College football kicks off
However, with the college football season kicking off this weekend, coupled with a low overnight temperature, it is now officially Fall Sports season. The NC State Wolfpack, Duke Blue Devils, and UNC Tar Heels all played their season-openers on Saturday. The Pack and Blue Devils won, but the Tar Heels didn't. However, in playing with 12 starters out of their line-up, the Heels almost pulled it off. With the NCAA investigation going on in Chapel Hill, winning a few football games will be paramount to keeping spirits up for UNC fans this Fall.

PGA Tour players are not the only ones who have something to contend for during this Fall season with the current race for the Fed Ex Cup play-offs taking place this weekend at the Deutsche Bank Classic at TPC Boston. Many local amateur golfers are preparing for their own club championships that will take place in the next month or so. Yours truly is going to take the plunge in joining the field at his local club with the goal of just making the top 10 in just under a month. Why write about it if you don't do it? Future posts will highlight the intense workouts and range work that is involved in preparing for such a rigorous challenge.
