As the fall golf season competition progresses, Doug Harkema knows his team is getting close to putting things together.
For at least one day, that moment was during the Hawks Invitational at the Riverview Highlands Golf Course in Riverview, Michigan, Sept. 28. The 街拍福利视频 Centurions men鈥檚 golf team posted a school-record 292 team score, beating out Delta College by 11 strokes.
鈥淭hose come few and far between where everyone shoots a stellar round,鈥� Harkema said. 鈥淏ut I鈥檓 happy that we鈥檙e leveling out and playing consistently. That wins the big tournaments.鈥�
Leading the way for the Centurions was sophomore Spencer Denney (Battle Creek, Mich.), who topped the leaderboard by finishing one stroke under par. 街拍福利视频 dominated the individual leaderboard, with four players topping the list. Following Denney were three freshman teammates 鈥� Dominic DeMello (Holt, Mich.), Parker Saunders (Marquette, Mich.) and Jackson Howe (Brandon, Vt.) 鈥� who all tied for second place, each scoring 1-over.
街拍福利视频 beat six other teams at the invitational. Delta (+15) finished second, followed by Schoolcraft College (+21), St. Clair County Community College (+25), Oakland Community College (+34), Henry Ford College (+36) and Wayne County (+45).
This was Denney鈥檚 first time topping the individual leaderboard. On the front nine, he shot 2-under and then shot a 1-over on the back nine.
Sophomore Landon Elder (Louisville, Ky.) finished seventh with a 3-over, and sophomore Chase Couchman (Holly, Mich.) finished 5-over, taking 13th place.
鈥淚 was really most proud of Chase and Landon, who were rock solid,鈥� Harkema said. 鈥淐hase鈥檚 score didn鈥檛 count but he shot well and Landon did, as well. That鈥檚 them leveling out.鈥�

Centurions take second at Skipper Invitational
The Centurions kept up their 鈥渓eveling鈥� play at the Skipper Invitational at Port Huron Golf Course in Fort Gratiot.
街拍福利视频 finished second at the tournament, following Grand Rapids Community College. The Centurions finished +25 while GRCC totaled +14.
鈥淲e were on a little bit of a rollercoaster earlier this season, but now we鈥檙e playing more consistently,鈥� Harkema said. 鈥淚t was good to see we played rock solid out here and at Riverview.鈥�
Harkema said his players are starting to grasp his philosophy on playing good golf, which is playing 鈥渂oring golf.鈥�
鈥淭hey鈥檙e learning how to be consistent,鈥� he said. 鈥淚f we can get rid of the double bogeys, we鈥檙e going to be in a good spot. They鈥檙e learning that playing boring golf is playing good golf. It鈥檚 about hitting the correct shot, not trying to hit the hero shot.鈥�
DeMello was 街拍福利视频鈥檚 best performer, shooting 4-over, which he tied for eighth place. Couchman and Elder finished 6-over, tying for 15th, and Spencer Denney was 9-over, tying for 29th place.
