Florida men’s golf in last after Day 1 of season-opening tournament

The Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic in Dalton, Ga., at The Farm Golf Course has come to a close, which means the first tournament of the season for the Florida’s men’s golf team has been completed. J.C. Deacon made his coaching debut during the tournament and after a rough first day, the Gators steadily improved on the second day, and held their ground on the final round of play. UF finished in 13th place out of 14 teams after shooting 33-over-par.

Rain, CVS and the Gator Nation in today's Darts & Laurels

The big story at UF this week was the cancellation of the inaugural game of the 2014 Gator football season against Idaho. After hours of lightning delays, Gator fans got a small, exciting taste of the upcoming season when Valdez Showers — how appropriate — ran back the opening kickoff for 64 yards. Unfortunately, the game was immediately postponed, and eventually canceled, after more lightning was spotted nearby. For making The Gator Nation wait a whole extra week to start the football season, we give a really-bad-timing DART to Florida thunderstorms.
