\"Hittin'Hello out there golf fans and welcome to another edition of Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. The weather might have been the winner this weekend at The Players. That was one first class rain storm on Saturday. Congratulations has to go out to K.J. Choi. He has been right there several times this year, its good to see him finally break through.<\/p>\n

In this newest edition of HTL<\/em> we begin with an accusation against Tim Finchem, then test our Players trivia, and find out how one of the older guys passed the time during the rain delay. Also, we investigate the bouncing driver accident, find out why Ian Poulter did the 300 yard dash, and do a wrap-up of the week’s events. Read on!
