LJ b golf: 1st match Thurs., 2/25 vs. Torrey Pines

By Ed Piper

In Coach Aaron Quesnell's swan song before assuming the Athletic Director's reins, La Jolla's boys golf team takes on Torrey Pines at La Costa Resort and Spa Thurs., Feb. 25, in its opening match of the shortened 2021 season.

The Viking boys, who only sneaked in seven playing dates in 2020 before COVID shut down spring sports, send out senior Richard Chao, freshman Nathan Wittkow, sophomore Kaden Ward, freshman Ciaran Snyder, junior Edwin Feinberg, and freshman Evan Upatham, in that order, against the Falcons, who always rate at or near the top of CIF San Diego Section golf sextets.

In last year's opener against Torrey Pines, La Jolla got smoked by 41 strokes, which isn't bad, considering the strength of the TPHS program.

The Vikings are a young team led by Chao, the sole senior in the top six. Three freshman and a sophomore populate the six, which portends for a new and refreshing ride in this COVID season.
