The Eastlake Titans Boys Golf Team ended the 2015 spring golf season in very strong fashion, going undefeated in league play en route to capturing its fourth consecutive Mesa League Boys Golf Title and finishing atop the entire Metro Conference. With most of the players having to balance out their hectic schedules - especially for some of the sophomores and juniors on the team (there are no seniors on this year's squad) who had to find a way to balance their A.P./Honors course loads, volunteer commitments along with the demands bestowed upon a high school golfer - this season marked a remarkable display of a complete team effort led by competent coaching, sheer determination and hard work by the entire team to achieve the successful end result.

The entire team had a great time competing as well as "bonding whether walking the links during practice rounds with teammates or making new friends from other schools during the heat of the
battle. The boys are already looking forward to next year. And, because the team carried no seniors this year, next year's team looks to be a force to be reckoned with," stated Coach
Barrett. Finally, with some of the strong skills demonstrated by the stable of solid freshman golfers - Jumpei Hanaoka, Cal Johnson, Sam Lee and Desi Rodelas - it certainly appears that
Eastlake Golf will continue to thrive in the years to come.
