\"HittingDanny is enjoying his vacation so I’ll be your tour guide here at Hittin’ the Links<\/em> for the next couple of weeks. I’ll try to keep our foursome moving quickly along as we peruse various interesting (hopefully), humorous, and odd stories from around the world of golf.<\/p>\n

This week we have multiple PGA events for the fellas, a couple aces, the passing of a legend, and Doral celebrates the big 5-0. So put down your NCAA bracket, grab your favorite beverage and let’s take a look at what’s making Graeme McDowell giggle.
\n
\nHole 1: Watney Wins<\/strong>
\nNick Watney comes from two shots down to beat Dustin Johnson at the Cadillac Championship at Doral. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: Semicentennial at Doral<\/strong>
\nThe PGA Tour has held an event at Doral for 50 years and only trails the Masters and the Colonial as longest Tour stop. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: Bradley Wins<\/strong>
\nMichael Bradley wishes every event was in Puerto Rico as he’s won two of the last three years at the PGA Tour event down there. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 4: Slow Crane<\/strong>
\nBen Crane addresses his slow play in his latest video installment. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: Slow Play Part 175<\/strong>

Hole 6: Couple Aces<\/strong>
\nJoe and Karen Wilken will always remember this round for the rest of their lives. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: Coach Wars<\/strong>
\nTiger’s former coach and current coach get chippy. Jeff Rude officiates. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 8: Giggling at Tiger<\/strong>
\nGraeme McDowell shared some humor over some of Tiger’s lesser drives last weekend. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 9: TV Pioneer<\/strong>
\nFrank Chirkinian, who pioneered golf on TV passed away at the age of 84. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
