I’m here at Candlewood Country Club in Whittier for the Southern Section-Toyota boys ‘golf team finals. Chatter around the clubhouse is the competition is wide open with no clear-cut favorite.

It seems to me, however, that Servite has a bit of a home-course advantage. Just call it a hunch.

So far, the hole that has been giving the field the most problems is No. 11. I’m not a golfer, but if those that golf say Hole 11 is tough, than, hombre, I have to assume No. 11 is not easy. The fairways appear to be fast, ‘lighting,’ as one course official said, so it should be a quick day here. CIF officials are expecting the champions to be crowned around 1:30 p.m.
