Tiger is back! Tiger is back! Hey Sand Trappers, in case you haven’t heard yet, Tiger Woods is again playing golf professionally. Jeez, next to the inauguration this news has to be the biggest story of the year. We do love our Tiger Woods, and here at Hittin’ the Links I am no different. I mean I am as happy as anyone to see Eldrick again, but there are other things going on in the golf world.
Speaking of other things, HTL is again on the job bringing you the best golf stories from around the world. In this volume, we first get Tiger’s return out of our systems, then we turn our attention to an amateur champion at the Johnnie Walker Classic, and check out some golf fashion. Also, we see how Mickelson did at Riviera, look into Freddy’s sad week, and do a recap of the rest of the events around golf. Read on!

I clicked through to the college golf rankings and was hoping to find some coverage rather than statistical rankings. Do you know who covers college golf on a regular basis? Even just a ‘week-in-review’ would be very interesting.
That link is to golfweek which IMO has the best coverage of college golf. While there is no “Week in review” they have many stories on college golf. You will have to navigate around somewhat to find them but they are there.
