College football kicks off in earnest this weekend, followed by the NFL next week. So, how will football viewing interfere with your weekend golf playing habits? The National Golf Foundation asked the poll question, "Which of the following best describes your approach to fall golf?" Two-thirds of the respondents (67%) selected "Good weather, I'll play." That response was followed by "I'm out on NFL Sundays" (14%), "Matchups would make me skip" (11%) and "No golf on CFB Saturdays" (8%).

> Question of the Week: From 1987 through 1997, the Tour Championship was played at seven different venues. Since 1998, 22 of the 25 Tour Championships have been played at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. Would you like to see the PGA Tour move its Tour Championship around the country? If so, which course.
