Hello and welcome again to Hittin’ the Links. It’s almost time for a long winter nap, but HTL has one last hurrah before vacation time.
In this final column of 2009 we start off with some Tiger news, then turn our attention to Colin Montgomerie’s driving record, and find out about Doug Barron’s appeal. Also on tap, we look at the LPGA Q-School, see how the PGA Tour Q-School is going, and do a wrap-up of the week’s silly season events. Read on!
