Despite losing several seniors last year, boys golf looks to continue honing their skills to prepare for the upcoming season.

The boys team returns top competitors such as: seniors A.J. Nolin, Hunter Tessin and P.J. Nieto, junior Dillon Ketchum, sophomore Mike Hickey and a new addition, freshman Grant Jabenis.

“This year we are implementing analytics to diagnose problems and try to create practice plans around those problems to help the boys improve,” head coach Brett Froendt said.

The boys are using BirdieFire Software, an system allowing them to track their practice rounds and be able to see all different statistics. This software helps the team identify and diagnose problems in their games and allows them to work on their weaknesses.

Nolin, a key leader for the team this year, helps his team out by assisting the underclassmen and making sure that everyone is trying to get better one day at a time.

“Our goal this year is to make it to state,” Nolin said. “We haven’t done that in a long time and it would be cool to make it this year.”

Over the next two months the team plans to work each practice to improve on their own personal weaknesses on the golf course.

“We don’t game plan for tournaments, we just work on our weaknesses,” Froendt said. “Day by day we are working and improving to reach our end goal.”

The boys first match is a triangular this Monday, March 28 against Papillion-La Vista Papillion-La Vista South.
