Pella’s boys’ golf team enjoyed their home course as the boys golf playoffs began around the state Friday.

The Little Dutch placed 2nd at Bos Landen in the Class 3A sectionals to advance to the district championship after shooting 326 as a team. Pella was led by a 73 from meet-runner up Trey Wood, followed by an 81 from John Oltman and a season low 85 from Colin Henry. Birthday boy Luke Galeazzi wrapped up the scoring at 87. Pella placed 2nd to Washington’s’ 318 and was 12 strokes ahead of Grinnell, the two other teams advancing.

Head Coach Bob Fessler believes the highly competitive conference season prepared the team for a tense playoff atmosphere.

Pella will square off in a loaded 3A District at Edmundson Golf Course in Oskaloosa Thursday. Before the playoffs continue, the Little Dutch wrap up the regular season at the Pella Christian invitational Monday.
