Golf Season Tees Off in the Heart of Indiana

As spring blooms across Indiana, the excitement of high school boys golf is back! With the much-anticipated state meet set for June 17-18 at the beautiful Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel, golf enthusiasts are buzzing about the athletes to keep an eye on this season.

Noteworthy Players to Watch for 2025

As the season kicks off, several standout players are bound to make a splash. Let’s take a closer look at some of these talents who are sure to compete for glory!

Meet Baker

A Purdue Fort Wayne recruit, Baker made waves last season by tying for 18th at the state meet as a freshman and helping his team reach state in his sophomore year with an impressive ninth-place finish. He recently claimed the sectional title with a remarkable 2-under-par 70 at Chestnut Hills Golf Club.

Beckort on the Rise

Then we have Beckort, who etched his name in the school record books last May with a stunning 6-under-par 64 at Westwood Golf Course. Not only did he snag the sectional title at Covered Bridge with a 6-under-par 66, but he also tied for third at regionals and finished tied for 13th at the state meet. This Notre Dame recruit is aiming high for his senior year!

Blackard Steps Up

As a committed Indiana player, Blackard had a solid year too, tying for 39th at state last season and finishing tied for second at regionals with a 2-under-par 70 at Country Oaks. His consistent performance makes him an essential part of a team currently ranked number one in the preseason.

Cesare, All-State Performer

With three all-state honors already under his belt, Cesare tied for second at the state meet last year with a 1-under-par 143. His previous finishes include ties for 10th as a freshman and seventh as a sophomore, proving he’s got what it takes!

Returning Contender Haarer

After a break from high school golf, Haarer is back and ready to shine. He tied for second at state with a brilliant 6-under-par 66 in the sophomore round and now is a Liberty commit looking to reclaim his spot among the top contenders.

Harvey’s Dual Talents

Don’t forget about Harvey, a budding star who balances being a starting guard on Westfield’s basketball team. Last year he completed the state meet with a tied 15th place finish, scoring 7-over-par 151 and contributing significantly to his team’s impressive second-place finish. The Purdue commit’s dual-sport talent is a sight to behold!

Emerging Talents Hoagland & Holder

Hoagland, who competed well last year tying for 24th at state with a 10-over-par 154, has the Carmel team firmly in the mix as they are ranked eighth in the preseason poll. Meanwhile, Holder is back after focusing on travel tournaments and tied for second in the sectional as a freshman with a remarkable 3-under-par 69.

Holubar Leads the Charge

With a Center Grove team that stands strong at third in the preseason, Holubar is someone to watch as he looks to build on his tied-for-18th state finish last season and his sectional playoff victory.

Rising Stars: Johnston, Marucci, and Upchurch

Johnston, tied for 18th at the state meet last year, is a rising star on a Castle team ranked ninth in the state. Marucci, an Indiana Wesleyan recruit, helped Millers secure fourth place at state last season with an 11th place individual finish. Upchurch made headlines with his stellar second day at state, shooting a 2-under-par 70 and tying for eighth overall.

The Season’s Journey

This season is set to be filled with thrilling moments as talented young golfers strive for excellence and the ultimate goal: a state title. Keep your eyes peeled as these players gear up for an action-packed season that’s bound to leave fans on the edge of their seats!
