D.A. Points is "Not Perfect"

En route to a 4th place finish at the Greenbrier Classic in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, D.A. Points, shot an incredible 61 (-9) on Saturday afternoon.  D.A. needed only (2) more birdies on the final 3 holes to become the 5th person to ever shot a 59 on the PGA Tour.  However eventual winner, Stuart Appleby, would earn that distinction a day later on Sunday.

During coverage on Saturday, the cameras caught D.A. Point's ball in a green side bunker with the words "Not Perfect" written on his golf ball.  When asked to explain the markings after the round, D.A. replied, "My caddie thinks I'm a little hard on myself. So one side says "not perfect," and then the other "but " I write stuff like that on my golf ball. Just little things to keep me thinking about positive stuff."

Since the British Open, D.A. is the second PGA professional near or atop the leader board to use positive reminders on the golf course which is the same space and concept PTR Labels is promoting with their shapes and designs.  I definitely expect the trend to continue.

Elgin Open

I played in the Elgin Open this weekend at The Highland of Elgin which marked my first competitive round of golf in nearly 9 years.  In the opening round, I was standing on the 14th hole, a reachable par 5, at 3 under par and in prime position to post a 67 or 68.  I end up making double bogey and stumbling to an even par 72.  It was a very disappointing finish but had somebody asked me prior to the round if I'd be happy shooting a 72, I probably would've said, "yes."

The second round was a disaster.  I hit some bad shots, got some bad breaks, and then the round just kind of spiralled out of control from there.  I finished with an 84 (72-84) which put me somewhere around 7th place out of 55-60 golfers.  Nevertheless, I had fun challenging myself again in that environment.  A high school friend caddied for me, the weather was great, my daughter Addison was waiting for me on the 18th green, and I was determined to have fun.  And I did.
