Zeeland West Varsity Golf secured fourth place at the OK Black Conference Tournament with Mike Girman and Logan Bomers receiving All-Conference recognition.
The Zeeland West varsity golf team achieved a successful outcome at The Ravines Golf Club where they finished fourth among multiple teams in the OK Black Conference Tournament.
At the Ravines West’s sophomore, Mike Girman placed seventh with a score of 77. The team's scoring was completed by senior Graham VanDort with an 80 and senior Tyler Baumann with an 84, and senior Logan Bomers who shot a 79.
The OK Black All-Conference Team selected both Girman and Bomers for their outstanding performance throughout the season. The second all-conference honor for Girman, while Bomers achieved his fourth All-Conference selection of his high school career, which demonstrates his enduring leadership abilities.
Bomers expressed his satisfaction with the challenging experience at The Ravines during his last conference tournament. “The course presented our team with a difficult test of our concentration and our short game abilities. We fought hard throughout the competition. Getting All-Conference was a great way to end my senior year. The experience has been great, and I am grateful to have shared it with such an outstanding team.”

The Zeeland West Varsity Golf team put together a strong performance on Monday at the OK Black Holland Jamboree, held at Clearbrook Golf Club. The Dux finished in 4th place, only three strokes behind the first-place team in a very close competition.
Soph. Mike Girman led the way for Zeeland West with a score of 39. “My swing wasn’t feeling great, but scrapping it around and making some good putts helped a lot,” Girman said after the round.
Right behind him, senior Logan Bomers shot a 40. Senior Tyler Baumann added a 41, and Senior Graham VanDort finished with a 42 to round out the team’s scoring.
Despite narrowly missing out on a top-three finish, the Dux showed they can compete with the best. And they’ll be looking to keep the momentum going in the next match. The team’s coach was unavailable for comment.
