\"HittingIt’s Monday and I know you’ve spend the weekend anticipating what journey through the golf world we will send you on as you settle back into your workweek. So kick back, grab a danish, and enjoy your mocha.<\/p>\n

This week we have schedule releases for both the PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour, a nomination for dumbest criminal of the year, and some guys named Phil and Tiger duke it out behind the Great Wall.
\n
\nHole 1: Phil Wins<\/strong>
\nPhil Mickelson wins the final WGC event of 2009 at the HSBC Champions by coming from behind to beat Ernie Els. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: Click, Click, Ring, Ring<\/strong>
\nThe cameras and cell phones were out in full force at the HSBC Champions. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: One and Done or More?<\/strong>
\nWas the incident with Doug Barron an isolated event or the beginnings of something bigger? [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 4: 2010 PGA Tour Season<\/strong>
\nThe PGA Tour has released the 2010 schedule. Cameron Morfit gives us his thoughts. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: Empty Dates<\/strong>
\nThe LPGA has a more than a few available spots on it’s 2010 calender. Gather up your buddies, put together a few bucks, and you could sponsor a tournament! [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 6: No Tinkering<\/strong>
\nFor the first time since it’s 2007 inception, the FedExCup points system will stay the same for the 2010 season. That will give me another year to try to figure it out. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: Peppered Out<\/strong>
\nAfter taking part in seemingly every event in 2009, Dottie Pepper has decided to leave behind the Golf Channel to focus solely on her NBC gig. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 8: For Men Only<\/strong>
\nThe Irish Supreme Court upholds men’s only golf clubs in Ireland. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 9: Prison Caddy<\/strong>
\nRob a bank and then go hit balls seems like an interesting way to waste a day. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
