Good day golf fans and welcome to yet another edition of Hittin’ the Links. I have one thing to say about the Open Championship, I am glad I didn’t have to play in that weather. Wow, makes me glad I live in a desert. Congratulations to Darren Clarke, if an American didn’t win, I am glad he did. Had I’d known, I would have bought some stock in Guinness, though.
In this volume of HtL we begin with Rory McIlroy’s wish, see what Hank Haney said about Tiger, and look into DJ’s latest major championship blunder. Also on tap, we check out Angel’s unusual stretching routine, investigate a million dollar hole-in-one, and do a wrap-up of the weeks events. Read on!
There’s little mystique to Royal St. George’s, and even less love for the English venue. It’s not the birthplace of golf like St. Andrew’s or an impossibly difficult test like Carnoustie. When a course crowns so unheralded a champ as 2003’s Open winner Ben Curtis, somehow the host bears the brunt of the criticism.
Eidolon, whose V-SOLE wedges have been covered here at Bag Drop, just introduced an entirely new brand (named SCOR) along with that brand’s initial product offering in the form of the SCOR4161.
When you think of golf in Scotland, you might think of the great courses, the unpredictable weather, or the rich history of the game, and yet there is an integral part you may overlook and that is the importance of the role of caddies. 
We’re halfway through the 2011 major championship golf season, and already it’s proving to be a good one. Even though Tiger Woods was at home on the couch, Rory McIlroy gave us one of the most thrilling weeks of golf in history. Bouncing back from what had been a painful pedigree in past majors, Rory steamrolled the field on Thursday and Friday, and kept up a steady pace over the weekend en route to a eight-stroke victory. This time around there were no meltdowns, no final-round charges, and no broomsticks (though Robert Garrigus did finish T3 with a putter half the size of Adam Scott’s), but what we did get was four great days of golf on a rain-soaked course that became vulnerable to low scores. In many respects, this year’s U.S. Open was about as different from the Masters as possible, but equally as impressive.
