As we enter the spring season, the Belmont Hill golf team is back! This year, the squad will consist of eight returning members and newcomer Joey Monahan from Form II. Captained by CJ Winchenbaugh ‘24 and Aidan Monahan ‘24, the golfers are hoping to maintain momentum from the previous season heading into the spring.
The team has dominated the ISL in recent years under the leadership of Mr. Doar, winning both the ISL league championship and the ISL Kingsman Championship tournament in both 2022 and 2023. The 2023 season was especially remarkable, as the golf team had a stellar record of eighteen wins, zero losses, and one tie despite having five newcomers to the squad that year.
New to this season will be the golf team’s participation in the Independent International Invitational at Crumpin-Fox club, where the team will get to play against both ISL and non-ISL independent schools. Additionally, the new golf simulator in the alumni house will allow the team to practice without having to travel to nearby courses.
When asked about his goals for this season, Coach Doar replied: “I don’t want to put too much emphasis on the outcome, since I think that’s unhealthy. We didn’t do a lot of that last year, and we did win [the ISL]. So, I think we know that we’re one of the stronger teams, so if we work hard and are smart about our decisions on and off the course, I think we’ll have a good chance [to win the ISL].”
The Panel wishes Mr. Doar and the Varsity golf team the best of luck as they enter the spring season.
