Hello again golf fans and welcome to Hittin’ the Links. It was quite a weekend for the golf fan, plenty to see and listen to, and some of it actually included hitting golf balls.
In this edition of HTL we start off looking again at the Tiger Situation, the speech, the circus that was Sawgrass, and Stevie’s warning. Then we turn our attention to drunk cart driving, find out who the Dalai Lama has never heard of, and do a wrap-up of the week’s events. Read on! Hole 1: In Case You Live Under a Rock!

I think we hear far too much from Steve Williams. I really hope people don’t “heckle” Woods when he returns, but I’m also sure he’ll encounter the odd moron or two for at least a while. What’s Williams really going to do? C’mon.
