He's a great talent, he loves golf, and he's a son of the South. I've been to England and Scotland too and while the golf was fun, it sure felt good to get home and enjoy some grits and drive again.MGilreathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967154425751415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26512727.post-46290603513666418092010-01-13T12:41:39.924-05:002010-01-13T12:41:39.924-05:00awesome post. enjoyed the interview alotawesome post. enjoyed the interview alotSamsonhttp://www.ashergolf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26512727.post-50226998230095993392007-09-12T14:12:00.000-04:002007-09-12T14:12:00.000-04:00The man must go to an English coach and learn prop...<I>The man must go to an English coach and learn proper English...</I><BR/><BR/>I'm Black and I would like to propose the same thing for all Black athletes.

He is not on the tour for his English speaking talent.<BR/><BR/>What I like about him is that he is a blue-collar Southerner and sees nothing wrong with it even though others may object.

The man must go to an English coach and learn proper English... I have lived in the South for many years and I was appalled when I read his "quoted" interview in our local Southern sports page... I should hope that the golfing public, both in the States and abroad... don't think that that all of us in the South speak as poorly as Boo.. <BR/><BR/>With success comes polish, lets hope that both come to Boo in the future...

I'm southern and I don't like grits, buttermilk, and I never cared for sweet tea [although I add sugar & lemon] ~ but I'd never consider it an insult to read about Southerners liking that. My family [4 sets of grandparents] date back to the 1600's in the South [all arrived in Baltimore & moved to Virginia]. I love Southernisms and the author, a Southern Jew who moved to MA, sound like my kind of guy. Keep it up. <BR/>P.S.

My family moved to Kentucky and Georgia in the late 1700s and pre-sweetened tea was never a tradition in our household. We had iced tea with lemon and you could add sugar if you wanted to but it was never as ridiculously syrupy sweet as described in this article. I now live in Seattle and here all of the stereotypes that arise from inaccurate arcticles like this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26512727.post-35508735384731650552007-08-11T11:05:00.000-04:002007-08-11T11:05:00.000-04:00Boo is a down to earth person who does not go in f...Boo is a down to earth person who does not go in for fanfare. He does not mean to offend anyone. He is actually very refreshing to see and listen to in the world of sports because he's not a phoney; he gets done what he needs to and doesn't pat himself on the back and expect accolades from people. Some of the larger than life, obnoxious sports figures out there should take lessons from him.Frasierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719801034973768995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26512727.post-36739415261552510962007-07-23T10:28:00.000-04:002007-07-23T10:28:00.000-04:00makes John Daly sound like Stephen Hawkings....Mik...makes John Daly sound like Stephen Hawkings....Mike of Port RichmondAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
