The Byron Nelson Classic 

Ah yes, my second favorite weekend of the year (although if the one in October keeps up its recent trend it will drop in the rankings) is upon us as The Byron Nelson Classic teed off in Las Colinas yesterday morning.

5 of the top 6 golfers in the world are here as everyone enjoys the treatment they receive at this tournament (better than anywhere else, it is said) and of course to pay tribute to the legendary Byron Nelson. David Toms said this week that it is pretty hard to say no when Byron himself walks up to you and simply says, "are you going to play my tournament?"

But it isn't simply about the golf...

The Nelson is the unofficial start to the Summer in these parts, as the women dress up in their best clubwear to walk the grass from the entrance to the Food Pavillion. Three inch heels at a golf tournament? Only in Dallas.
