Just Wanted to Share This About Boo Weekley

Via Fanhouse via PGA Tour via the AP:

Just as captain Paul Azinger promised, the Americans partied into the morning hours after winning the Ryder Cup.

Egged on by his teammates, Boo Weekley told the story of the time he was a teenager in the Florida Panhandle and paid $5 on 10-to-1 odds that he could land a punch against an orangutan. Weekley finally regained consciousness in the back of a pickup truck.

"That was hilarious," Anthony Kim said. "I could hear that story 100 times and keep laughing."

isn't it great...

…to not only have a guy like Boo around who has those stories to tell, but guys like Kim who openly crack up and have a great time retelling it ?

Umm...

Not exactly breaking news. :)

Heard this story last Sunday during the singles matches, I believe.

come on hawk

he didn’t say it was breaking news – but some people might not have heard it – I head the orangutang story months ago – the point is that it’s a great story and that, for a change, the US team was having a good time telling stories.

True

but I hadn’t posted it and I thought we could all use a laugh given the market meltdown. I agree with AK – that’ll never get old.
