Good day and welcome again to Hittin’ the Links. Let me start off this week by saying Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Where would we all be without mom? Hopefully, all the mothers had a nice day.
Now, back to golf. HTL has again perused the Internet for all that’s interesting in the world wide golf web. This week we start off with a look at golf destination Baghdad, check the PGA Tour power rankings, and test our rules knowledge at the USGA website. In addition, we see what Johnny Miller had to say about Tiger, do a Michelle Wie update, take note of this week’s Tour winners, and finally we send our condolences to Jeff Maggert and his family for their loss. Read on.
