\"Hittin'Good day ladies and gentlemen and welcome again to The Sand Trap<\/em> and Hittin’ the Links<\/em>. Has anyone seen Tiger’s swing? I’m pretty sure he’s looking for it. ::rimshot:: Maybe it’s off hiding somewhere with Alex Cejka’s game. Hopefully both are reunited with their proper owners soon.<\/p>\n

In this newest edition of HTL<\/em> we look into what’s got David Feherty in hot water, take a peek at John Daly’s latest fashion and finish, and investigate what’s wrong with Sergio. Also on tap, we find out what’s going on with The Skins Game, check out what’s happening at Titleist, and do a review of this week’s winners on tour. Read on!

\nEven golf ball giant Titleist is feeling the economic pinch, having to lay off 23% of their Massachusetts work force. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 6: What Was That You Said?<\/strong>
\nAmong other things golf has its own dialect oft misunderstood by those outside the ropes. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: He’ll Be Back<\/strong>
\nTiger Woods vowes to repair his swing and be ready to go by the Memorial. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n
