Happy Memorial Day Sand Trappers, and welcome again to Hittin' the Links. We have to start this week's column off with a big thank you to all our men and women in the Armed Forces, we really appreciate everything you do for our great country.
In this edition of HTL we begin by finding out what Jack thinks about Tiger's major chances, then take a look at the mile high effect, and find out 12 reasons why golf is the greatest. Also, we see who is retiring at the Memorial, investigate two Kiwis playing a lot of golf, and do a wrap-up of the week's events. Read on!
I've got a really tough call to make - do I play it safe, or do I pull out the 5 wood and try to carve one into a green surrounded on three sides by water? If I pull it off, I'll have the equivalent of an eagle putt. If I don't, I'm not just digging for another ball… I'm sleeping on the couch.

One of those auditors is played by an actor named Adam Scott, who is of no apparent relation to the most recent winner on the PGA Tour.
