Being able to overcome a bad shot and not turning that into a bad round is one of things Concordia’s Luke Donovan is focusing on improving in 2025.
“One area I want myself to improve on this year is my metal side,” Donovan said. “I want to be able to play through my emotions and be able to play smarter and be more focused. I think a way I worked on this area was just playing more and thinking more about what to do on the shot before I hit it.”
Donovan dedicated himself to his game over throughout the offseason in hopes that he can be better than his tied for 16th place at the state tournament last season.
“To prepare for the golf season throughout the offseason I worked really hard on the course and in the gym to make myself better,” Donovan said. “I tried to go practice on my game whenever I could to work on my game to improve. I am excited to see how much I can improve throughout the season and how low I can shoot.”
Last season, Donovan had a scoring average of 82 and placed in six tournaments, including the aforementioned 16th place finish at state. The scoring average is another area where Donovan wants to improve.
“Some individual goals I have is to lower my average throughout the season and try to medal in all of my tournaments,” Donovan said. “I want to make it to state and medal again this year and place better than last year.”
