Jonathan Law’s golf team just finished its regular season with a record of 7-9.

The team now prepares for their States match on June 6.

“My favorite part of the season was being out there with our kids,” coach and health teacher Mr. Maurutis said. “We have a great group of kids and it was nice to work with them on improving their game.” 

There were a lot of improvements in all aspects of the team’s performance this year, from driving to chipping and putting.

“I improved on my mentality when something doesn’t go my way and being able to have a positive attitude,” junior Jaden Archuleta said. “I also worked on my iron game and it improved a lot to where I added 15 yards to each club in my bag, making it easier to play.”

There were many memorable matches for the golf team this season, including some wins by just a few strokes.

“This years season for me has gone very well, there has been a lot of improvement from last year, ” sophomore PJ Savoie said. “My best match was against Career Magnet where I shot a 40 which is just five over par.”

Even though the team had a solid regular season and are awaiting their States match, there are still things the players want to improve upon.

“I definitely need to improve on putting and getting better at reading the line to the cup, as well as hitting the ball of the tee,” sophomore PJ Pacelli said. “If I can improve on that my score will be significantly better and I can do more to help out the team.”

The team is excited knowing that all members will return next season and they are looking forward to the postseason as well.

“As we come to the end of our season, I will say that our team improved every day and has come a long way from the beginning of tryouts,”  junior Patrick Paules-Harrold said. “I am looking forwarded to seeing how our hard work will pay of in States.”
