Hittin’ the Links<\/em> is back again this week with another round of point and click golf. I know that you’re probably chomping at the bit for the PGA Championship to get here, but for now, sit back, relax, and get your weekly dose of links!
\n
\nHole 1: Tiger Woods is a Baseball God<\/strong>
\nNot only is this Nike commercial a classic in itself, but I’m still amazed at the distance Tiger gets when he connects his wedge to the golf ball in true baseball form. This also happened to be the commercial that made bouncing a ball on the sand wedge fun again. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: Has Phil Mickelson Ever Changed His Golf Swing?<\/strong>
\nI ponder this question on a daily basis while hitting golf balls, and for those of you who need Ben Hogan or Arnold Palmer’s golf swing at a moments notice – well then this website is for you! The site has archived every great golf swing imaginable from the PGA and LPGA. Try looking at Phil’s swing from 1997 compared to today’s swing. Chances are good you’ll see a big difference. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: Will Tiger Ever Have 25 Majors and 100 PGA Tour Victories?<\/strong>
\nThe question is worth asking yourself if you’re a golf fan. While many might say 100 victories is out of the question, others might agree that those two numbers aren’t that hard to reach for a guy that has 50 tour wins and 11 major championships under his belt at the age of 30. [Link<\/a>] <\/p>\n

Hole 4: What’s in the Bag?<\/strong>
\nEver wonder what Tiger Woods carries around in his bag during a regular golf week? Well Golf Digest does a great job at taking a peek into a golfer’s bag and getting the scoop on everything from the clubs to personal items. This week’s golfer is Arron Oberholser. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: Buy Some Adidas Stock <\/strong>
\nAdidas is reporting that a recent strong quarter rise of 24 percent by the sports giant is due in large part to their TaylorMade golf brand. I don’t know about you, but now might be the time to invest some cash in the company that has such booming golf products as the r7 driver and Tour 360 Golf Shoe. [Link<\/a>] <\/p>\n

Hole 6: Darren Clarke’s Wife Heather Dies of Cancer<\/strong>
\nNot much to say here other than that we send out condolences to the whole Clarke family for their terrible loss. In case you wonder where Clarke is during the PGA next week, now you know. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: PGA Championship Will be Fan-friendly<\/strong>
\nPeople heading to the PGA Championship in Chicago should find this article to be pretty interesting. The PGA Championship is trying to get the fans interested in golf by offering free admission to the course Monday-Wednesday, as well as offering Callaway HX balls to the first 5,000 fans through the gates. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 8: Ryder Cup Watch 2006<\/strong>
\nAny golf fan knows that it’s never too early to get geeked about the Ryder Cup. With that in mind, the Ryder Cup website gives a weekly analysis on who might be on the team, and who is going to be left on the outside looking in. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 9: Medinah Country Club<\/strong>
\nUnless you’ve been living under a rock, you have to know that PGA Championship is being played this week at Medinah Country Club. The course website is a great way to get acquainted with the course and its incredible history. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
