\"Hittin'Hello again and welcome to this week’s, Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. Another week has started and with it another Major Championship. The best players in the world, minus one, have gathered in Britain this week to vie for the Claret Jug and HTL<\/em> is here to give you links to the important sites.<\/p>\n

Also in the volume, we look at the Nationwide Tour and its richest tournament ever, see who took home the biggest chunk of that purse, and investigate why Colin Montgomerie is so darn grumpy. In addition, we see who besides Tiger is taking this week off, check in on the new World Golf Hall of Fame inductees, take a peek at Mickelson’s house for sale, and find out who won this week at the John Deere Classic. Read On!
