Just days before the 2013 Ponce De Leon Invitational was to begin, first year player Brooks Brown found himself laid up in the hospital after a boating accident, unable to play. His team substituted  Greenbrier Head Golf Pro Jamie Hamilton and the rest is history. West 44 won the tournament.  Check out this e-mail from “The Logo” to Brooks the Sunday before the tournament.

Brooks-

Wishing you and team West 44 much success in the Greenbrier tournament.  I’m very flattered by the choice of your team name and I’m hoping that you enjoy your time at my second home, White Sulphur Springs, WV!

Very Sincerely,

Jerry West
