Smithtown West Golfer Ryan Napolitano Records Hole-in-One

Smithtown High School West junior Ryan Napolitano delivered a moment to remember, recording a hole-in-one at Smithtown Landing Golf Club.

Napolitano aced the par-3 seventh hole, an accomplishment golfers at every level dream of. The shot came during team play and was witnessed by teammates, coaches, and competitors alike, making it even more special.

The achievement comes just days after Long Island hosted the prestigious Ryder Cup, and perhaps the excitement from that event provided some added inspiration.

Congratulations to Ryan on etching his name into Smithtown West golf history!

Westhampton’s Owen Jessup Wins Section XI Golf Title

This year’s Section XI Boys Golf Individual Championships offered an exciting two days of competition.

We had an extra playoff between Riverhead’s Colby Baran and Westhampton’s Owen Jessup, where Jessup prevailed and was crowned this year’s champion golfer in Section XI.

There was a three-way tie for the 10th alternate spot between Mount Sinai’s Jaxon Caruso, Southampton’s Ethan Heur, and Easthampton’s Nico Horan-Puglia. Caruso prevailed after a two-hole playoff to determine 10th place alternate for states.  In June, the top nine finishers will go to states at Mark Twain Golf Course in Elmira.
