Jack Anderson

SCHOOL: Zeeland East

GRADE: Junior

ON THE LINKS: OK green all-conference honorable mention, state qualifier 

COACH’S VIEW: "Jack started the season a little slow but played consistent golf for us all season.  He finished strong in the Regional Tournament to earn a spot in the state finals.  He was our number one player and scored in the top four in almost every event this season.  I look forward to seeing him improve over the summer to give himself another chance at the state finals next year," - Carla Stowie

Holland Christian's Isaiah Geerlings

Isaiah Geerlings

SCHOOL: Holland Christian

GRADE: Senior

ON THE LINKS: State qualifier 

COACH’S VIEW: "He was second on the team in whose score counted in the most matches, which speaks to the consistency of his game. Isaiah was incredibly steady all year long, someone we knew we could count on for a good score every single time. He keeps his emotions in check during the round, keeps smiling and shrugs off bad shots by moving on to the next shot quickly." - Caleb Nykamp

Saugatuck's Eli Janowiak

Eli Janowiak

SCHOOL: Saugatuck

GRADE: Sophomore 

ON THE LINKS: All-conference, state qualifier

COACH’S VIEW: "Eli eats, sleeps, and breathes golf. On many occasions, after practice, Eli would go play more golf, or hit the range a second time. His desire to improve is what has allowed him to take such a giant leap from freshman to sophomore year." - Brian Ward

Cade VandenBosch

SCHOOL: Holland Christian

GRADE: Senior

ON THE LINKS: OK Blue All-Conference

COACH’S VIEW:  "Incredibly talented golfer when it comes to ball striking as well as scoring around the greens. Has the unique ability to bounce back from a bad hole by rattling off a bunch of pars in a row and throwing in a couple of birdies." - Caleb Nykamp
