Outlook
The Dutch will be in contention not only for another Iowa Conference title but also for one of their highest finishes at
the national level.
With all five starters returning from last year’s squad, coach Charlie Estabrook feels good about his team’s chances
both in the league and at the national level.
“We saw some good things out of those five last year,” said Estabrook. “Although at times we weren’t as consistent
as I would have liked, we just have a great group of guys this year and I see big things coming for them.”
The Dutch won its 25th Iowa Conference championship and finished 11th at the NCAA Div. III national tournament. A
powerhouse in the conference for the past two decades, Central has won 25 of the last 28 league championships. The
Dutch are also looking for their 10th top-10 national team finish this season. Estabrook, in his seventh season, thinks this
team has the potential to have the school’s best showing at the national meet. The Dutch placed fifth in 1985, but
Estabrook has high hopes for this crew.
“I think we’ll be able to finish in the top-10,” Estabrook said. “We’re really even capable of hanging with the top five in
the nation if we play up to our potential. If we learn to play more consistently, we’ll be right there.”
Central ended the fall season with a strong sixth place finish at the Wilscon/Gordin Collegiate Div. III Classic, a
tournament that features the top finishers in last season’s NCAA tourney. Central enters the spring season rated 11th in
Div. III.
Central’s top five returning players from last year’s conference and national lineup are comprised of seniors Kyle
Matzen, Patrick McElyea and Alex Schenfeld, and juniors Nick Grossman and Jake Pearson. Matzen and Grossman were
members of the all-conference team last season and Pearson was named to the PING GCAA all-Central region team.
McElyea earned a spot on the Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar squad.
“Alex had our top scoring average this fall,” Estabrook said. “He worked hard through the summer and stayed focus
last year after not making varsity as a sophomore. It just shows what hard work and dedication can do for you.”
Estabrook mentioned seniors Matzen and McElyea bring a special aspect to the team. Matzen is full of energy and a
lot of fun to be around while McElyea brings a positive perspective to the unit.
“This is just a great group of guys and there’s a lot of success headed their way,” he said.
Those top five will be pushed by junior Jeff Osby.
“I look for Jeff to step up and make my job difficult,” said Estabrook. “Even though we have a solid group returning,
we also have a lot of depth and there’s a lot of talent on our team this year. A lot. We’ve got some guys working their tails
off.”
Estabrook said senior Blake Jones is a hard worker for him and also Pearson is working harder than ever.
“Jake could make some noise this year at the national level,” he said. “He didn’t have a great fall, but I think that has
motivated him to work that much harder so that he will have a good spring.”
Along with these key players, Estabrook is also excited about six others—all freshmen. Estabrook said the future of
the Dutch team is bright with the six who stood out early this fall. Alvaro De Cosio (Pueblo, Mexico), Corey Grace
(Cambridge, Minn.), Brett Meyer (Mendota, Ill.), Jeff Millet (Newton), Cole Reiman (Carroll) and Isaac Rodenberg
(Elkader) make up the strong group of freshmen.
“They really stood out this fall and played very well coming into a squad that has seasoned veterans,” said Estabrook.
“Meyer played at a consistent level throughout the fall. I think this is going to be a great group of young players to watch
later on.”
The Iowa Conference will again push the Dutch and Eastabrook sees this year’s league as a challenge again but feels
that Central should be able to handle league competition.
“Loras has some great kids, but they’ll need some help from their four and five guys,” Estabrook said.
Estabrook also noted that if Wartburg plays like they are capable, they could be tough.
“Wartburg will be able to make some noise this year in the conference,” said Estabrook. “I also think that Coe has
some pretty good individuals and are capable to compete for the conference title.”
Estabrook also said that Simpson is probably one of the most feared opponents with the league’s MVP returning.
“They have one of the top guys in the conference and also have a couple of other good players,” he said. “And,
they’ve got a coach who is working hard to improve the program and I see them as a threat.”
