Volume Two Hundred Ninety Nine

Elin’s out with the old, Hank Haney is coming out with Tiger’s tales, and Paul Casey is just plain out.

Hittin' the LinksHello again Sand Trap faithfuls and welcome to yet another Hittin the Links! It’s been two months since my last installment. Call it a needed hiatus, call it a mini leave of absence, either way I recharged my batteries, spent some quality time with the family, and now I am ready to go with all that is interesting in the golf world!

In this first 2012 edition of HtL we begin with a look at a certified golf nut, find out what Tiger’s ex-wife is up to, and investigate what is sidelining Paul Casey and Lucas Glover. Also on tap, we check out what Tim Finchem thinks about the Tour, peruse the upcoming book by Hank Haney, and see who will be sharing some broadcast booth time. Read on!
