We could take some time off from watching football and basketball this weekend.
It really won't hurt us. Besides, the tour golfers can read, write, speak standard English. They even manage to stay out of jail.
Who deserves more of our time and attention?
I've been working away, keeping half an eye on Golf Channel's broadcast of the European Tour event from Dubai.
Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood were paired up, and they had one of those great rounds where they fed off one another, sort of like NASCAR drivers drafting one another around the track at Daytona. They spent the day splitting the fairways, and pouring in the putts. It was as good a round of golf as I've seen in years.
McIlroy, at age 20, is just sensational, and with those boyish good looks and charm, will soon become a star.
Westwood scrambled out of deep trouble a couple of times, sort of England's answer to Phil Mickleson without the space-cadet dimension...
Westwood ended the day at -6, McIlroy at -4.
Here's hoping they keep it up. We all could use some inspiration.
