Day 2 at Transitions with Boo

Weekley

MORE ON THE FIRST HOLE; BOO FIGHTING TO MAKE CUT (5:10 p.m.) — With the field finishing up the second round, we just noticed that the first hole has only given up two eagles in the first two days, and neither one of them were by players who hit the green in two. As we noted earlier, both Charles Howell and Stuart Appleby holed out from off the green.

Boo Weekley just came through the first hole, and he must have known that was sitting right on the cut line. Weekley went for the green on his second shot and nailed it to 10 feet from 248 yards out, but he missed the putt.

Weekley is one over for the tournament and needs to get back to even par to ensure playing on the weekend. Boo is one of the best ballstrikers on TOUR, but for whatever reason, he has not been comfortable at Copperhead, which is practically a home game for the Jay, Fla. resident, who lives several hours away in the Florida Panhandle. Weekley missed the cut here in both 2007 and 2008.

Military Appreciation Day at Doral with Boo and Davis Love III

DORAL, Fla. — It isn’t all about the golf on Saturday at the World Golf Championships-CA Championship.

The third round at Doral is also Military Appreciation Day, which includes a Navy Jet flyover, multi-service color guard and the Navy Women’s Glee Club singing the National Anthem.

Along with Saturday’s day of appreciation, active military, guard, reserves, retirees and their immediate families are receiving complimentary admission for all days of the championship.

In the Doral clubhouse, there’s a designated area called the “Patriots’ Outpost” which serves as a hospitality room for members of the military. Along with food and drinks, guests in the room were getting visits by players, including Boo Weekley and Davis Love III.

The corner of the room had a television and satellite feed set up with soliders stationed in Germany to play head-to-head against Weekley and Love in the latest Tiger Woods video game.

Needless to say, Weekley and Love weren’t nearly as good at the game as they are at the real thing.

Weekley, in fact, resorted to the desperate measure of heckling a solider over his headphones by calling out, “Noonan!” like in the movie Caddyshack during short putts.

Love wasn’t much better when he took over and admitted as much by saying, “I’ll bet I’m even worse than Boo at this.”

When they were done playing, Weekley and Love both posed for pictures, signed autographs and engaged in conversations.

“It’s not about wanting to support them, we have to support them,” Weekley said. “They do so much for us, protecting our freedom here. It’s the American way. I can’t thank them enough for what they do and I pray every day that they get their job done and come home safely.”

Love, who said he has visited the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., a few times, was also happy to give a few minutes of his time.

“It’s heart warming each and every time you’re able to meet the people who are working so hard to keep you safe,” Love said. “And despite what we see in the news so often, they know they’re doing a great job overseas and they want to be there serving our country. They need to know we appreciate the sacrafices they make being away from their families.”
