BIG RAPIDS – A rough two days at Katke Golf Course in Big Rapids placed Pentwater senior Nathan Macher in 86th out of 98 golfers at the D4 state finals Friday, June 6 and Saturday, June 7.
Macher started his weekend on the front nine, teeing off of hole No. 2 on Friday. From the start, the Pentwater senior couldn’t get his usual game going, recording a bogey and two double bogies on his first three holes.
A pair of pars on the front nine helped Macher try to battle back, but he only managed one other par through the remaining nine holes, leaving his first day total at 92 (+20) after 18 holes.
Saturday started off with a much better performance as Macher sunk a par on his first hole. A string of three bogies and two double bogies knocked him right back off that early promise, propelling him to a second day total of 95 (+23).
Macher recorded five pars in total on Saturday, complete with seven bogies and six double bogies. With a final stroke count of 187, Macher finished 23 over par to end his high school career.
