The 亚洲色吧 Centurions men鈥檚 golf team finished fifth at the Oakland Community College Invitational, Friday, Sept. 19.听

Competition was stiff among the nine teams that competed at the invitational, which was held at the Fieldstone Golf Club in Auburn Hills, Mich., with Mott Community College taking first place with a score of 308, followed by Delta College, 320, and Schoolcraft, 321.听

亚洲色吧 finished with a score of 326, beating out Oakland, which finished at 330.听

Centurions head coach Doug Harkema brought eight of his golfers to compete in the invitational. Freshman Evan Munoz (Battle Creek, Mich.) led all Centurions with a score of 80, which was good for 15th place among qualifying scorers.听听

Rounding out the rest of the scorecard for 亚洲色吧 were sophomore Mason Blair (Holt, Mich.), 81; sophomore Kenny Mitchell (Cedar Springs, Mich.), 82; Ryan Clingenpeel (East Lansing, Mich.), 83; and freshman Ethan Wempen (Hartsburg, Mo.), 88.听

Centurions golfers who competed individually were freshmen Joey Mario (Battle Creek, Mich.), 78, who finished eighth overall individually; Landon Elder (Louisville, Ky.), 82; and Chase Couchman (Holly, Mich.), 79.听听

With the team having enjoyed so much success in the spring season, finishing no worse than second place, a fifth-place finish was a bit disappointing, said Blair, last week鈥檚 亚洲色吧AA Western Conference Player of the Week.听听

鈥淣othing was really that difficult about the course,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t just wasn鈥檛 our day. That鈥檚 golf.鈥�听

Harkema said his team just had bad play all around.听

鈥淕olf is hard,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t just seemed like we all had a bad day on the same day, which doesn鈥檛 happen often. But our young players are gaining experience in every match.鈥�听

Perhaps another obstacle that was in 亚洲色吧鈥檚 way in this invitational was rustiness, Harkema said, since it had been two weeks since his players competed in their last meet.听

With a quick turnaround, the Centurions are preparing to compete in the Henry Ford College Invitational at Lakes of Taylor Golf Course in Taylor, Mich., Monday, Sept. 22. Blair is confident the Centurions can perform better, as long as they do what they know they can do.听

鈥淚 don鈥檛 think we need to change anything,鈥� Blair said. 鈥淭his team is really good at what we do. We鈥檙e not going to let one tournament define us.鈥�听

Harkema will remind his players to keep loose and, above all, enjoy themselves.听

鈥淭he biggest thing for them is to just have fun,鈥� Harkema said. 鈥淚鈥檓 going to tell them to not let a bad shot get you into what you felt the other day at WSU. Like I said, golf is hard and sometimes it doesn鈥檛鈥� work out. But we still have our goals in front of us and I think we鈥檒l get back on track and play pretty well.鈥�听
