(Chelsea Update would like to thank Joe Ewald for the information in this story.)
Chelsea High School golfer Ben Otto was named to the Division 2 Golf, All State Team.
In addition, he was recently named Ann Arbor News area Player of the Year.
“Ben had a great season, and his play was very deserving on this honor and recognition,” said coach Joe Ewald.
He finished the season with a 9-hole match scoring average of 36.3, and an 18-hole tournament average of 74.9.
“Scoring averages can be a little deceiving, as we typically encounter some pretty difficult conditions in the early spring,” Ewald said.
Otto’s best round was a 2 under par 70 at regionals.
“His season ranks as one of the best in the last 25 years of Chelsea Golf (as long as records have been kept),” Ewald said.
“I have had a handful of players just slightly off the mark, but only one other to receive this recognition in my 14 years of coaching the team,” the coach said, adding, “Congratulations to Ben and his family.”
