Performance of the Week: Bay City Western's Drew Goik
May 23, 2025
Drew Goik ♦ Bay City Western
Junior ♦ Golf
Goik sank a birdie putt in a playoff hole to edge teammate Logan Gehoski for the medalist honor at the Bay County Championship at Green Hills Golf Course in Pinconning after both had helped their team card a tournament record-292 to claim the team championship. The playoff was only the third during the event’s 56-year history – and first since Goik’s father Brent also won a tie-breaker in 1992.
Both Drew Goik and Gehoski shot 1-under-par 71 to set up the playoff. Goik, while growing up around the sport, is a relative newcomer playing it having taken it up during the summer before his freshman year of high school. He previously played baseball most intensely growing up and also played basketball at Western his first two years of high school before turning his focus to golf this past winter. The Bay County win was his third tournament title this spring.
