Boo Weekley Is Writing a Book

Yes. Yes, is your answer. Yes, that title is serious. Yes, Boo Weekley, we're assuming, can read and write. Yes, the most charismatic and interesting player on the PGA Tour has decided to take his incredible personality to the printing press, and the only thing I ask is: Can this please be published before Father's Day? My dad is hard to buy for.

Weekley, who has mused over fighting an Orangutan, dropping his keys in a Port-O-Potty during Jay Leno and showed how to properly ride your driver during the Ryder Cup, admitted yesterday to wanting to start this biography.

People with eyes, rejoice.

"We just trying to start out - we are trying to start it out and just trying to - of how I got into golf, you know, and what my past has been like and the things that I've come about and the thing that I've overcome, just different things like that. It's just mostly about golf, right now until we find a publisher and then I started throwing some other stuff in there."

Well, from that above sentence we can all assume Boo isn't going to be slaving over a typewriter. He said a guy from Jackson, Miss. named Paul Brown is writing the book. I'm sure Paul is good and all, but is he really going to bypass the FanHouse golf group and not do write this book collectively?

Ryan Wilson, Will Brinson and I will all go to Boo's house and just sit in a deer stand for days, writing down his quotes. I promise you that after two days in a deer stand with three guys and a Boo, we will get something hilarious.

Oh, and just a little excerpt from what should be some slap-your-knee lines. How has Boo learned to focus on the golf course?

"I bring everything I do on the golf course is something that's happened to me in the woods," Weekley explained yesterday, perhaps previewing the kind of inimitable insights that will fill his book. "That's how my focus is and what I'm thinking about, not just like a different shot. This is a shot right here, I've got to hit this cut shot. Well, if I shoot this bow, if I'm shooting my bow, I have to slide it right through this window; is that what I want to do, or do I want to try to wait for my opportunities later on the next hole?"

For my next golf shot: Just shoot the bow, Shane. Just shoot the bow!
