Shout FORE For Father’s Day

Duke-University-Golf-ClubIt’s sad to admit it, but so often people neglect the celebration of Father’s Day. Mother’s Day is always a fairly big celebration but when it comes to our dads, sometimes we fall short on showing them just how much we appreciate what they do. Perhaps even you have slacked off on Father’s Day in the past; well not this year. Father’s Day is THIS Sunday so you still have time to do something really special. If I can make a suggestion, why not send your dad to the Duke University Golf Club for the most beautiful 18 holes in the area?

A day at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club is the perfect gift to tell your dad how much he means to you. The course has been highly ranked in Golf Digest, GolfWeek, Golf Magazine and more, with six PGA Professionals on staff and one Master PGA Pro. The Duke University Golf Course was ranked the best public course in the Triangle by The Triangle Business Journal. If you have a golf fan for a dad, he will absolutely love the beauty, professionalism, and challenge that Duke University Golf Course has to offer. Visit their site at the link above for prices and additional information.

Splurge on your dad, he deserves it!

World Cup

Not too many people fancy soccer in the states, but it’s actually the most popular sport in the world! That has to tell you something; Americans are missing out! I grew playing soccer, but I eventually went with baseball instead (they were played during the same season where I grew up).

soccerLet’s face it, baseball is America’s Pastime and always will be, but I’ve been to England and attended a ‘football’ match. It was a blast! If we participated in soccer games like the rest of the world I think baseball would get a run for its money. But, of course it would take time to build that tradition because there are teams (clubs if you will) in England that have been around for 150 years plus. And there are families that have literally followed that team ever since. And we have tried to bring soccer to the states with our infant soccer program, the MLS. The LA Galaxy of the MLS signed David Beckham to a three-year deal and of course the hype was huge for a month or to, but subsided when he went down injured. It’s going to take more than an international all star playing in the states; we’re going to need FIFA and the World Cup!
This is where I come in; sign the petition to get the World Cup in the US in 2018 or 2022. We can do it! This is the only way to join the world in the love for soccer. It’s a brilliant game.

It used to be that the key to becoming the Super Bowl champ was to play the defense hard and run the ball. That was then, this is now, and it seems as though things have changed!
