Nick is highly motivated to be a good person, good student, and good player. After Nick learned of the tragedy of the Grayling Golf Team he was the 1st on our team to put on the green ribbon and dedicated his season to the Grayling team and those lost on that tragic day. He is a mentor and leader for Hamilton Golf Team and his teammates learn from his example. Nick’s teachers are impressed with his hard work in the classroom and he is currently carrying a very impressive GPA. He is learning to balance his time on the range and time hitting the books. Nick’s season was another successful one. It is difficult to match the season he had in 2012, but he did his best to top it. Nick was medalist at two invitationals, conference, district, regional, and runner up at Division II State Finals played at the Meadows @ GVSU. The highlight of his season was his victory at the Hamilton Invitational. Nick’s incredible 10 under par 62 earned him a 13 shot victory. It was a day we will not soon forget at Hamilton! 12 Reed Hyrnewich Mona Shores Scott Volkman Reed was medalist in 8 tournaments, 2 of 3 jamborees, and only finished outside of the top 10 once. His scoring average for 18 holes was 72.2 and his 9 hole average was 35. He has been a 3-time All-State Super Team member, named 4time All-Conference and 4-time All-Area. He was the medalist in the Conference this year and at the Districts fired a three under par 69 in brutal conditions at the Muskegon Country Club. He finished 4th in the Regional and just outside of the top 10 at MHSAA State Finals. He played a very tough and demanding schedule on courses like Oakland Hills, Forest Akers West, Muskegon Country Club and, the Meadows. It is remarkable that Reed posted such a great scoring average for his season. Coach Volkman states “one tournament does not make a golfer but Reed’s consistency throughout the year shows true success”. With Reed’s tireless work ethic his performance on the golf course and his dedication in the classroom it is no wonder Reed will be attending the University of Michigan in the fall of 2013 and will be a member of the Wolverine Golf Team. 8 11 Alex Kleckner Lakeland Hugh Felt Alex has lettered all three years on the Lakeland Varsity team. This season Alex helped lead the Eagles to an undefeated 10-0 league record, 29-1 over his three season career. He has been an All-Conference selection every year. This season was a special one for Alex. He led his team with a 74.2 tournament avg. helping Lakeland make it back to the MHSAA State Finals for the first time in 17 years. His run during the play-offs was impressive carding 4 over par total for the four rounds. He closed with a 69 on the second day of State Finals and this put him in a tie for medalist. A big part of his success is his tireless work ethic. Alex will practice on his own putting in large numbers of hours each week. One would think that with his devotion to practice time his academics would take a back seat, but that is not the case as he carries a very impressive GPA and ACT score. 12 Landon Osborne Battle Creek Lakeview Tony Evans Landon finished his senior season and career at Lakeview with outstanding play. He was named First Team All-Conference for the third straight season. Landon earned ten top 10 finishes this season. His low score of 67 earned him medalist honors at the Lakeview Invitational. Landon saved his best for last when he carded rounds of 73 at the Districts, 73 at Regionals, 75 on day one and another 73 on day two of the MHSAA Division I State Finals. The two day total of 148 placed Landon 4th this season earning him his second Division I State Finals top 10 finish. Landon’s leadership both on and off the course were invaluable to the success of the Spartan golf team this season. His play and that leadership helped the team capture the 2013 Division I State Title played at Forest Akers West on the MSU Campus. Landon is also an exceptional student, as he graduated with all A’s except for one B+. Landon will continue his academic career at Ashford University in Iowa and will be a member of the St. Bernard Golf Team. 9 12 Kyle Rodes Plymouth Nick Brandon Kyle is not just the best player in the history of Plymouth High School golf, he is easily one of the best players in the state of Michigan. His senior year confirmed both of those ideas. Kyle finished the season with a 71.4 scoring average and a variety of individual and team accomplishments. Kyle finished with KLAA AllConference, MHSAA All-District No. 9, and MHSAA All-Regional honors to go with medalist honors at some of the local area's most elite high school tournaments: Indianwood C.C. (New Course), Birmingham C.C., Forest Akers (East Course), and Salem Hills G.C. for the KLAA Kensington Championship. Kyle led the 2013 Plymouth Wildcats to the KLAA South Division Championship (and a 10-0 record), the KLAA Kensington Conference Championship, the MHSAA District No. 9 Championship, and a runner-up finish (losing by one shot to Saline) at the MHSAA Grosse Ile Regionals played at West Shore C.C. Kyle finished his senior year by earning individual State Champion (in a three-hole playoff) with a two-day total of 143 at Forest Akers West as Plymouth finished in second place overall. His uncompromising work ethic and strong leadership skills have also led Kyle to a golf scholarship at Eastern Michigan University, where he will be enrolling in fall, 2013. 11 Alexander (AJ) Varekois Rockford James Earl Cullum AJ carded the very best season by an individual at Rockford High School under Coach Cullum’s leadership. He posted six tournament victories, two seconds place finishes and three third place finishes. In conference 9-hole play he was the medalist in 5 of 7 matches. AJ was the OK Red Conference Champion with the lowest scoring average by over a full shot. He won the post season tournament and placed second in the other. AJ won the Division I Regional tournament by 3 shots with a 5 under par 67 to send his team to the State Finals for the first time in 10 years. He finished third at the MHSAA Division I State Finals with a two day total of three over par (73/74) 147. His season scoring average was 72.8. He led his team in performance, work ethic, and attitude. 10 9 Andrew Walker Battle Creek Lakeview Tony Evans Andrew had an outstanding freshman season for the Spartans. He earned AllDivision and First Team All-Conference honors. He captured the Conference Medalist honors when he fired rounds of 69 & 74 for a two day total of 1 under par 143. Andrew earned top 10 honors in all of his regular season events. He shot 6 under par 18 hole rounds this season setting a new school record. Andrew fired one of his best rounds in one of the toughest fields in the state when he carded a 3 under par 67 at Oakland Hills Country Club. He led the team to their 5th straight MHSAA District title when he earned medalist honors with an impressive two under par 69. At the State Finals Andrew shot 77 on day 1 and 76 on day two for a two day total of 153, gave him a top 20 finish. Andrew, although small in stature, has a big game and plays like a seasoned veteran. He is an outstanding student as well carrying a perfect 4.0 through his freshman year. Andrew was a key part of the success of our team this season as he the Spartans captured the Division I State Championship held at Forest Akers West on the MSU campus. 12 Sam Weatherhead G.R. West Catholic Andy Weatherhead Sam capped an outstanding high school career by winning his second straight Division 3 State Championship. Sam is the reigning State of Michigan Mr. Golf. Sam won eleven of the nineteen events he was entered in. Sam is a three time MIGCA All-State selection, four time conference player of the year, and most importantly a top thirty grade point average of his graduating class. All of these accomplishments are fantastic but what makes this young man even more special is how his opponents feel about him. One young man playing in the finals said to me “playing with Sam was the best golf experience of his life!” The burden of expectations is a heavy burden indeed and the reason his coach is most proud and impressed by Sam’s is his ability to handle this pressure and truly thrives on it. Not only is Sam an amazing golfer, he is a better example to all student athletes. 11 2013 Girls All State Super Team 11 Elayna Bowser Dearborn Howard Inch Elayna is a fantastic high school golfer who just completed a great season with a second place finish in the Division 1 State Finals. Coach Inch said “I have never seen anyone work so hard and improve so quickly in high school golf”. This season Elayna rewrote the Dearborn High record book for girls’ golf. She set a school records with her season scoring average of 37.97, another record with her 2nd place finish at the MHSAA State Finals which was the best finish for a Dearborn player. Her score of 35 in a 9 hole match and score of 72 at a tournament, along with 12 top ten finishes capped off her record breaking season. Despite these amazing accomplishments, she was much more proud of her team's feat of reaching the MHSAA State Finals for the second year in a row. Her team also set the school records for low score in a 9-hole match posting a 165, and low score in an 18-hole tournament of 329. Elayna is greatly valued as a golfer, but she was much more important to her team as a captain, leader and a person. Elayna displays life skills that her teammates can take with them into their future after high school golf is over. 11 Cordelia Chan Cranbrook-Kingswood Mark Moyer Cordelia finished a memorable junior season as regional medalist at Fieldstone carding a 78, as well as at the Division III State Champion at Grand Valley's Meadows Course. She was the only player with both rounds in the seventies (78 & 79) on the par 73 layout. The individual state title capped an impressive season, as she lowered her 18-hole tournament scoring average by six strokes to 77. Other highlights included a personal-best 71 and co-medalist honor at the Troy Invitational at Twin Lakes, as well as a 34 two under par in a dual-match at Cracklewood Golf Course. Her League average was an outstanding 37.8, earning her All- Catholic League honors. She was also named to the All Oakland County Team, shooting a 78 at Pontiac Country Club. Cordelia served as a Co- Captain for the Cranes, which finished the season with a perfect 11-0 dual match record and a runner-up finish at the States Finals. Outside of golf, Cordelia carries an impressive GPA and is a Section Editor of the school newspaper. She is also active in the school’s Gold Key and Sino clubs and enjoys reading, cooking and travel. Much of her success can be attributed to all the practice and tournament rounds played in the spring and summer. She just has that dedication to the sport and the hunger to never stop wanting to improve. Cordelia is already looking forward to her senior season, with a goal of helping make her team even better. 12 12 Pader Her Holt Doug Harkema Pader finished out her fabulous career at Holt with another record setting season. She won six invitationals and her first was the prestigious Traverse City Invitational. During that tournament she finished off her second round with a back nine score of 29 on Spruce Run. She had six runner-up finishes and finished in the top three in every regular season tournament she played. She also won the Greenville Invitational, the Ernie Popiel Memorial and the Tullymore Invitational. Her win at the Tullymore Invitational broke the school record when she fired an 18 hole score of 69. She won the conference tournament shooting another 69. She also won her third Regional title by shooting another 3 under par 69 at Stonewater Country Club. That win led Holt to its tenth consecutive trip to the Division 1 State Finals. Pader won the individual player of the year for Capital Area Activities Conference for the second consecutive year. That was a tough accomplishment since some of the top players in the State compete in the CAAC. Pader completed her four year career at Holt by finishing 6th at the MHSAA State Finals on the tough Forest Akers West Course. Academically Pader can be proud as she was a member of Holt High School’s four consecutive All State Academic teams. She will attend The University of Akron on a golf scholarship in the fall of 2014. 12 Monica Koert NorthPointe Christian Tom Koert Monica is a two time All-State player and named to the Honorable Mention team as a freshman. She led her team to a 2nd place finish at the MHSAA State Finals and placed herself 2nd as an individual. At Regional, Monica finished in 1st place. She placed 1st at fourteen out of seventeen events this season. In conference play, Monica was the Conference scoring champ for the second year in a row and conference medalist in all nine events. In tournament play, Monica was medalist seven times. Two of her best rounds were played at Katke Golf Course where she carded a 69, winning medalist honors and again at Yankee Springs scoring a one under par 72 for medalist honors. Dominating most events, Monica was under or even par, seven times. She recorded 54 birdies in this 2013 season. Monica was named Burger King Athlete of the week in recognition for being named medalist seven times in a row in early September. She was named to the All Area First Team by the Advance Newspaper. At the State Finals, her 75 on day 2 was key to her team earning their best ever State Finals team finish. Monica set every scoring record at NorthPointe this season. For her career, Monica won sixteen tournaments, and earned a top ten medal in 34 of 37 tournaments. She led NorthPointe Christian and was team medalist in 64 of 68 events in her four years run. For the 2013 season she was named the Grand Rapids Press Player of the Year. She will be attending Ferris State University in the fall of 2014 where she will be a member of the Bulldog Golf Team. She plans to join the Professional Golf Management Program. 13 12 Elle Nichols Okemos Danial Stolz Elle has finished her 4 year varsity career by winning her third consecutive Division II individual State Championship after finishing fifth as a freshman. Three consecutive titles have only been done one other time in MHSAA history. Elle was an MIGCA Dream Team member as a sophomore and a junior. She has won three consecutive Regional Championships and has been a First Team All CAAC Blue member all four year of her high school career. This season, Elle had the lowest average in the State at 73.2 and was medalist in nine events, while never finishing lower than 2nd in any tournament. Elle set a course record of 64 at Willow Wood Golf Course breaking her own record of 65 set last year. Elle has also made it to the Sweet 16 the last two summers in the State Amateur, and finished in the top 10 at the GAM State Amateur the last 2 years. Elle is the two time Lansing State Journal Player of the Year, and is also a two time Channel 6 Player of the Week. She is a National Honor Society member and has been the leading scorer on the Girls Basketball Team. Elle is an even better person and leader than she is a player, motivating and encouraging her teammates while making new friends with each tournament she plays in. Elle has accepted a scholarship to play golf at Oakland University in the fall of 2014. 12 Lily Pendy Grosse Pointe South Mike Rennell Lily has been an outstanding member of the Grosse Pointe South golf team for four years. Over Lily’s four years, the team won a state championship her sophomore year, and has never finished higher than 4th in the state. She is a leader, and a great player. Lily works on her game year round. Lily plays all summer in AJGA tournaments, and in the winter her family takes vacations in the south in order to play. Lily is tenacious with her practice. She accepts nothing but excellence. She also continually works with the younger players to help them improve their game. Lily finished in the top six in each of the eight tournaments she played in this year. Her scoring average was 75.6 for tournament play. Lily’s average score in league play was 37.5, leading the team to an undefeated season of 8-0. She set a school record of a one under par 71 at the Fortress. Lily was medalist at the Region 3 tournament at Dearborn Country Club, and Division I Individual State Champion at Forest Aker West, clearing the field by six strokes. Her play has been outstanding all year. Perhaps Lily’s best asset is her ability to keep her game under control. Lily keeps a great attitude on the golf course. Her course management is excellent and her ability to get up and down from tough situations is the key to her game. Lily has great focus on the golf course, while maintaining a friendly attitude with her competitors. Her etiquette on the golf course is exemplary, and she works with the younger players to teach them how important golf etiquette is while playing. Lily is a true role model and a leader. She will be greatly missed next year. 14 12 Jacqueline Setas Lansing Catholic Mary Schafer You can always count on Jacqueline’s big personality and smile on and off the course, as she is recognized by her peers as one of their favorite playing partners. As the Medalist in all of the League matches she played, Jacqueline captured first place honors at four out of six Invitationals this season. They were The Kelly Girl's Golf Tournament at The Fortress (70), East Lansing Invitational at Walnut Hills (73), The Charger Invitational at Flint Golf Club (75) and The Titan Invite at Jackson Country Club (72). All were victories against the best players in the state! As fall approached, Jacqueline's hard work and perseverance paid off. In stellar fashion, Jacqueline went on to win Regionals (74) and a Division IV State Title (77-73/150) to beat the entire field by 9 strokes at Bedford Valley. The conditions were treacherous as the cold, wind and rain rolled in on the second day of competition. However, Jacqueline's determination and ability to play well under adversity enabled to her to shoot a 73 and capture the Division IV Individual Title. Her second day score was the lowest of any division in the State that day! Her 2013 Individual Title can be added to her already three consecutive Division IV Team Championships. Jacqueline has been All League for four years and to date she has been All Area for two years, All State for two years and a member of the Super Team last year. She was named 2012 Lansing State Journal Player of The Year and 2013 Lansing State Journal Co-Player of The Year.

She followed with earning SEC All Conference honors for four years and becoming a two time All-State player. She has had a fantastic senior season to end her high school career. Emily was medalist in six of eight invitationals, shooting par or better in five of them, including sub-par rounds of 71 at Milford, 67 at Holt, 74 at Grosse Ile and 71 at Birmingham while playing against top competition. She finished in the top 4 of every event she played in this year. During a span of 10 days Emily shot 9 under par while playing in 8 matches/tournaments without any rounds over par. She led the Southeastern All-Conference Team finishing as the Medalist in 9 of 10 SEC matches and Medalist at the SEC Conference Tournament. She was the Regional Medalist shooting 5 under par 67 at the University of Michigan G.C. At the Division 1 State Finals at Forest Akers West G.C.

She averaged 74.08 on a par average of 72.08. Besides being a successful athlete Emily is an even better person. Being on the Saline Honor Roll every trimester while taking AP courses, she has set a great example to younger players, helping them learn to balance athletics and academics. A senior captain, Emily is the epitome of a Saline athlete and proudly lives the core values of team, integrity, loyalty, responsibility, accountability and honesty. She is considerate of others, a strong competitor who plays fair and a good sport whether she is playing well or not. Emily plans to play Division I or II college golf and study pre-Pharmacy, intending to eventually earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. With her strong work ethic and devotion to excellence, it would not be surprising to see her succeed in this future endeavor. Emily has been an integral part of a very successful four years for Saline which included four trips to the State Tournament and one State Championship. She has been a leader both on and off the course and leaves a great legacy for the Hornets! She has recently signed her letter of intent with the University of Michigan and will become a member of the Wolverine Golf Team. 16 2013 Boys All State Team Division 1 10 Matt Alderink Battle Creek Lakeview 9-Hole Match Average (37.8) -

The Lady Spartans have captured six consecutive conference championships, five regional championships, three Division II State runner-up finishes, and placed 8th, 4th, 13th on their other three appearances. The Spartans have captured 48 tournament championships of the 54 played. The boys have proven to be just as successful as the Ladies. The boys have also captured five consecutive conference championships, appeared in the MHSAA State Finals five out of the last six seasons. They have captured five straight District titles and two Regional titles over the past six seasons. The Spartans captured the State Title in 2008 and 2013, while finishing as runners-up in 2012. The Spartans placed 6th in 2010 and 7th in 2011. The boys also won 56 regular season tournament championships out of the 66 events played. The Spartans have had individual success to go along with the team effort. The Ladies have had seven First Team AllState recognition honors along with three players making the MIGCA Super Team. The boys have also seen individual success earning thirteen first team All-State honors and seven Super Team nominations. Two Lakeview golfers have won three individual State Titles, while one of those golfers was named “Mr. Golf” in 2008. Four Lady Spartans have continued their golfing career at the next level, while six boys have or are playing at the college level. 55 MIGCA STATE COACHES OF THE YEAR 2013 BOYS COACH OF THE YEAR Tony Evans Battle Creek Lakeview The 2013 season was truly a championship year for the Lakeview Spartan golf team. The team won six regular season tournaments. First place finishes came in following Invitationals; Gull Lake, Forest Hills Central, Battle Creek All-City, Lakeview Invitational, Lumen Christi, and the Ann Arbor Pioneer Invitational. The 2013 team also captured the SMAC Conference title for the 5th straight season along with their 5th straight District title as well the Regional championship. This year’s team shattered the 18 hole school record when they fired a 2 over par 290 at the Lakeview Invitational. The team also set a new team season scoring average this year with an impressive 298 average, breaking the old school mark set back in 2011 at 304. The team saved their best for last as they captured the Division I State Championship at Forest Akers East with rounds of 299 & 302. This team knows the value of every stroke. In 2012 the Spartans lost the state title by a single stroke and this year they found themselves tied after 36 holes of play at the MHSAA State Finals. The Spartans captured the State title on the fifth person tie breaker, proving that not only every stroke, but every player counts. 2013 GIRLS STATE COACH OF THE YEAR Mary Shafer Lansing Catholic 2013 is Mary Schafer's 6th year of coaching at Lansing Catholic. After winning three straight Division IV State Championships, 2013 turned out to be a fun and exciting year. This years' team consisted of six freshmen, seven sophomores, two juniors and two seniors. It was definitely a year of learning and gaining experience for all of the golfers. This team played many tough invitationals with the best golfers in the State of Michigan from all divisions. In the CAAC White League tournament, they came in 2nd to a fine Lakewood team. At the Flint Powers Invitational, they came in 3rd out of 13 teams. At The Lumen Christi Invitational, they tied for 2nd out of 16 teams. At Regionals at Bay City Country Club, they placed 2nd out of 16 teams. At the State Finals, they placed 4th out of 15 teams with Jacqueline Setas taking first as an individual. 56 2013 BOYS MIGCA DIVISION COACHES OF THE YEAR As selected by the Michigan Interscholastic Golf Coaches Association Division I Mike Schultz Traverse City West 2013 was another successful season for 3rd year head coach Mike Schultz and his Traverse City West's boy’s golf program. This season saw the Titans successfully defend their 2012 Regional Championship at Boulder Pointe in Lake Orion and their 3rd trip to the Division I State Finals in four seasons. The Titans won eight of their 15 regular season events, as well as completing their Big North Conference's season undefeated for the 1st time in school history. This year’s team destroyed their old school scoring record of 291, by shooting 286 (par 71) at the TC West Invitational. At Districts they finished 2nd moving them on the Regionals where they put together rounds of golf that took them to the MHSAA State Finals. They began with a slow start on day 1 of the State Finals, but the Titans bounced back with the lowest team score of the weekend with 298 at Forest Acres West to vault into a 5th place overall finish. Coach Schultz would like to thank his players for their continued dedication and hard work throughout the year, their parents for their support of Titan golf and Mistwood Golf Course for being such gracious and generous hosts to the Titan boys golf team this season. Division II Ken Bokhoven Grand Rapids Christian Ken has had the privilege of coaching at Grand Rapids Christian High School for the past 51 years, 30 of those years as the varsity boy’s golf coach. During most of my tenure GRCHS was a member of the Grand Rapids City League. The Eagle golfers were always competitive in the City League resulting in numerous conference championships. However, it was not until 2009 when G.R. Christian joined the OK White Conference that our talent level enabled the Eagles to compete at the State level with more regularity. In 2009 the Eagles finished 4th in the State tournament. The following year the team finished 3rd in the State. In 2011 the Eagles did not make it to the State tournament, but in 2012 finished 8th in the State with a very young team. With four starters returning from the previous year the 2013 Eagles captured the first State Championship in golf in the history of the school. Throughout my years of coaching I have had the opportunity to coach many outstanding athletes, but it is the quality of character of these athletes that has made my coaching career so enjoyable. I have been blessed and I am looking forward to 2014. 57 Division III JT Cleveland Alma After barely missing the State Finals the previous season, the Alma Panthers Golf Team came into 2013 with high expectations. With this in mind, we scheduled the toughest competition we could find. The boys responded to every challenge. They won four tournaments and finished in the top five in each of the rest. They also won the Tri-Valley Conference for the 3rd time in the past four years. After finishing 2nd at Districts and Regionals, the boys posted their best two team scores of the year at the State Finals in Bedford Valley to finish 3rd overall. This success came from an incredible work ethic. After every practice, they would continue to work on their putting and short game. Even after tournaments when we returned in the van, the boys would always go out and play another round competing with and against each other in their legendary best ball matches. We have used a simple motto the past five years: “Trust your swing, Believe in yourself, and Play Determined”. Or as the boys would simply say, “TBD”! I would like to thank my fellow MIGCA Coaches for this incredible honor. Furthermore, I want to thank Ernie Silverthorn for giving me a start in coaching golf and being the best mentor ever. I would like to thank my players for their dedication, their parents for their amazing support of Alma Golf, Pine River Country Club for being a great host, and my wife for always believing in the Panthers. Division IV Steve Rider Kalamazoo Hackett Catholic Central After finishing “runner up” in the 2012 State Finals, Hackett returned its top four players, three of whom are seniors this year. This season marked the 3rd State Championship for Hackett Catholic Central in the past five years. The team finished in first place in the Greater Kalamazoo Invitational, the Kalamazoo Country Club invitational, Districts, Regionals and State Finals. Hackett also captured its 8th consecutive Kalamazoo Valley Association conference title going undefeated in 2013. In the past five years, the team has only lost two conference matches. In one KVA match this season at the Moors Golf Club in Portage, the team shot a school record 136 (8 under par). The team has also captured four regional titles in the past five years to go along with the three State titles. Hackett had three first team All-State players in 2013. Ted Rider won back to back Division IV medalist honors in the State Finals. While playing at the Division IV level, the team participated in many invitationals with the top teams in Divisions I, II, and III, often finishing in the top five. While I appreciate the Division IV “coach of the year” recognition from my peers, I consider this award a team award. The commitment, dedication, and hard work of the Hackett players is why the Hackett men’s golf program is where it is today. The boys competed against some of the best competition in the state and were competitive, despite the size of our school. All the credit goes to those players and their outstanding success on the course. The program has had great support from the school and from parents and I am very appreciative of that support and the resulting success. 58 2013 MIGCA GIRLS DIVISION COACHES OF THE YEAR As selected by the Michigan Interscholastic Golf Coaches Association Division I John Getzan Troy John has coached golf at Troy for 27 years the last 13 as the Head Varsity Boys Coach and the last seven as the Head Varsity Girls Coach. In 2009 John was selected as the Oakland County Girls Coach of the Year and in 2011 he was named the Division 1 Regional Coach of the Year. During the past 7 years the Troy Girls Golf Team has finished first in each of the Oakland Activities Association Red, White and Blue Divisions. During the 2013 season Troy played in nine tournaments where they had 3 first place finishes, 2 seconds, 3 thirds and 1 fourth. The team recorded a school record 311 at the Farmington Invitational with a fifth score of 82 which was not used in the total score. Competing in the difficult OAA Red Division, Troy compiled 5 and 1 dual record finishing second behind Division 2 State Champions - Birmingham Seaholm. For the last half of the season Troy was ranked #1 in Division 1 for the first time in school history. Their first place finish at the Division 1 Regional returned Troy to the State Finals where they have participated in four of the last five years. They have improved each season with a 12th place finish in 2009, 6th in 2010, 5th in 2011 and 3rd in 2013.This year’s team was selected to the Academic All-State Team. One player was selected for the Academic All-State Team and one player was selected for Honorable Mention. In addition, two sophomores were named to the All State Honorable Mention Team. Coach Getzan has been blessed with players who excel in the classroom as well as on the golf course. His players’ hard work in the off season and their dedication to the sport make this award possible. John would also like to thank all our parents whose support is greatly appreciated. Finally, John gives special thanks to Cindy, his wife of 30 years, who has been his most valuable team member throughout his coaching career. 59 Division II Leon Braisted III Birmingham Seaholm. In his 16th year as the Head Girls Golf coach Birmingham Seaholm, the Maples had another stellar year. With 35 girls in its program, Coach Braisted is truly blessed to have support from Administrators at all level (Birmingham Public Schools), Community, Golf & Country Clubs and most of all Parents within and outside of the program. In receiving this award, we must mention my Co-Coach Cathie Fritz and JV coaches – 2 teams – Doug Baltz and Dan Bumpus. Without them, this award would not possible. Birmingham Seaholm won the Prestigious OAA Red Division with a 6-0 dual, finished 2nd at League Meet #1, but won League meet #2, to be crown League Champions for the 2nd straight year! Seaholm won several tournaments this year winning the Highland Shootout, Next Tee and Suntel Services Girls Golf tournaments. The Maples captured their 11th regional in 12 years, and qualified for states for the 14th time in 16 year as coach at Seaholm. To complete their mission, Birmingham Seaholm won their 3 rd State Championship in 2013, to go along with 4 state runner-ups. I truly feel that a coach is only as good as his players make him. Once again, I would like to Thank my players, coaches, Parents and my family for their continued support! I have TRULY been Bless!! I would like to Thank the MIGCA for their ongoing support to High School Golf. Division III Peggy Steffan Detroit Country Day This was the most successful year in the history of Detroit Country Day Girls’ Golf Program. The team began the season by winning their first two tournaments at Hudson Mills and Huron Meadows. Country Day won four tournaments this year and finished in 2nd place in three other tournaments. A new school record low score of 323 was obtained at the Farmington Invitational. The most exciting victories came at the Regional and State levels. The Lady Yellow Jackets won the Regional tournament by one stroke and went on to be victorious at the State level in a tie-breaker. After qualifying for the state tournament for the past seven years, this is the first State Championship for the Country Day Girls. 60 Division IV Jim Bennett Grosse Ile Our school, Grosse Ile, has bounced between Division 3 and Division 4 since the girls’ season moved to the fall. There are some great coaches in both divisions so it is a great honor to be selected as the Division 4 Coach of the Year, for 2013.We have been fortunate enough to make it to the State Finals for six of the last 7 years, winning the State Finals three times. The only year that we did not make it to the Finals we ended up fourth on the regional, just 5 strokes out of First Place. This year was a very special year, for me. At the beginning of the season we were scoring in the 380’s and each week we lowered our team score as we gained more tournament experience. By the middle of September we were in the 350’s and finished in second place at the East Lansing Invitational, only one stroke out of first place. Our last three tournaments, before the Regional tournament, we averaged 334 and we were playing with confidence. We didn’t have a player that could post a low score, but we did have 5 golfers that could shoot 80, on a good day and averaged between 85 and 91 during the season. We had to rely on our depth to overcome the teams that had a golfer going low at each tournament. When we reached the State Finals, we had to rely on our depth, again. Each of the top teams had an excellent #1 player and we had to overcome the low scores they would post by using our depth. Our fifth player shot our best round on day 2 of the Finals and we were lucky enough to win by two strokes. I have been fortunate, as a coach, to have the support of our School Administrators, the Township’s recreation department, and three golf courses. The school lets me make a tough schedule with a great deal of travel, the recreation department lets us used the township driving range and ninehole course, and the two Country Clubs provide us with tee times when they are not busy. I also have the support of the girls. They trust my guidance and drills will make them better scorers and they never ask how long the practice will be!! 2013 Boys District Coaches of the Year Division I Dave Hutton Dan Stoltz Wes Hull
