The local scholastic golf season is off and swinging for several teams. At La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School, the Lady Torreys opened play recently with a loss to Canyon Crest Academy. With only three returning varsity lettermen — senior Jennie Kim and juniors Brooke Mehregany and Frances Kim — the Lady Torreys are looking for help from a host of new players. Freshman Kristen Mizutani was the low scorer for LJCD in her first varsity match with a 48. Mehregany was next with a 62, as both teams found the scoring rough at Del Mar County Club in a 298-318 victory for CCA. LJCD sophomores Natasha Moss and Ire Chen made their debuts for the team against CCA. A day later, LJCD traveled to Mission Trails Golf Course to take on Horizon Christian in the first Coastal League match of the season. Sophomores Alex Levine and Hannah Armour made their first starts as LJCD fell by a score of 299-315. Mizutani was match medalist with a score of 46, followed by Kim with a 54. LJCD would fall to Canyon Crest Academy in a rematch a week later, 240-268. Mizutani again led the team with a 45, followed closely by Kim with a 48. Mehregany (55) and Frances Kim (56) turned in their lowest scores of the young season, while freshman Gloria Yu shot a 64 in her first match. Elsewhere, The Bishop’s School returns four key players from last year’s Coastal League championship squad. Leading the way will be juniors Alexa Bisbas and Mimi Williams. They will be supported by a very strong sophomore class with Courtney Hooten, Spenser Krut and McKenna Meyer. Bishop’s started the season with a convincing 227-325 win over San Dieguito Academy. Hooton came in with a one-over-par 37 (medalist), while Krut was close behind with a 39. Also supporting the team were returning veterans Bisbas and Meyer. Making their debut performances were newcomers Monica Kim and Alicia Cabrera-Miño.
