Nolan Visits: Pro-Am

The Wednesday Nolan was here Matt and I both took the day off so we could go to the Pro-Am at the Phoenix Open. If you haven't heard of this before, it is a golf tournament of famous people/pro-golfers/executives that pay a lot of money to play that takes place during the PGA Tour's stop in Phoenix. It was pretty awesome!

We got there pretty early to make sure we could sit on hole 16 which is a temporary stadium built around a par 3 hole. It is entertaining!!

Here is Brian Urlacher in the blue polo.

And here is Larry Fitzgerald after he sunk his put!

More gorgeous views!

Then we decided to walk around to check out some other holes. We got up close and personal to Justin Upton as he chipped.

Then when the next group came in, one ball landed a couple feet from us. One of the volunteers said it may have been Emmitt Smith's ball!! Sure enough, it was! We talked to Emmitt Smith!!!! It was the coolest thing ever! He was awesome!

Next went the hometown hero, Dierks Bentley!

Rickey Fowler and Dierks Bentley hanging out on the green!

In the background is Phil Mickelson picking up his ball out of the pin.

We had such a fun time watching and chit-chatting with everyone!
That night we headed to the Bird's nest (next to the golf course) for a concert-it was a HUGE day!!

It was also super cold for Phoenix in February!!

First, we heard Dylan Scott. Turns out, I had heard like three of his songs. He was good!!

Then we listened to a DJ for a while as they set up for the main act, Rascal Flatts! It is always fun to hear their music although they were maybe a little bit past their prime. But I do love their music!!

Well that was all for one day. Check back soon for a few more exciting days of our fun!!
