Boo Weekley made a heck of an attempt. Really, he did. The character from the Florida boondocks who infamously talked about wind that could “make your butt hole pucker up” once on the Jim Rome show walked through an airport x-ray machine with two bullets in his carry on.
Proving that airport security is at least good enough to thwart Florida hillbillies, Weekley was stopped, detained, questioned and placed in very serious danger of never making it to Hawaii for this week’s season-opening tournament.
While Weekley no doubt gave Phil Mickelson a good idea on an excuse for one of his many tournament skips, he failed in what had to be his primary objective.
Showing that he is dumber than a rock, i.e. John Daly.
Sorry Boo. Nice try. But you’re still not even in the small ball park.
Though the bit about saying you used that bag in a recent hunting trip and didn’t look at it again before you left for Hawaii was good. It makes you think that some people might actually carry on the bag of a stranger who handed it to them (guess those annoying airport announcements have a purpose for the American Idol crowd).
This also all reminds TravelGolf.com’s own Tim McDonald of the time he tried to get on a plane with a dead possum he picked up in his own Florida swamp.
Again, still not dumber than Big John though.

Boo may be a dumb Florida hillbilly in your opinion, so at least he has that as an excuse.
Several others, so-called celebrities have been caught not only with live ammo in their carryon bags, but with the means to fire that ammo, operable handguns.
Barry Switzer, former football coach at the U, of Oklahoma, was arrested a few years ago attempting to board a flight with a fully-loaded weapon.
The wife of CNN commentator Lou Dobbs was also arrested in Newark International after a similar offense.
And Harry Connick jr., well-known singer and entertainer and the son of the DA in New Orleans, also was arrested with a loaded handgun in his carryon.
So one doesn't have to be a dumb yokel from the Florida panhandle to pull a bonehead stunt.
By the way, isn't Big John Daly a college graduate from the U. of Arkansas?
Keep the day job. Or half day job I should say. You're no K.
I thought this blog was supposed to be about Boo Weekley and John Daly.
Or is this the result of times being slow with few visitors posting?
As for the rest of it, I love watching kids squabble (Tim/Ron) - that's why I never HAD any! ;)
I bet the gun is not made in China.
If your current postings are any indication, you should never have to defecate again.
I have to side with Ron Mon here -- I have always associated him with fecal matter.
