The Law golf season recently came to a successful close with the help of a freshman – Dylan Gaillard.

Gaillard said his first season on the golf team was an enjoyable one.

“It’s been a great experience,” Gaillard said. “It has been a really fun time playing a sport that I enjoy and the players and the coaches being very supportive and helpful. I want the team to qualify for States and for everyone to improve so we are better as a team for the next few years.”

As the season progressed, Gaillard improved as a player, according to Head Coach Mr. Maurutis.

Dylan has made great progress this season,” Maurutis said. “He gained a lot of experience, played some great golf, and understands what it takes to compete at a high level, this exposure as a freshman will help Dylan as he progresses even more over the next few years and I’m excited to see him develop as a player. Dylan has the potential to be a great golfer and leader on this team, he was a great addition to our team playing mostly in the 5 and 6 spot and his etiquette, sportsmanship, and athletic ability is commendable and I look forward to coaching Dylan for the next three seasons.”

Senior Jack Distassio said that Gaillard had an immediate impact on the team.

“Dylan has helped the team a good amount, he brings an attitude needed for the team during our matches and practices,” Distassio said. “He’s improved a good amount since the beginning of the season, he has been more consistent with his drives and irons as the season went by, and has helped the team when needed because of his strong assets.”

Sophomore Tyler Stankevich said he was impressed by how much Gaillard improved throughout the season.

“Dylan has had great rounds during the season and has helped the team score in matches well,” Stankevich said. “He has gotten much better during the season by practicing correctly, even in his own time, which helped him get in the starting lineup.”
