Reeths-Puffer tied with Byron Center for fourth place Tuesday in
its first O-K Green Conference jamboree of the season, hosted by
Jenison. The Rockets' team score was a 181, 28 shots behind winner Mona
Shores.
Kristian Brown enjoyed an excellent performance,
shooting an even-par 36 to take medalist honors for the jamboree. Brown
chipped in for eagle on the par-5 fourth hole and finished his round
with a birdie on the par-5 ninth hole.
"Kristian Brown played
outstanding tonight," Rockets' coach Matt Pallett said. "It is fun to
see someone enjoying the game of golf as much as he does.”

Johnson contributed a 45 for R-P, and if not for some tough luck
putting on the greens, Pallett said, his score could have been much
better. Jordan Benkert posted a 49 in his first round of the season,
making two birdies along the way, and Ian Vokal notched a 51 to close
out the Rockets' scoring.
“As a team, we left a lot of shots out there tonight," Pallett said. "I do like the fact
that my team really wants to get better, and because of that, we will.”
