\"Hittin'It was an off week for the FedExCup playoffs, but that doesn’t mean that there weren’t interesting golf stories to follow. <\/p>\n

The LPGA held the final major of the year on Lake Geneva in France on one of the most gorgeous courses of the year, even when it’s playing barely 6,000 yards.<\/p>\n

At Royal Lytham and St. Anne’s, the Walker Cup pitted the best amateurs from the U.S. against those from Great Britain and Ireland. <\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more! Let’s hit the links.
