Leave it to downhome, plainspoken Boo Weekley to provide some common-sense perspective on a PGA TOUR player’s mindset going into this week’s FedEx St. Jude Classic at TPC Southwind. “It’s just a matter of getting everything in sync, and letting the stars line up and it happening,” said Weekley, who experienced such an energizing scenario two weeks ago by winning the Crowne Plaza Invitational. It was the first victory in the last five years – and third of his career – for Weekley, who got his nickname from Yogi Bear’s sidekick, ‘Boo Boo’ Bear. “I have a lot of family that lives close to here, so it’s always fun to be here playing in front of my family,” Weekley said. “Very rarely do they get to come out and see me play. It’s good to be back.” Grinning, he added: “It’s hot. I love it.” Asked how many family members he expects, Weekley’s folksy charm continued. “Well, I’ve got family that live in Hartselle, Alabama; Florence, Huntsville, Hamilton . . . and then there’s a couple of ‘em just south of New Hope just down there into Mississippi . . . I’ve got some that’s comin’ from Elba, Alabama, and Brantley, and then the ones that come from my house -- my mom and them from Santa Rosa County, down there in Milton, Florida.” The rejuvenation that a victory has given Weekley was clear, and he said it’s taken a little restraint and lots of determination to get back into a champion’s jacket on TOUR. “I’ve slowed down on the hard activities,” said Weekly, who attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. “Like, you know, I build a barn or somethin’ like that around the house. Instead of me pickin’ up a 4-by-4 that’s 12-foot long and try to stand it up myself, I get people to help me now or use my tractor. “Instead of doing stuff that I used to do by myself, now I’m having to use people to help me because I’m afraid I might hurt myself and I don’t want to tweak something or tear something up again.” Coincidentally, Snedeker, the reigning FedExCup champion from Nashville, has a similar attitude regarding his health, and also regarding the support he expects to get at the FESJC. “This is a very big event for me, being as close to Nashville as I can get. Memphis feels like a home tournament to me,” he said. “Obviously, being the FedExCup champion, it holds a special meaning for me this year because I’m proud to have that title next to my name. I realize I’m representing (FedEx) a little bit this week.” Snedeker is also dealing with health concerns that involve a brittle and painful bone condition in his rib-cage area that requires medication designed to regenerate bone growth in the affected areas. “It’s like taking an insulin shot and taking it every day,” the former Vanderbilt star said. “I’ve got to travel with it. I’ve got to keep it refrigerated . . . so I’m traveling with ice packs and all that stuff. The biggest thing is the logistics.” So now it becomes a matter of winning and Weekley is the player in the field who has won on TOUR most recently. “(Winning) frees you up. You don’t get as mad,” he said. “Like you’ve got a 100-yard shot and expect to hit it within 10 foot and you hit it 12 foot and it spins back and goes in the water. Well, if I was on the bubble there trying to make sure I keep my PGA TOUR card, I’d be upset and wanting to beat my bag or break somethin’ with my attitude.” His attitude is fine now, though, coming off a victory. “Oh, it’s fun,” he said, beaming a smile. “People are always congratulatin’ you, you know.” As happy as he was to win the Crowne Plaza Invitational, he said, “That was two weeks ago. That’s over with. My goal now is to win this one. You can’t live in the past.” |
From this interview looks like Boo is feelin it. Also know who to call next time I need to build a barn
