“I go, why not? I started saying that, and so to do it, they started stamping my golf balls.” Here Blockie, his nickname that is on his staff bag, picks up the thread of the story: “Why not just clip this, spin it to the right three feet, and make the putt?” he recalled.

The genesis of Block’s “Why not” ball stamping goes like this: More than 15 years ago, he said he was the type of player who used to question himself over every shot, the type who’d also get ahead of himself booking hotel rooms in his mind before he made the cut or even qualified for a tournament.
