Boys' golf: It's a perfect day for... being at home

It's almost noon at SeaCliff Country Club in Huntington Beach, but it feels as if it's 7 p.m. It's cold, skies are gray and it feels as if a downpour is about to be unleashed on the golf course.

Hardly perfect golfing weather for the Southern Section-Toyota boys' golf individual Southern Regional. Thirty of today's participants from each of the three regionals -- Central is taking place at the Landmark at Hemet Golf Course and the Northern at the Sterling Hills Golf Course in Camarillo -- will move on to next Monday's finals at Mission Lakes Country Club in Desert Hot Springs, from which 24 will move on to the CIF/SCGA tournament on May 29 at the Member's Course in Murrieta, the final qualifying tournament for the CIF state championships on June 3 at the Santa Maria Country Club.

Results are being tabulated as I type this.

We should know who advances soon, but a playoff for the finals spots are expected. There are no ties today.
