\"Hittin'Hello, and welcome again to Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. Well Sandtrappers, I think its safe to say, Tiger Woods is still good. How about that last putt? Anyone else have a sense of déja vü? If nothing else it definitely sets the stage for the Masters.<\/p>\n

In this latest edition of HTL<\/em> we look at why Tiger’s non-political stance is not a bad thing, take a peek at his new international playing schedule, and investigate John Daly’s recent lawsuit. Also, we find out what the PGA Tour wants to do to the caddies, meet the pro who turned amateur to make it to Augusta, and do a wrap-up of the PGA events of the week. Read on!
