Hello again golf fans and welcome to another edition of Hittin’ the Links. So what do you think Tiger had to do to get Lindsey Vonn’s parents to come out publicly and give him the thumbs up? Expensive dinner perhaps, extravagant gifts, maybe he just wrote them a blank check? Anywho, you just can’t seem to look anywhere at the supermarket checkout line and not see a picture of the two of them smiling ear to ear. Personally, I hope them the best, all we can hope for in this life is to be happy and they seem to be enjoying each others company, a lot!
In this edition of HtL, we check out Tigers newest approval, then look into Greg Norman’s thoughts on drug testing, and take a peek at the three-legged beast of the Zurich Classic. Also, we peruse a recent golf memorabilia auction, find out what Jack thinks about balance, and do a wrap-up of the week’s events. Read on!
