Former Milton (FL) H.S. Golfer Misses Putt On 18th Hole for Second Week In A Row

This time it was Heath Slocum.

Last week it was Boo Weekly. BTW - Boo doesn’t even have a photo available on the PGA Tour’s website. Shame on them.

The former teammates at Milton (FL) High School had chances to win (Boo) and get in a playoff (Heath) in successive weeks and missed putts of 3 feet or less.

And lest you think I’m bashing them, I’d l-o-v-e to have been in their positions both times … even if I’d missed the putts like they did.

On the PGA Tour, second pays well.

Congrats to Heath and Boo from a former resident of Pensacola Beach (FL), where I loved living as much or more than anywhere I’ve ever been.

EDIT 3/18/07 - Here’s a link to this same line of stories over at the New York Times. It also mentions that our boy Bubba Watson is also a former Milton High School golfer.
