The Jonathan Law golf team is eager to kick off the season after placing third in the State Tournament and winning the Mayor’s Cup last year. 

The team consists of many returning players as well as a few new players. 

“We are really excited for the start of the 2025 golf season,” Coach Mr. Maurutis said. “We had a record- breaking season last year coming in third place in the State Tournament and we look to continue the program’s success this year.” 

Senior Captain Pete Savoie, who will be playing in the Number 1 slot this season, is looking forward to his last season on the team. 

“I am looking forward to my team’s competitiveness and ability to compete at a high level this season,” Savoie said. 

Many players have personal goals in mind as they aim to fill the roles left by the recently graduated seniors. They are also eager to get on the course to contribute to the team’s success this season.

“I am most looking forward to being able to help and contribute to the team, especially in replacement of the seniors that graduated because they are big roles to fill,” junior Cooper Pietrowski said. 

The team has set collective goals to work towards throughout the season to obtain the success they are looking for. 

“My goal as a coach is the same each year – to develop my player’s golf skills, leadership, and sportsmanship while competing to win our matches, win the Mayor’s Cup, and play well in the State Tournament,” Maurutis said. 

Savoie set an individual goal as well as a goal for the team for the upcoming season . 

“A goal I have for the team is to place in the top 10 in the state tournament and myself to finish in the top 10 individually,” Savoie said. 

The team won the Mayor’s Cup last season against Foran and is looking for the back-to-back as the season kicks off.

“Another team goal we have is we want to win the Mayor’s cup against Foran,” senior Harry Fisher said. “ We won it last year, so we want to try and go back-to-back.”

Team members have established both personal and team goals to accomplish this season.

“My goal is more of a team goal and it’s to get back to states,” senior Jack Distassio said. “I want to improve my game as much as I can through every practice and match.”

Many players are looking forward to getting back on the course as a team this season. 

“I’m looking forward to playing some golf with my teammates,” Fisher said. “I am really excited to get back out there again, hoping for some nice weather and playing some fun matches.”

Freshman Dylan Gaillard is looking forward to being a part of the Law golf team this season. 

“I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of new people who play,” Gaillard said. “Also, I’m looking forward to the Mayor’s Cup.”
