Good day and welcome to another volume of Hittin’ the Links. Unlike Tiger at the AT&T National I am back on the job hosting you in your search of the best golf articles on the world wide web. Just kidding, poor Tiger, but Fred Couples did a great job standing in. I mean who else but Freddie wouldn’t be a disappointment in Tigers absence.
In this one hundred and fifty first volume of HTL we look at Tiger’s return, see what the Tigerless Ryder Cup team is looking like, investigate congressional’s “stupid holes,” and find out who got the first tap on the shoulder in the PGA Tour’s quest to rid the sport of illegal drugs. Also, we take a peek at Anthony Kim, this week’s PGA Tour Winner, examine what New Mexico has to offer the vacationing golfer, and delve into what happened to nearly 400 U.S. Open tickets that were given to San Diego city officials.
