One of my guilty pleasures is golf on TV. There's nothing better after a rough Friday or Saturday night than golf. Think about it: everyone's nice and quiet, the settings are beautiful and the vibe is peaceful. Also, I love the mental game of major tournaments. It's fascinating to watch golfers collapse under the pressure. I admire Tiger Woods because he was immune to it, but honestly, he kind of took the fun out of watching the Masters or US Open for awhile.

Anyway, I read a great little golf article in USA Today this morning. Rory Sabbatini, a South African, has worn camouflage pants in some tourneys this year:

Sabbatini didn't intend to cause a clothing controversy when he donned a pair of camouflage trousers two weeks ago at the FBR Open in Phoenix. A South African who lives in Southlake, Texas, he wanted to show how passionate he and wife Amy were about the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which benefits families of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The PGA didn't want him wearing camo, but they're going to work with him to find some golf-appropriate way to show his support. In addition, Sabbatini is going to donate $250 to the fund for every birdie he hits this year and $1,000 for every eagle. Based on last year's results, that would add up to about $75,000 for the fund. To me, that's just an amazing amount from a golfer I've never even heard of before.

Now, in addition to peace, quiet and mental anguish, I have a great person to root for on the weekends.
