Byron Nelson Media Tourney Recap
Okay, so we didn’t win. The D Mag team of Zac Crain (pictured with beard), Josh Pearson (fancy shorts), Andy Stern (looks like responsible adult), and yours truly (dashing) shot about six strokes off the pace. Afterward, at the awards ceremony luncheon, whereat first through third collected HP digital picture frames and so forth, there ensued a brief question and answer period with Paul Earnest, course poobah for the Four Seasons. There was talk about how for the first time the course was not over-seeded for the winter. It’ll be all Bermuda for the Byron this year.
Then came a question from the back of the room: “This is just a hypothetical question,” the inquisitor began. “But what if, say, a tractor were to wind up in a water feature on the course? Hypothetically, how would you extract that tractor?” I’ll let Zac be the final judge, but I thought my question was well-received. (See picture, attached.)
To conclude, I’d like to offer a few suggestions to tourney organizer Tracy Cobb: you ought to hand out awards for stuff other than low scores. I’m spitballing here, but what about a trophy for the team that puts up the most tweets and blog posts from the course? Or how about an award for the player with the oldest set of clubs? Zac played with a set of borrowed Black Eye Pings from circa 1982. He would have been a lock. Also: an award for the foursome with the most empty beer cans at the end of the round. You’d need to talk to legal about that, but you see where I’m headed.
Looking forward to the tournament with the real players, May 18 through 24. Tune in to FrontBurner for live coverage from the course.
