\"Hittin'Hello golf fans, welcome to yet another informative edition of Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. So I hope everyone got to say goodbye to Doral as we know it. Donald Trump plans to “blow it up” starting immediately after this weekend’s event. What we will get when he’s done with the Blue Monster is anyone’s guess.<\/p>\n

In this week’s volume of HtL<\/em> we start out with a look at the Great White Shark in China, then investigate the Donald’s plans for Doral, and check out a battle over a Green Jacket. Also on tap we check out how college golf is going, find out about Steve Stricker’s new career, and do a wrap-up of the week’s events. Read on!
