This isn't "Football at the Golf Course", but as you all know, our great tradition of playing football on Thanksgiving at the school-yard has continued since around the early 90's.  Nobody really has a clear date on the beginning of the tradition as anthropologists were even brought in to ponder.  However, it is a great morning usually followed by a hefty lunch at Golden's.  

This page will serve to pay some homage to the day that is "Day After Thanksgiving Football" day.  We should continue to take pictures each year and share them as some years I have a ton of pictures and other I have one or two.  Enjoy the pictures and as always I look forward to seeing you all around that time of year
