Well, have you? Rumor has it the rest of the LPGA tour passed a hat around last week in order to collect enough money to pay Lorena Ochoa to finally take a week off. Just kidding of course, but one thing seems to be true: there’s Lorena then there’s everybody else.

That aside, welcome again to Hittin’ the Links, the best little column on the web with which you can quickly get caught up on all that’s golf. So, all you squanderers of company time sit back relax, and read on.

Happy Easter from Hittin’ the Links. I certainly hope most people enjoyed better weather than they had at Doral on Sunday. I know the members at Isleworth Country Club cannot be too happy with what has transpired, as it has cut into the playing of The Tavistock Cup. The official Tavistock Cup website has a press release stating there is a two and a half hour delay for the start of play. I guess you do anything to get Tiger there.

In this edition of HTL we check in on the ailing David Feherty, see where they plan to play the Byron Nelson, and investigate what golf balls and condoms have in common. Also hot off the web we have an 80-year old man with three holes-in-one in a single day, we take a look at Michelle Wie’s hurt wrist, listen to the PGA Tour rumor mill, and check out some of the best golf resorts money can buy.

Hello and good day to you from Hittin’ the Links. I fear I spoke of Spring too soon in last week’s column as Mother Nature dealt us a healthy dose of winter weather soon after. Either way those warmer temperatures get closer every day.

With the season just around the corner I have compiled a few links in this edition with a preseason feel to them. It’s not too late to start a spring ritual that will ultimately pay off by season’s end. Plus, many of us have that winter spare tire we could stand to lose.

In this edition of Hittin’ the Links we look at everything healthy, including The Titleist Performance Institute, see what you can do to get those clubs in proper order, and investigate a few other things that can be done to get ready for Spring. In addition, we check out grips on the PGA Tour, try and figure out what’s wrong with Arron Oberholser, spy on where Tiger will be practicing next season, see who is in trouble with the law, and check in on the tournament winners.
