Hello golf fans, welcome again to Hittin’ the Links. Some interesting goings on around the world of golf this week. Some caddy borrowing, some rumors of careers being over, and a long awaited winner to name a few.
In this edition of HtL we begin with a look at Presidential Golf, check out an unlikely U.S. Open qualifier, and find out why Charl Schwartzel is still rather unknown. Also, we investigate who Stevie is caddying for, take a peek at some questions posed to G-Mac, and do a wrap-up of the weeks events. Read on!
