UNC football players dabble in golf with Thursday afternoon team bonding session

I think I speak for college football fans across the country when I say this: August can’t get here soon enough.

ACC programs Florida State and Georgia Tech officially kick off the regular season on Saturday, Aug. 24 in Dublin, Ireland as part of the Aer Lingus Classic. There’ll be three other matchups that Saturday, including new ACC school SMU, but the big slate doesn’t start until five days later.

If you’re reading this article and excited about college football, you’re probably thinking: when do our North Carolina Tar Heels start playing?

Good question. We have an answer – Thursday, Aug. 29 at the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

This year is going to look a lot different for UNC, highlighted by a new quarterback. That competition is between Texas A&M and former LSU transfer Max Johnson, last year’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl starter Conner Harrell, who impressed in North Carolina’s Spring Game, plus Jacolby Criswell, who transferred back into Chapel Hill from Arkansas.

While the Tar Heels try to finalize their starters and overall depth chart for the 2024 campaign, they took to TopGolf for some team bonding on Thursday afternoon.

If you’re unfamiliar with TopGolf, it’s a multiple-story driving range with a variety of games people can play. Some choose to whack the ball as far as they can, others try to hit the “holes” with netting surrounding the flags, while you even have the option to play a full round.

Before UNC players dial down for the last month of their offseason, it’s refreshing to see them laughing, smiling and enjoying themselves.
