About this ebook
From the deep South to the PGA Tour, the hilarious and inspiring memoir of golfer Boo Weekley
Ever since his breakout performance at the 2008 Ryder Cup, professional golfer Thomas Brent Weekley, known affectionately as "Boo," has captivated fans with his eccentric, Southern-fried country humor and incredible path to the top of the PGA Tour.
True Boo is the candid and often hilarious memoir of a larger-than-life athlete, and a wild behind-the-scenes look at life on the PGA Tour. Boo takes readers on a rollicking journey that begins with his humble childhood growing up in Milton, Florida. Called "a nobody from nowhere" and the "Crocodile Dundee of golf," Boo had to earn respect on the Tour. His game ascended in record time, culminating in his now legendary Ryder Cup victories—going 2-0-1 in his three matches—and his back-to-back Verizon Heritage wins.
With stories of his personal relationships with other players on tour including Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, frequent down-home phrases, figures of speech, locker-room language, plenty of "Booisms" and never-before-seen photos, this is a golf book unlike any other.

This is a great book - and not just for golfers. I bought the book because I am a golfer and a southerner - and as such - I follow Boo closely. But I am also a teacher, and was surprised and thrilled to find Boo spending a great deal of time on his being dyslectic, academic troubles, and his "rescue" by the special education teacher. His account of seeing her again at a book signing years later left me in tears!

Who knew life on the PGA Tour could be so amusing? Boo can get himself into some predicaments!!! I'm not a golfer but I love funny stories and this book is filled with them. In addition to the humorous tales, Boo also recounts many of the difficulties he has faced and how he has come through them. It's a great read. I highly recommend it!
