Danny is enjoying his vacation so I’ll be your tour guide here at Hittin’ the Links for the next couple of weeks. I’ll try to keep our foursome moving quickly along as we peruse various interesting (hopefully), humorous, and odd stories from around the world of golf.
This week we have multiple PGA events for the fellas, a couple aces, the passing of a legend, and Doral celebrates the big 5-0. So put down your NCAA bracket, grab your favorite beverage and let’s take a look at what’s making Graeme McDowell giggle.
