Daniel Summerhays Calls His Putter ‘Sweet Love’ And The Story Behind It Is Hilarious
PGA Tour player Daniel Summerhays has quite the story about his putter’s nickname.
Whether they tell you or not, most golfers have a nickname for their putter, especially if it has been in the bag for quite some time.
Daniel Summerhays calls his putter ‘Sweet Love’ and the story behind that is absolutely hilarious. Summerhays told the story to the media last week at the Memorial:
“But, no, there were definitely some times when — funny story, just a naive kind of sophomore in college at BYU, and I went off one day with the putter. I was making everything. And not just short, I was making 20, 25-footers. And I leaned over to Coach Brockbank and I said, ‘Coach, the putter is making sweet love to me. And so they named my putter Sweet Love. And even I’ll get texts from some of my college teammates, ‘let Sweet Love loose today,’ or something like that.”
That’s, uh, one interesting way to talk to your coach about your putter there, Mr. Summerhays, but hey what works, works.
Sweet Love let his master down on Sunday at the Memorial as Summerhays fired a 78, but still grabbed a T-10 finish.
