Hello there golf fanatics, and welcome to the three hundred and thirteenth volume of Hittin' the Links. I can't help thinking that the Sponsors of the Wells Fargo Championship were a little disappointed with the play of some of the elite players in the field at Quail Hollow. With Tiger, Keegan Bradley, and Bill Haas missing the cut and Lefty and Lee Westwood making it on the number it was looking like possibly a rather dull weekend. Good thing for everyone that was certainly not the case as Quail Hollow ended up hosting what I think was some of the best weekend golf of the year. Congratulations to Rickie Fowler on his first PGA Tour win.

In this edition of HtL we begin by analyzing Tiger's media stunt, then check out a player doing it the hard way, and find out what has Ryan Moore so upset. Also on tap, we take a look at a very famous foursome, investigate a Bubba absence, and do a wrap-up of the week's events. Read on!

Welcome again golf fans to yet another edition of Hittin' the Links. It's been quite a month for Masters Champion Bubba Watson. First, he and his wife adopt a new baby boy, then he wins the Masters, goes on a media tour, tweets about 100,000 times, and he even finds some time to get home and change a few diapers. It's no wonder he showed up in New Orleans this week with bags under his eyes. He didn't play too bad either, aside from a wayward shot or two that found their way into his eagerly awaiting gallery of fans.

In this edition of HtL we begin with a look at PGA Tour Rookie John Huh, then turn our attention to a golf scientist of sorts, and then check out how Bubba "connects" with his fans. Also on tap, we see how some Tour players went old school, find out what the R&A has in store for this year's Open, and do a wrap-up of the week's events. Read on!

Hello out there fellow duffers, and welcome to another Hittin' the Links. Is it me or does the TPC San Antonio look like a complete nightmare of a golf course? I mean a bunker in the middle of a green, really? Greg Norman must have been having a bad year when he designed this atrocity. I guess that's why nobody we care to watch showed up to play this week and Tour players consistently rank it in the bottom of Tour courses.

In this edition of HtL we begin with a look at Sean Foley, then check out a record breaking 13 year-old. and find out who has Bieber fever. Also on tap, we investigate Kevin Na and a chainsaw, take a different look at Augusta National, and do a wrap-up of the week's winners. Read on!

Good day golf fans and welcome to yet another informative edition of Hittin' the Links. So Tiger returns to the winners circle; does this mean Rory and Luke better watch out?

Hello again golf fans and thanks for joining me for another hittin' the links. After all the excitement caused by McIlroy vs. Westwood, the final of the Accenture Match Play seemed somewhat anti-climactic.
