Training camp doesn't start until 10 a.m. on Sept. 13, but the Blackhawks will be busy around town before that. They'll be out in force at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday (Sept. 4) for Blackhawks' night at a White Sox game. Then on Labor Day they'll be the featured attraction Cog Hill in Lemont on the first day of BMW Championship Week. In fact, the Hawks figure to be the ONLY attraction that day at Chicago's premier golf event. All the players in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs will be playing at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston on Labor Day and won't arrive at Cog Hill until Tuesday at the earliest. So, if you want to see the Hawks and golf you can watch some of their alumni, a few current players and a few media types compete in a nine-hole shootout over the newly-renovated Dubsdread course.
