April 26-29, 2007
This was an exciting year for us as volunteers at the Byron Nelson Golf Tournament. (Pictured is our view of the 17th hole - where we work.)
Joni got her 20 year pin, even though this was her 21st year. And Delton got a distinguished banner with his name on it, which was flown in the volunteer tent. 
Pictured we are standing in the volunteer tent under Delton’s banner. 
We were very
surprised when we walked in on the first day of the tournament.
Also pictured are the Laser Volunteer committee chairmen, Charlene and Barbara. They are the best. They make us all feel very special. We look forward to seeing them every year.
Our job is to measure the distance each player hits the ball from the tee box to the hole. The information we gather is transmitted to the media and that is how the announcers know how far the ball has been hit and far they have to go to get it into the hole. We are located in a tower that stands about 10 feel high and use survey equipment to “shoot” the ball.
Pictured are Joni and Ron, Delton’s brother, in our tower. This is Ron’s 2nd year to work the Byron and we’ve enjoyed having him work with us on our hole in our tower. Next to us is the CBS Sports tent.
