Happy Spring and welcome to another week of Hittin’ the Links where we are tracking down some entertaining stories pertaining to all-things golf.
This week we have a PGA Tour rookie getting his first win, John Smoltz makes his Nationwide debut, a battle of dueling houses, and the end of golf in Europe (okay, a big over-dramatic on my end.) So grab a latte and a scone and huddle around your computer for another week of stories from around the world of golf.
