Hey Boo Boo, lets go steal..

...some face time at dinner after you win the Verizon Heritage! Monday past I was at work for the beginning salvo of golf tournament visitors here on Hilton Head; my first guests of the evening were a couple of regulars. Got them started with a couple of glasses of wine and handed them menu's and turned and watched as Glen Day, Mark Brooks, Boo Weekley, Brandt Snedecker and five or six caddies walked in the front door and moved into the remaining seats at the bar. This was going to be a gas. We had prepped ourselves for the onslaught of guests but I had not realized that since he won the Heritage (locals refer to it as such...it's had many sponsors taglines...WorldCom Heritage, MCI Heritage, Verizon Heritage, but it will always be the "Heritage" for all of the Lowcountry) Glen Day returned to the scene of the crime; his favorite restaurant from 1999 to the present. His buddies came along at his recommendation and there they would be EVERY NIGHT until the tournament concluded on Sunday at about six o'clock.

Boo was particularly interested in the "rumour" that I was able to do a complete gymnastic split. Not one to disappoint, I performed like a circus monkey...but only after they had ponied up some cash. Pimp this ride baby! Eyes wide open as I pulled off the seemingly impossible, they all gladly put their Jackson's on the bar and I gleefully swept them all up. A feat that would be performed nightly; netting me about five hundred bucks for the week.

Here's a couple of pics from our dinner with Boo at Marley's that night; my girl Jen and I hugged him on 18 soon after the final putt...first time I was allowed on the final green with the winner...I've witnessed over twenty Heritage tourney's...first time under the ropes with the champ. Boo's Mom Patsy was with us all week at the restaurant and we walked with her most days for at least a few holes before heading back to ready ourselves for the evenings festivities.

Back to work this week at the photo office...our Liverpool tie with Chelsea was such a downer...John Arne Riise is on my shit list!
