Wantagh’s Golf team, coached by Mr. Colavita, led by Senior captain Kyle Conklin, finished the season with a record of 5-7. A few standout players this season were Kyle Conklin, Brendan Yager, JM Divilla, Matt Silverman and Darrin Santucci.

I spoke with Senior captain Kyle Conklin on his thoughts on team chemistry. He responded “Team chemistry was extremely good all season. We bonded and were very close compared to previous years. We enjoyed practices and matches together and it was a fun experience”.

Seniors Kyle Conklin and Brendan Yager were both chosen to participate in the All County Tournament in the spring. This is an amazing accomplishment for them and the team. It’s not every year Wantagh has all County golfers and having two in one year is unheard of. 

Although there were many Seniors on this team, there are many underclassmen on the team making the future very bright for them.

The golf team at Wantagh is on the rise and has been improving more and more every year. It’s very exciting to watch this program grow.
