Get ready, the 2008 European Tour season starts on November 8th!
After a one-week break, Hittin’ the Links is back for your work-avoiding pleasure. So grab a cup of coffee and a donut and enjoy this week’s installment.
This time around, we have several links from the Children’s Miracle Network Classic presented by Wal-Mart, Justin Rose winning the European Order of Merit, and Natalie Gulbis ditching the bikini.
Just way too many Fry’s tournaments to keep track of.
Mike Weir has played some good golf of late and that continues as he wins for the first time since 2004 at the Fry’s Electronics Open. And I tip my hat to the participants in the Kabul Desert Classic. Playing there take some serious guts.
This week, we have several links from the Fry’s Electronics Open, The First Tee celebrates a birthday, and sometimes missing a cut can be a life saver.
The Donald is having a bit of a bird problem.
Lorena Ochoa continues her domination of the LPGA Tour as she wins the Samsung Championship for her seventh victory of the year. She also takes Player of the Year honors for the second year in a row.
This week, we have several links from the Frys.com Open, Lorena Ochoa’s seventh win of the year, and a story about John Daly’s balls. Golf balls, that is.
Annika takes the high road.
Playoffs weren’t just happening in baseball this week as both the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour needed some extra time to give us winners in the Valero Texas Open and Longs Drug Challenge.
This week, we have several links from the Valero Texas Open, Annika turns down an invite, and Payne Stewart’s son is making a name for himself.
Who knew Woody Austin was such a comedian?
The American team won the Presidents Cup by playing flawless in the team matches and strong play from top point-getter David Toms and an undefeated Scott Verplank as well as having some fun with some lake diving from Woody Austin.
This week, we have several links from the Presidents Cup, Jack wants to captain the Ryder Cup team, and if you’re not eligible to get into a tournament, just change the rules.
Well let’s see, there’s the Walker Cup, the Solheim Cup, the PGA Cup…
Even with the race for the coveted FedExCup over, there is still plenty of golf yet to be played with PGA Tour players trying to stay employed on the main circuit and, oh yeah, this little event call The Presidents Cup.
This week, we have several links from the PGA Tour’s Fall Season, the upcoming Presidents Cup, and back-to-back shots you won’t believe.
Tiger made East Lake look like Uncle Al’s Pitch and Putt.
After taking a bit of heat for not watching golf last weekend (the horror!), I sat down and watched Zack Johnson throw up a 60 on Saturday and Tiger Woods giving the rest of the field a beat-down with an eight-stroke victory at the Tour Championship to claim the inaugural FedExCup.
This week, we have several links from the Tour Championship, “choking dogs,” and a golf score that is simply ridiculous.
Sorry Tim Finchem, I watched football all weekend instead of your beloved Fed Ex Cup Playoffs.
Tiger Woods put on an amazing display of golf over the weekend to win the BMW Championship and the United States squeaked out a one-point victory over Great Britain and Ireland in the Walker Cup. Of course, I saw almost none of it as college football and the NFL held my TV hostage over the weekend.
This week, we have several links from the BMW Championship, some historic golf clubs, and a golf equipment company on the auction block.
No Tiger? No problem as there was plenty of excitement to go around at the Barclays over the weekend.
The FedExCup started out in dramatic fashion as Steve Stricker, K.J. Choi, and a host of others battled it out at the Barclays Classic with Stricker gaining his first victory in six years. Also, I’m beginning to sound like a broken record as Lorena Ochoa wins yet again on the LPGA Tour at the Safeway Classic.
This week, we have several links from a long overdue winner, an earlier version of the hottest swing theory, and a pretty distinguished golf clinic.
