Golfer’s life great for Keaton Inglis, son of OGC club pro By Andy Roberts Herald-Journal Writer
SHELBY — Perhaps it was inevitable that Keaton Inglis was going to be a high school golf star. After all, his dad, Marc Inglis, has been a PGA member since 1989 and has been club pro at Oceana Golf Club for over 20 years. Plus, he and older sister McKenna were in a junior golf program “since they could walk,” Marc said. However, Keaton’s interest in the game came about naturally from there after spending time with his dad at work during the summer. “I didn’t push my kids into anything they didn’t want to do,” Marc said. “I was able to bring both my kids to work when I needed to in the summer and before they went to school. They’d walk a few holes, have a Coke and a Snickers, then walk a few more holes. I could tell then that Keaton had a decent swing.” Keaton’s love for the game only blossomed when he was able to accompany his dad to some PGA events as a young man. The Inglis men have been to two Ryder Cups together as well as the 2008 PGA Championship, all at Oakland Hills Country Club outside Detroit. (They have since attended the Senior PGA Championship, this year in Benton Harbor.) Keaton was fortunate enough to meet well-known golfers like Jim Furyk, Bob Tway and Billy Mayfair during those visits. His visits to the Oceana club
got more frequent as he grew older, sharpening his skills on the course. “I’d come out here after school and in the summer and just play because it was fun,” Keaton said. “I’d come out in the morning and play all day. Now I play because I get more competitive, and I’m practicing certain parts of my game every day, whether in the morning or in the afternoon, playing and having fun.” Meanwhile, that “decent swing” Keaton possessed as a youngster has evolved into one of the better ones in the state. Keaton earned medalist honors in the West Michigan Conference this past spring — his favorite accomplishment so far — helped the Tigers to a team championship, and played in his first Division 3 state finals. There, he tied for 21st as an individual qualifier. He shot a 77 each day of the finals, but it’s a mark of his skill, and confidence, that he felt he could have done better. “I didn’t play that great,” Keaton said. “But it was still fun, with a lot of competitiveness. There were a lot of good kids there. It was nice to play against the best in the state all at one time.” Last summer, Keaton recorded another major milestone, winning the Oceana Golf Club championship by defeating longtime member Doug Raeth, 50 years his senior, in the finals. He was the youngest player, at 16, to ever hold the club championship.

The win was symbolic for Keaton, who has befriended many of the club’s mainstay members over the years through his many rounds. He has benefited from building those relationships with older players, both as a golfer and personally. “There’s a lot of respect for the other guys,” Keaton said. “They’ve been here for years and years, and I’m just a kid who comes here and plays. I’m thankful that they allow me to
Oceana GC, Grand View GC crown club champs Longtime Oceana Golf Club member Corey Parmalee reclaimed the club championship this weekend, edging last year’s champion, Keaton Inglis, in a match-play final. Parmalee won the club title in both 2010 and 2011 and was back on top this year after taking the lead for good on the 15th hole of the final against Inglis, who became the club’s youngest champion ever last year. Inglis had defeated Parmalee in last season’s semifinal in a match that had to go to a 19th hole to determine a winner. Both players performed very well and were under par for their rounds in the final. “Winning is always fun, but Keaton has nothing to be upset about as he played very well the entire round, just missing a few key putts that would have resulted in a different outcome for sure,” Parmalee told club pro Marc Inglis after the final. Parmalee put in six birdies
during the final round, while Inglis managed three birdies and an eagle. The final was close most of the way, including tied after 12 holes and again after 14 when the two finalists traded birdies on the 13th and 14th. Parmalee’s 15th-hole birdie put him on top. “Corey is a fine representation of the club and I am proud of both players,” club pro Marc Inglis said. “We definitely had the correct two players in the finals.” Gary Babinec defeated Rex Lambert, 1 up, to win the club senior championship, while Don McCallum picked up the win in the handicap division by beating Doug Raeth, 3 and 2. Grand View champions
Grand View Golf Course also held its championships this month, with Gary Bohn picking up a pair of titles. Bohn won both the senior division and the handicap divi-

practice and play here. (Doug Raeth) has been a member for decades, and it was an honor to play against him. He’s that age, and he still hits it so well and plays so well, and he loves it. I hope I still love the game that much when I’m that age.” The goal for Inglis is certainly to love the game at least five more years. He wants to play collegiately and has been in contact with several member schools of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (GLIAC), which competes at the NCAA Division II level. He wants to study finance, possesses a 3.6 grade point average, and according to Marc, he’s already outpaced his dad with his knowledge of the markets. “It’s way over my head. He tried to explain it to me and I just said to stop,” Marc said, laughing. “He’ll be successful in whatever he does.” At home, father and son discuss a lot of golf — Marc joked that he wants to teach his son more about golf history, that the game is “not just Tiger Woods”. In fact, Keaton said, sometimes he will get swing tips from Marc, even without a club to practice with. “I’ll come to him whenever I need something, and he’s always there,” Keaton said. “I’m really appreciative of that. A lot
of kids have to go to a swing coach or something like that, and I have my dad, and that’s the best resource I’ve ever had. He’s busy a lot, but when I need help, he always finds time.” It’s anybody’s guess where Keaton Inglis’ love affair with golf will go from here, but it’s a fair bet that it will include another appearance in next year’s state finals. Whatever happens, the bond forged by golf between father and son isn’t going anywhere. “He’s mature for his age, and a lot of that comes from being out in the golf world,” Marc said. “There aren’t a lot of kids in this area that he plays golf with on a regular basis. He always plays with adults. He’s learned to respect other people on and off the course. He’s a good young man. I’m proud of him for that.”
