Pentwater golf finishes 2nd at Grand Traverse Academy jamboree

Pentwater finished two strokes out of the top spot Tuesday at the Grand Traverse Academy jamboree in West Michigan D League play, shooting a score of 187.
GTA edged the Falcons by those two strokes, moving the two teams into a tie in the WMD standings through two league meets.
Pentwater coach Alicia Kolenda praised the layout of the Crown course in Traverse City; this is GTA's first academic year in the WMD, so it was the first time for Pentwater playing there in a conference meet.
Gavin Macher led Pentwater and took second place overall with a score of 44. Bode Powell shot a 46, Aiden Henry had a 48 and Izzabella Kolenda shot a 49.
Coach Kolenda said a series of tough sand traps affected the Falcons late in their round, particularly Izzabella Kolenda, who until that point was vying for a higher placement.
