years Riley has been a
regular participant to the Saturday beer, wings and golf outings with a number
of the MB Tour members.
Riley’s path to
the MB Tour actually began a lot earlier than the last few years. Twenty years ago Riley and Kris Buhrdorf were
teammates on the Grizzlies. Not the
Memphis Grizzlies but the Christiansburg Peewee Basketball League
Grizzlies. The team was coached by original
MB Tour members Kevin Buhrdorf and Tom Wilson.
The work ethic and mental toughness Tom and Kevin taught him back in
2000 on the hardwood will suit him well playing the Legends Links.
Riley also played #1 on the Christiansburg HS tennis team, so if he brings his racket, don't think you will be playing some patsy.
Please join us in welcoming Riley to the
Myrtle Beach Tour!!
