How can you not love Boo?

Posted by Anne Szeker | Categories: Boo Weekley

Boo Weekley has become a media star for his colorful post-tournament press conferences. Here are some quotes from his recent win at Harbour Town.

Q. Had you rehearsed something [for when the final putt went in]?
BOO WEEKLEY: No. I wanted to do the moonwalk, the belly-roll.

This golf is a crazy game. That's why I only want to do it for so long and get out of it (laughter).

Q. What is it you'd like to do when you get done with this?
BOO WEEKLEY: Where you been? (Laughter). Where have you been? I don't want to do nothing but hunt and fish.
Q. I thought you might have to have another profession in mind.
BOO WEEKLEY: That's it, hunting and fishing. That's a profession.

Q. Did you play the entire round chewing tobacco? How often do you do that and what does if do for you in a round of golf?
BOO WEEKLEY: I don't think chewing tobacco is the whole key, I just like to spit a lot, you know (laughter). Kind of have to have something in my mouth, I reckon, like a Jolly Rancher or something.
I didn't have it in there the whole round. I put it in a couple of holes and throw it out a couple of holes. It's just back and forth. Whenever I think I feel like I need one or get tired of spitting white stuff.

Q. I guess we see golfers all the time that just really focused and into it, they don't look either way in the gallery, they don't interact with anybody in the gallery. That's not you. You seem to enjoy that kind of stuff even when you're leading the tournament?
BOO WEEKLEY: These people paid their money to come out and watch us play, why not talk to them a little bit? The way I feel about it, they're paying my bills. They're helping out anyway. So why not talk to them? That's all they want. They want you to acknowledge them.
