\"Hittin Welcome to Hittin’ the Links<\/em>! This week, we’ve got Olympic fever here at The Sand Trap<\/em>. We’ll take a look back at Justin Rose’s gold medal-winning effort in Rio, and preview next week’s Women’s Tournament. <\/p>\n

We’ll also laugh and cry with Bubba Watson, and check in on some of the action going on here in the U.S. All that, plus a quick look at Mizen’s newest set of irons. Let’s dive in!

Hole #2: Bubba’s Freak Duff<\/strong>
\nSomething that didn’t go down was the ball when Bubba Watson was on the green. He managed to hit a 35-foot birdie putt all of six feet, leading to an ugly bogey. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking of the Olympics, let’s dive into a preview of the women’s tournament, which starts this week. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #7: Mizuno Reveals Latest Irons<\/strong>
\nIf there’s one thing that Mizuno does exceptionally well, it’s making awesome forged irons that anyone can play. Check out their newest JPX-900 series sets. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole #8: Robert Allenby Charged with Disorderly Conduct, Criminal Trespassing<\/strong>
\nAfter missing the cut at the John Deere Classic, Robert Allenby was arrested outside a casino in Illinois. It’s not the first time Allenby has had brushes with the law. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n
