The Friday Boo

Because Boo Weekley has become our favourite golfer here at GP Towers (apologies Mr. Whitehouse), we look back at some of the great things to come out of his gang and mob over the years:

On St Andrews; “I didn't know it was the home of golf. I thought the home of golf was where I was from.”
After shooting a 65 at Southern Hills: “I love to play the game. But my heart is really with huntin’ and fishin.”

At the start of the Ryder Cup when asked if it was better than hunting: “No, not right now. It ain't nothing like shooting a deer.”

At the end of the Ryder Cup when asked if hunting was better than the Ryder Cup “No, I don't think so. This is more right up my alley here.”
On the food at The Open: “It's different eating here than it is at the house. Ain't got no sweet tea, and ain't got no fried chicken."

On losing his temper: “I only ever lose my temper when I’m on the golf course. I smashed my putter up pretty bad and hurled it in the garbage can. I don’t know why golf does it to me…when I don’t hit the ball good it drives me crazy.”

On being knocked out by an Orangutan: “Yeah that happened, I’m not proud of it and it was a long time ago. I was at a country fair, it was $5 a pop and there was a $50 prize fund. I was young and $50 went a long way back in 1989 – I could’ve brought a whole bunch of beers with that money – but I got knocked out cold pretty soon.”

On retiring: “I won’t be doing no course design or media stuff. I figure if I can keep hitting this golf ball well and earn some bucks along the way then hopefully I’ll have enough to go home, chill out and live high on the hog forever.”
