PGA golfer Boo Weekley was right at home last weekend.
Weekley, a resident of Jay, Fla., and a member of the Country Club of Brewton, was in Brewton this past weekend for his fifth annual Boo Weekly Camp Compass Scramble that was held Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the County Club of Brewton.
Weekley’s manager Toggy Pace said the scramble went well.
Pace said Weekley’s tournament is held at the CCB because Boo considers the course his home course and it is where he often plays and practices.
Weekley is playing well on the PGA tour this year, despite some struggles, Pace said.
