This is a swell idea, having performers in the Pavilion every night after the golf is over. Did they do this last year? I can’t recall. If so, correct me in the comments section. Anyway, Ingram plays on Friday, May 22. Full release after the jump.
P.S. Zac and I will participate tomorrow in the Byron Nelson media day tournament. Zac hasn’t played in about 15 years. Should be interesting. I’ll try to get a couple posts up from the course. But you might also want to follow along here: twitter.com/ZacCrain and twitter.com/timmytyper.
