The Jonathan Law golf team is halfway through its spring season with a record of 4-2. Advocate Editor-in-Chief Kayla Markowitz interviewed Senior Captain Cooper Pietrowski about the team.

Kayla Markowitz: What are some of the team’s goals for this season?

Cooper Peitrowski: Our goals are to make the state tournament and compete amongst the other teams as well as winning the Mayor’s Cup against Foran

KM: What has been the biggest challenge for the team, and how do you plan to overcome them?

CP: A huge challenge has been our consistency. Golf is such a hard sport to be consistently good at and I would argue it’s almost impossible to go out there and post great scores every time, however our ups and downs are outside the range of where we want them to be so hopefully we can reign that in to end our season.

KM: How do you lead the team as captain?

CP: I try to be a good  example of etiquette while we are on the course, and off the course, I stay positive about our games, and I stay involved and offer my advice and help to our younger guys. I am a firm believer in lead by example and the team has a lot of potential in the upcoming couple of years so I want them to be well lead etiquette wise.

KM: What is your favorite part about being a part of the team?

CP: My favorite part is being able to practice and enjoy a round of golf everyday after school with my friends.

KM: What has been your biggest area of personal growth as a player, and what has been the biggest area of growth for the team?

CP: My personal biggest area of growth this year has been my short game. I have gotten so much better inside of 100 yards and it shows in my scores by saving me a lot of strokes. As a team, our biggest area of growth has been picking each other up when one of us has a bad round. I’m not proud of it but man enough to admit it, my personal round against Foran I struggled but we all laughed it off and I still was given a lot of support from the team and posted a great score in our next match. We have come together so much as a team since the beginning of the season.
