His Southern accent will fit right in at Augusta, but Boo Weekley's down-home attitude may still be a bit too different for that tight-collared crew that call themselves the guardians of the Masters.

But ready or not, boys in the green jackets, Boo's coming, on your invitation.

A great 2007 for Boo got even better recently when Weekley received his invitation to the 2008 Masters, making him one of the elite field of 90-95 golfers who will tee it up for the first major of the golf season.

In addition to becoming a beloved cult figure, Weekley had a super season on the course: he won the MCI Heritage in dramatic fashion, ended up 23rd on the PGA Tour money list, and teamed up with his old high-school mate Heath Slocum in representing the United States in the World Cup in China.

Weekley opened some eyes early on the Tour by turning up for practice rounds in camouflage pants, and sometimes wore an undershirt beneath his golf shirt which made him look as if his arms were heavily tattooed.

We think Boo is going to do just fine at Augusta ... and in 2008 as a whole. But leave the tattoo shirt behind at Augusta, Boo - not because of the snobs in charge of running the tournament, but because, let's face it, it's a damn ugly shirt.
