Anyone have a contact or have 2 extra tickets? Hoping to get my Dad to come up from Houston so we can go.

what if I identify as a veteran?
just curious...i also feel like a senior citizen.
I got to go to Trinity Forest three months ago and predict that the Nelson will not last five years there; people underestimate how bad that location is. Besides the fact that it is in arguably the worst part of Dallas, the lack of parking, amenities, and the longer drive for most of the people that actually go to the tournament will keep people at home. Add to that it's a links course (it's built on an old landfill, not out of the actual forest), Nelson's loss will be Colonial's gain.03ki11erAG said:
It is. Not looking forward to the move.
None of the country clubs north of 30 wanted the Nelson. Assuming they get a good off site parking set up I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a hit.Ag CPA said:I got to go to Trinity Forest three months ago and predict that the Nelson will not last five years there; people underestimate how bad that location is.

If Dallas was that desperate to bring the Nelson back to the city they should have gone back to Preston Trails or some other nice CC north of 30.
I think the pros will like the change of venue. I have heard the pros that have played Trinity Forest like the course more than the TPC las colinas.wbt5845 said:
Trinity Forest reminds me of that Chambers Bay where they had the US Open a couple of years ago - without Puget Sound, of course. Kinda funky and tricked up.
It will be a unique stop, for sure. I think it'll be fun. It's the new wave of golf courses - more natural to where the course is vs. the manicured country club look.
Well, I like Mansfield National better than Las Colinas TPC.powerbelly51 said:I think the pros will like the change of venue. I have heard the pros that have played Trinity Forest like the course more than the TPC las colinas.wbt5845 said:

I am not entirely sure where the best place to watch out there will be, but it will be fairly spectator friendly I think.wbt5845 said:Well, I like Mansfield National better than Las Colinas TPC.powerbelly51 said:I think the pros will like the change of venue.

Frankly, I think it'll be a lot of fun - Trinity Forest is actually an easier drive for me so I'm looking forward to it.
It would be hot as hell out there in June without any shade.chick79 said:
TPC Las Colinas is not even a Top 10 venue in the Metroplex. I'm looking forward to the change. There is talk of the US Open being at Trinity Forest in the future.

Was just thinking that, it's going to be brutal in May/June with no shade anywhere.powerbelly51 said:It would be hot as hell out there in June without any shade.chick79 said:

There is not a single tree on the course.

I really like Craig Ranch, but I think it would have the same issue Four Seasons does - too easy for these guys.Ag CPA said:
Years ago, the course that was always thrown out as the next venue for the Nelson was TPC Craig Ranch. Nice course but it was probably too far from Dallas considering that is where the charity aspect is concentrated.
