\"Hittin' Hello and good day to you from Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. I fear I spoke of Spring too soon in last week’s column as Mother Nature dealt us a healthy dose of winter weather soon after. Either way those warmer temperatures get closer every day.<\/p>\n

With the season just around the corner I have compiled a few links in this edition with a preseason feel to them. It’s not too late to start a spring ritual that will ultimately pay off by season’s end. Plus, many of us have that winter spare tire we could stand to lose.<\/p>\n

In this edition of Hittin’ the Links<\/em> we look at everything healthy, including The Titleist Performance Institute, see what you can do to get those clubs in proper order, and investigate a few other things that can be done to get ready for Spring. In addition, we check out grips on the PGA Tour, try and figure out what’s wrong with Arron Oberholser, spy on where Tiger will be practicing next season, see who is in trouble with the law, and check in on the tournament winners.
\n
\nHole 1: Just Grip it and Rip It<\/strong>
\nA gallery of grips from the PGA Tour just reminds us it doesn’t have to be pretty it just has to work. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: Get in Shape for the New Season<\/strong>
\nNothing dashes the hopes of a successful golf season faster than an injury. Here is a good preseason workout to help wake up those old bones. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: Golf Club Tune-Up<\/strong>
\nGet those sticks out of the closet and give them some TLC. Here’s how. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 4: Titleist Performance Institute<\/strong>
\nThe Titleist Performance Institute is an online source to all you could want in the way of golf fitness and health. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: The Four Seasons of Golf<\/strong>
\nA good look at the different phases of the year and how you can work on your game even while the snow is still falling. Written for the junior golfer but valuable to anyone. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 6: Tiger’s New Practice Spot<\/strong>
\nWith Tiger’s address changing next year, a host of Jupiter Beach golf clubs are lining up to be his next practice facility. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: Arron Oberholser<\/strong>
\nArron Oberholser has battled his share of injuries while on tour but the latest is even baffling his doctors. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 8: Fowl Ball!<\/strong>
\nPGA Tour member Tripp Isenhour is in hot water after killing a bird with a golf ball. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 9: PODS Championship<\/strong>
\nSean O’Hair takes advantage of a Stewart Cink meltdown to win the PODS Championship. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
