\"Hittin'Hello and welcome to another edition of Hittin the Links<\/em>. Has anyone out there seen Michelle Wie’s best interests? Because I’m fairly sure her advisors have lost sight of them. Just when you think they have finally got her going in the right direction, she shows up at another PGA Tour event. Well, let’s at least hope she remembers to sign her scorecards this time. Both of them.<\/p>\n

In this volume of HTL<\/em> we take a look at what everyone is saying about Michelle Wie’s next PGA Tour attempt, investigate why Andrew Giuliani got kicked off the Duke University golf team, and find out what Callaway and Halle Berry have in common. Also, we take a peek at the destination of the week, see why Chris Wood is going pro, and take note of this week’s tour winners.
