GRAFTON, MA — As Ryan Chagnon clutched his Odyssey putter, which served as a make-believe microphone on Oct. 8, the Grafton High golf player conducted an impromptu interview with teammates from the parking lot at Highfields Golf & Country Club.

“Good afternoon, Gator family, today the Grafton Gators took on the Tantasqua Warriors, 200 to 204, give a round of applause to the fellas, big (win) on senior night as you can tell,” said Chagnon while being recorded on a cell phone.

The Grafton golf captain wrapped up his post-match interview with: “We got Highfields Cup on Tuesday, we’re hype for that, alright? Here we go,” a few seconds before teammate Harry Clarke set off a confetti popper from the trunk of a car.

Five days later, Chagnon and Co. picked up right where they left off in the same parking lot (but different car) following a victory over Blackstone Valley Tech.

“Good afternoon Grafton golf family, today the Grafton Gators took on the Beavers, 195 to 210, big (win), Highfields Cup we took it back as you can see,” said Chagnon as he clung to his putter with a Scooby-Doo head cover that has ‘The Putting Machine’ embroidered on it while Clarke clutched the Highfields Cup trophy. “… Love to see it, Mid-Wach tournament tomorrow, we’ll see you there.”

In a trend that’s made its way around Instagram over the past few years, Grafton is just one of the many high school golf teams that’s taken to social media to share their successes (and failures — looking at you, Mr. Irrelevant) on the links during the fall.

“It’s a lot of fun and it brings the guys together,” Chagnon said.

Around the same time the Grafton High golf team popped confetti from the parking lot in Grafton on Oct. 8; the Bay Path golf team celebrated a few milestones in Charlton.

The Minutemen set a school record for the lowest combined team score in a match with a 148-159 victory over Uxbridge at the Heritage Country Club. Junior Tyler Friend fired an even-par 35 and collected his first ever hole-in-one with a nine-iron shot on a 157-yard par 3.

“Dumped (it) right in there,” said Friend in a post-match interview with teammate Owen Kennedy that was posted to the Bay Path golf team Instagram account.

Bay Path players recorded the video from a boat located outside teammate Andrew Lashua’s house.

Ahoy Minutemen! Extra points for creativity.

“The interviews have been a tradition for Bay Path golf, which has been passed down,” Friend said. “And it always brings the team together to make those interviews and have fun with it.”

Following a 191-213 win over Grafton on Sept. 21, the Wachusett golf team posted a video to their Instagram account.

The 51-second clip started with audio of a Soulja Boy song “Turn My Swag On” before Andrew Victor hosted an interview with teammates Will Sullivan and Luke Kirton.

“It was basically just darts all around,” said Sullivan about his round.

Victor, meanwhile, held onto a Smiley Ball plushy with a green “W” stapled on top of the WooSox mascot’s head.

“Just like how he’s become a staple for our team,” Kirton said.

The real WooSox mascot showed up to Bedrock Golf Club in Rutland a week earlier and hit some practice putts with the Wolverines before their win over Westborough. A few days later, Wachusett coach Nick Guerin bought the plushy to serve as the prize for his team’s low round of the day and post-match microphone.

“Having Smiley at our match was a lot of fun and gave us something different to bring to the season,” Kirton told the T&G. “Even though he made it to one match, he’s become a fun part of our team, especially with the interviews we do with him. It’s something that brings us together and gives us good memories outside of just playing golf as well as some motivation to win him for playing well.”

Shepherd Hill golfers gathered in the trunk of a car on Sept. 16 to collect their thoughts after a 166-172 victory over North Middlesex.

“It wasn’t pretty. … It could’ve been worse,” said Dylan Snow, who carded a team-best score of 38. “Just boring golf.”

Snow then interviewed — with his own putter serving as a mic — a trio of teammates who all shot 43s, including his twin brother, Chris.

“It’s a very fun way to bond with your teammates and connect while making the videos,” Snow said. “It’s also a great way to congratulate a player if they have a good day.”

On Oct. 1, Sutton High golfer John O’Leary broke a course (and school) record with a 5-under par 31 at Pakachoag Golf Course in Auburn to help the Sammies secure a 150-153 victory over the Rockets.

Following his historic round, O’Leary was interviewed by teammate Josh Leary — who held a shoehorn as a faux microphone.

“John, how’d you play today?” Josh asked.

“I shot out of my mind,” John replied.

“A little birdie told me that that’s the course record, is this true?” Josh inquired.

“I’m honored, it’s my best round ever, super super excited,” John said.

From boats to fast-food pit stops to trunks of cars, and everywhere else in between, golf interviews are the latest rage on Instagram.

It’s a trend that’s taken over high school golf teams across Central Mass.

“It’s fun to see how much social media has changed the sport,” Valley Tech golf captain Chase O’Connell said. “It kind of brings a different light to it. Instead of it being 100 percent serious, there’s also this silly, goofy side to it where even when kids have a bad round it can turn the day around for someone.”

“I love looking at all the other team’s Instagram accounts, watching what they’re up to and seeing their unique perspectives on what they do,” BVT golf captain Drew Shanahan said. “It brightens the mood for everyone. It’s just a fun thing to get all the boys together and make a video and I love the Instagram (trend) overall.”
