\"HittingNow that we all have our stomachs full, we look forward to the Christmas holiday and all those fun free money events. Will Tiger come out of hibernation? Will Phil put down the drumstick long enough to to pick up a sand wedge? Read on.<\/p>\n

In this edition of Hittin’ the Links<\/em> we contemplate the European tour’s attempt at equaling their American counterpart, Q-School, tournament hosts, and the Skins Game. On the lighter side we investigate duck damage, sassy South Koreans, and Ian Poulter’s clothing line.
\n
\nHole 1: The World’s Richest Event<\/strong>
\nThe European Tour announces it will stage the world’s richest event, but you’ll have to wait until 2009. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: PGA Tour Q-School Update<\/strong>
\nThe PGA Tour Q-School is on to its final stage with both new faces and some old warriors making a run for their cards. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: Q-School Second Stage Results<\/strong>
\nFor those of us that like to keep track of someone in their quest for their card, here are the results from the second stages of Q-School. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 4: What’s Up Duck?!<\/strong>
\nAn Australian golf club is at war with the ducks and the duck lovers. Does anyone else think this sounds like a Bugs Bunny cartoon? [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: Couldn’t He Have Just Asked to Play Through?<\/strong>
\nA South Korean man is facing deportation because of a golf course squabble over slow play. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 6: Ian Poulter’s Clothing Line<\/strong>
\nIf khakis and striped golf shirts just don’t do it for you, your in luck. Now everyone can look like they got dressed in the dark! [ Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: Wayne Gretzky to Host Nationwide Tournament<\/strong>
\nWhile it’s great for the Nationwide Tour, why are Justin Timberlake and George Lopez hosting PGA Tour events yet the Great One is still in the minor leagues? . Link<\/a><\/p>\n

Hole 8: The Skins Game<\/strong>
\nStephen Ames sinks a clutch putt on the 18th hole to win the 2007 LG Skins game. Link<\/a><\/p>\n

Hole 9: The World Cup<\/strong>
\nAfter a valliant effort by the Americans the Scots win in a playoff in China. Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
