Posted by Conference championship season is underway in men’s college golf, with all roads leading to the NCAA Championship at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California, in May.
Teams that win their conference titles score an Automatic Qualifying spot in NCAA Regionals, which is a big deal for any team that might find itself on the bubble for an at-large postseason selection. A win earns a postseason bid, one step closer to a spot in the NCAA Championship.
Thirty men’s teams will make it to La Costa, which is in the first of three years hosting nationals.
