Welcome to Hittin’ the Links, a new weekly column that summarizes our favorite links of the past week or so that may not have been big enough to warrant a full story. We scour the wires, blogs, websites, and articles to give you our favorite links, most of which will be golf-related and not all of which will include pictures of Amy Mickelson. To each link, I add some personal flavor (that sounds kinda funny coming after that Amy Mickelson joke, does’t it?).
Without further ado (or embarrassing myself), here are this week’s links…
Tim Herron has a Face Made for Radio
“The PGA Tour and XM Satellite Radio announce long-term broadcasting and marketing agreement”… And you thought watching golf was boring? The best thing about watching golf on TV is muting Johnny Miller. [link, TST]
3-1 Odds says Paddy has been Drinking since March 13
“Harrington earns first PGA win at Honda”. After too many Irish carbombs and pints of Guinness, I have one of those four-day hangovers. The ones where your heartbeat is thumping in your neck. With my Guinness hangover is still lurking (St. Patty’s day was fun!), I’d like to congratulate Padraig on his victory over Vijay Singh. Harrington had the luck of the Irish (man, I’m witty), as Vijay missed a 2 1/2 putt gift wrap the win. [link, TST]
Tiger, World Number 1…in Shuffleboard.
This doesn’t shock me. Would you play forever if you had Elin and millions of dollars? Me either. [link]
A Magazine Dedicated to Ian Poulter and His Pants
Issue 7 of GolfPunk has hit the stands. These blokes are bloody wonderful, and I highly recommend picking up a subscription to their magazine – even though it’ll cost ya. The mag is focused on these young punks who are taking over the game. [link]
Insert Joke about the ‘Beer Man Delivering’
I’m only including this link to show all of the different ways traditional journalists have made a funny using the works Beer Man for Mark Johnson’s Champions Tour win. [link]
That wraps up our first volume of “Hittin’ the Links”. Hopefully, we’ve given you a fun first ride. Please let us know what you think and pass on any links you would like us to consider for HtL.
I need to start working on Volume 2. This takes effort, you know!
