\"Hittin'Good Day Sand Trap<\/em>pers and welcome to another installment of Hittin’ the Links<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So, Tiger is going to miss the Tour Championship… what will golf do? Well, relax people, golf will be fine. I have no doubt after a little swing tweaking with the new coach Tiger will be back as good as ever, maybe even in time for the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

In this newest edition of HTL<\/em> we begin with a look at the Tour’s most fan friendly players, check into Tiger’s newest swing overhaul, and watch Will Ferrell imitate Phil Mickelson. Also on tap, we investigate why Monty is delighted to face Tiger, make some date suggestions for Tiger during the Ryder Cup, and do a wrap-up of some of the weeks events. Read on!
