The Sayville varsity boys’ golf team delivered a historic performance this weekend, posting a record-breaking effort in a decisive win.
Perhaps inspired by the Ryder Cup being on Long Island this weekend the Golden Flashes set a new school scoring record with a team total of 176, finishing four under par. The performance not only established a program best but also secured a dominant 9-0 victory over West Islip.
Led by head coach Sean McLaughlin, Sayville’s golfers have been consistent and commanding throughout the 2025 season. With this latest result, the team improved to an unbeaten 6-0-1 overall. Their dominance is reflected in the margins: aside from their lone tie, the Golden Flashes have outscored opponents by a combined 50-4, often leaving little doubt about the outcome.
Saturday’s match showcased both individual excellence and team depth. Ray Woolsey paced the group with a two-under 34 on the front nine at West Sayville Golf Course. His performance set the tone for a balanced effort across the roster, as each golfer contributed to the record-setting total.
The achievement represents more than just another win. Breaking the school scoring record is a milestone for a program with a proud tradition, highlighting the team’s depth of talent and commitment to improvement. For the current roster, it is a benchmark that underscores just how far they have come — and how much higher they may climb.
As the season moves forward, Sayville has its sights set on remaining unbeaten and competing for a league title. With strong leadership, a balanced lineup, and newfound history behind them, the Golden Flashes are positioning themselves as one of the premier golf programs on Long Island this year.
For Coach McLaughlin and his players, the record-breaking performance is both a celebration of the present and motivation for what lies ahead.
