Senior Pete Savoie, the captain of the 2025 Jonathan Law golf team, led the Lawmen to a successful spring season.

“I believe the Law golf team performed well, finishing above .500 and remaining competitive within our division,” Savoie said. “Although we didn’t qualify for the State Tournament, we fought hard throughout the season and did not give up.”

Savoie has been a key player for the Law golf team for the past four years.

“Pete has been a four-year starter for the Law golf team,” Head Coach Mr. Maurutis said. “Since his freshman year, he immediately made a positive impact, and it was evident from day one that his passion and drive to become a great golfer.

Savoie put a lot of time and effort into preparing for the 2025 season.

“Almost every day leading up to the season, I was either at the range or on the course,” Savoie said. “Additionally, every Sunday, I met with my swing coach, Jerry Courville, to work on my game.”

Savoie is a very talented golfer, but that isn’t his best trait.

“Pete’s a captain because he is always supporting his teammates and helping them get to the next level,” senior Charlie Becker said. “Pete has helped me a lot throughout the season during big matches this season.”

Savoie helps the team by knowing his role on the team.

“Pete helps the team by giving a bunch of advice to new and even returning players,” senior Jack Distassio said. “He is always racking up the best scores every match to help us win.”

Savoie has impacted the team by welcoming new players of all different ages, proving why he was chosen to be a captain.

“Pete showed immediate love straight away when I made the team,” senior Connor Malin said. “He welcomed me and made me feel good about myself and everyone else on the team. He wouldn’t only help and support me, but also the underclassmen, and it definitely made them feel better about themselves because it did for me.”

Savoie shot 78 in the State Tournament his junior year, and this year, he broke the away match record, shooting par 36 at Alling Memorial Golf Club.

“It was such a pleasure to coach a kid like Pete and we will miss him for sure,” Maurutis said. “He will be on to great things as he plays college golf at Springfield College next year.”
