Dabo Swinney’s golf club made a mini-Clemson football field

Clemson fans are getting excited for the team’s first appearance in the College Football Playoffs and a nearby golf club that counts coach Dabo Swinney among its members is going all out in anticipation of the postseason.

The Reserve at Lake Keowee is showcasing a half-scale football field on the lawn leading up to the clubhouse, complete with the Tigers’ orange paw logo.

The club says the new addition is not just a show piece either, as club director of sales and former Clemson player Rutledge Livingston says the members plan to use the mini-field for a friendly post-Christmas game of two-hand touch, according to the course’s website.
