ATT Byron Nelson Golf Tournament

I got the chance to attend the ATT Byron Nelson Golf Tournament last week with my best gal pal, Laura. She got day passes and we decided to head out there on Friday so that it might not be too crowded and we could take a day off. Gotta love a random Friday off, it makes me feel so luxurious. Anyway, back to the story. It had been raining in Dallas for weeks, so honestly I wasn't sure we were going to make it out there. But the golfing started three hours late (which was nice for us to sleep in). We headed out there around noon and after finally figuring out where to park (lesson: look it up before you get there), we got to see the golfers. With the crazy amount of rain I opted to wear shorts and rain boots, which was both an awesome idea and a horrible idea.

We look so preppy!


We sat here in the shade at the 2nd green for the whole adventure

My dad said our options for the day were to wander with some golfers or to find a place to park it. We decided that parking it was probably better for us. The ground was super wet, so we spread out my raincoat to sit on. I am so glad I thought of this, when other people got up there pants were really wet. It was also crazy humid so it was nice to have a place under a tree. The rain boots were pretty awesome when we were walking around, the ground was super muddy and I don't like to get dirty, however after a while it got super hot in them. The lady behind me asked if my feet were hot and I told her they were so hot but I was afraid that they would stink so bad I wouldn't take them off. So I probably won't do that again but it was nice to not ruin my shoes.

We saw lots of golfers, it was so fun. We didn't get a chance to see Jordan Speith (the Dallasite), he was pretty close to finished when we arrived and it seemed like a silly idea to hustle over there to see him. I may regret that some day but it was still fun to see so many golfers. I loved getting to check this off my life bucket list with a friend. I am sure that my dad and I will hit up another golf tournament at some point, I would love to take him to the Masters at some point. All in all this was a great adventure.
