Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here Byron Nelson bag policy. It ain’t rocket science, I tell ya.
First off, you gotta understand, they got this golf thing, the ATT Byron Nelson, down in Texas. McKinney, they say. Big to-do, lots of fancy folks, and they got rules ’bout what you can bring in.
Now, the main thing is them bags. You can’t just go luggin’ in any ol’ sack you please. They got sizes, you see. It’s gotta be 6x6x6 or smaller. That ain’t very big, let me tell ya. Like a little lunchbox, maybe. And don’t you go tryin’ to sneak somethin’ bigger in neither. They ain’t gonna let you through that gate, no sirree. They’ll measure it, and if it’s even a hair too big, you’re outta luck.
- Small bags only: 6x6x6 inches max. That’s the rule, plain and simple.
- No big backpacks: Don’t even think about it. Leave them big ol’ things at home.
- No oversized camera bags: They don’t want you luggin’ around a bunch of fancy equipment.
- No big chair bags: You wanna sit, you gotta carry a little somethin’ or find a spot on the ground.
Now, they got some other bags they allow, but they gotta be see-through. Clear plastic bags, you know. And those can’t be bigger than 12x6x12. That’s a bit bigger, but still not huge. So, if you gotta bring more stuff, get yourself one of them clear bags. But remember, even with the clear bag, stick to the size limit.
I heard tell they got this PGA Tour Prohibited Items list too. I ain’t looked at it myself, but I reckon it’s got all sorts of things you can’t bring in. Probably guns and knives and such. Common sense, really. But it’s always good to check, just in case. Don’t wanna get all the way there and have to turn around ’cause you brought somethin’ you shouldn’t.
This Byron Nelson fella, he was a golfer, see? A real good one, they say. Been around a long time ago, back in the thirties and forties. Smooth swing, they tell me. Guess that’s why they named this whole golf thing after him. It ain’t just a golf game, though. They got all sorts of things goin’ on. Food and drinks, and people watchin’. You don’t even gotta like golf to have a good time, I reckon.
They got this thing called a purse, but it ain’t the kind ladies carry. It’s the money they give to the winner, see? Big money, too. $9,500,000 they say. That’s a whole lotta dough. Enough to buy a whole lot of biscuits, let me tell ya.
And they got rules ‘bout what you wear, too. If you’re working there, that is. Gotta wear a special shirt, white with the Byron Nelson logo. And the fellas gotta wear navy pants or shorts, the nice kind, not them jean things. And the ladies gotta wear navy pants or shorts, too, but they can wear them capri pants or them short skirt things, if they want. But no jeans, and no them cargo shorts with all them pockets. They want you lookin’ presentable, you see.
So, if you’re headin’ down to that Byron Nelson thing, remember what I told ya. Small bags, 6x6x6 or clear bags, 12x6x12. Don’t go tryin’ to sneak nothin’ in. They’ll catch ya, sure as shootin’. And you don’t wanna miss out on all the fun just ‘cause you brought the wrong bag.
It’s all about havin’ a good time, see? And followin’ the rules. That’s what they want, and that’s what you gotta do. So, pack your little bag, put on your walkin’ shoes, and go on down there and enjoy yourself. Just remember what I told ya, and you’ll be just fine.
And one more thing. Don’t go expectin’ to find all this information on some fancy website. They got one, I hear, but it’s probably full of big words and complicated stuff. Just listen to me, and you’ll be alright. I know what I’m talkin’ about. Been around long enough to know a thing or two, I tell ya.
