(The photo comes from a Golfweek article from early January when David was denied a sponsor's exemption into the Humana Challenge, where he shot 59 to win back in 1999.)
Starting on December 8 David sent out these tweets:
- Giving an update to plans for next year soon.
- It will take several tweets so please be patient.
- Plan layout will be tomorrow or Tuesday. Going to take many tweets.
- So here goes. Please be patient.
- At the start of 2013 I had hoped to play and regain status. After playing a little on the west coast I realized I needed to get better.
- I talked to some close friends and decided to seek the help of Chris O. The work we have done in the 8+ months I am very pleased with.
- The restoration of my golf swing and of my hitting has been great. Unfortunately I have had nothing to show for it. I believe 100 percent in
- what I'm doing. The hitting can't be denied. With that bring said, st some point you must take ownership of what and how you are doing thing
- I had thought about playing in Europe next year but that really is not an option with the dedication I have to my wife and kids.
- Susie and the support she has giving me is the reason I still believe in myself.
- With all this being said I am hoping to play a PGA tour schedule. I believe in the work I'm found and the progress I have made.
- Chris O has been instrumental in helping me understand how and why I hit the golf ball well.
- I will be asking for exemptions in 2014.
- The things is though that I believe you have to own what you are doing and where you are going. I believe 100 percent I'm doing right.
- With all that bring said I wish to state without hesitation that 2014 is the last time I will ask for exemptions.
- I will be asking for starts but this is the last time. I think that if I can have a 20 event schedule then it's up to me to get my status.
- As a player you need to perform and if I don't do that in 2014 I will do something else.
- Thanks for the support. Goodnight.
- Last nights tweets were not a retirement announcement. They were a statement of what I believe. You can only ask for so many chances.
- I'm asking for one more chance next year. After that I won't ask again. It's up to me to perform.
Sometimes golf seems to be terribly unfair. But then most of life is that way, isn't it?
