Jack and Chase Zucker Hope to Lead Revere Golf Team to Repeat 

By STEVE GALLUZZO | Sports Editor

The sport of golf is challenging, but identical twins Chase and Jack Zucker sure make it look easy at times. The 13-year-olds are in seventh grade and in the Magnet Program within Paul Revere Middle School. Both get stellar grades on the course and in the classroom.

Amazingly, both play guard for their AAU basketball team called Bucket Boys that recently received the distinction of being an Adidas sponsored program.

Jack and Chase play either golf or basketball almost every day of the week. For them, there is no such thing as “time off” for the offspring of proud parents Eric and Dr. Lanvi Do-Zucker.

Chase has been on a tear on the links of late, earning medalist honors after shooting 1-under par 26 with three birdies on the nine-hole layout at the 2024 Delphic League Championships last May. at Sinalloa Golf Course in Simi Valley. He was only in sixth grade then and his effort also led Revere to the team title with a cumulative score of 174. Chase vaulted into the lead with three consecutive birdies on holes 6, 7 and 8.

Jack also contributed to the team crown, tying for 11th overall at +3. Under the guidance of coach under the watchful eye of Coach Jeremy Alpert, Revere went 9-1 in Delphic League regular season matches against all private schools, gled by the Zucker boys’ steady low scores.

In October, Chase gained national recognition after winning the Future Champions Golf Callaway World Series Golf Event in Auburn, Washington with a two-day total of two under par. Chase was handed the Husky Trophy, as the tournament is hosted by the University of Washington, and automatically qualified for the Callaway World Championship in Palm Desert in July—an event reserved for the top 100 juniors in the world.

Chase’s hot streak continued November 23-24 when he tied for first in the Ventura County Junior Golf Association event at Alisol River Course in Solvang, where he carded a 75.

Chase got his first hole-in-one at the Santa Barbra County Junior Championship in December,, placing fourth with a 79.

On January 14, playing a US Kids Los Angeles Tour event at Los Robles Golf Course in Thousand Oaks, Chase fired a 77 to tie for first and last month in yet another Ventura County Junior Golf Association event at one of Chase’s favorite courses—Monarch Dunes Golf Course in Nipomo—he was absoultely thrilled to shoot a 77, which was good enough for second place.

To punctuate his stellar play of late, less than three weeks ago, Chase resumed his remarkable striong of Top Five finishes by becoming the runner-up with rounds of 77 and 73 at a California Junior Golf Tournament in Diamond Bar.

Chase’s next goal is to defend his Delphic League title and help Revere repeat as team champion.
