The Coastal Preps Boys Golfer of the Year is junior Ryan Jahr from West Brunswick.

Ryan’s Accomplishments

Consistency is what makes West Brunswick’s Ryan Jahr a special player. You will very rarely find him in trouble on the course and that allows him to stay away from double bogeys or worse.

Jahr had a terrific junior season by shooting in the 70s six times and also adding a 3-under-par 69 at Pine Valley Country Club. He finished with a stroke average of 74.7.

He earned medalist honors in five of the seven events he played, including the Mideastern Conference Championship at Magnolia Greens with an even-par 72. Jahr narrowly missed qualifying for the 3A State Championship after shooting a 75 at regionals. That round included three birdies and eight pars.
