A trip to the Cherry Valley Country Club in Montgomery on Tuesday allowed Ridgewood High School’s girls golf coach Brian Quirk a moment to think ahead.
“We’ve been on the cusp of qualifying for the state championship round and we hope to get there this year,” Quirk said once he arrived home Tuesday from the Montgomery Lady Cougar Invitational — also known as the Cherry Valley Invitational. “And since the state matches are played at Cherry Valley, it was nice to get in a round on that course.”
Familiarizing oneself with the field of battle is one thing, but now Quirk is working to align his troops for the surge that lies ahead.
The Maroons begin with their lone senior, Jessica Chang; sophomore Hyoyi Joo and junior Kiley Chmiel, all of whom stood out in the shoot-four, count-three event.
“When we count four [golfers in the scoring process], Diana Soriano, another junior, is probably the one,” he said. “She’s in the same boat as the first three. We’re looking for Diana to start to contribute regularly.”
