Can You Predict a Winner in Golf?
Today will be a two post day! The first is to let you know that I want to host your predictions on my golf blog. Later today, after work, I am going to ‘go live’ with this new page.
The intent is to generate some conversation and maybe a bit of good old golfing fun for all those golfing pundits out there! All you need to do is give your choices via:
- email – thegratefulgolfer@hotmail.ca
- Comment on this Blog
- send me the link to your blog
I will post your choices for The Masters, The Open, US Open and PGA Championship and link to your site or tweet if you want. The plan is for everyone to make their choices for all four Majors before the first tee off at The Masters!
At the end, someone will wear the crown as the greatest pundit of all time! Or at least within The Grateful Golfer Community!

2016 Golf Majors Predictions
This is how I feel predicting Major champions!
2016 is an exciting year for golf. Many of the new young players and all the seasoned veterans are ready for golf’s biggest tournaments. Golf’s major championships are just around the corner and, as seen in previous years, players are setting their schedules to peak at the right time. Given the rise and fall of players in the top 10 of the world rankings, it is anyone’s guess who will win golf’s most prestigious events this year.
All professional golfers covet the four Majors: The Masters, US Open, The Open, and PGA Championship. Each unique tournament tests the skill and tenacity of every player. This year proves to be no different. In 1930, Bobby Jones became the only player in modern golf to win all four tournaments in one year. Several other players have come close, but none have achieved this great feat. Given the skill of today’s players, this amazing accomplishment will likely not happen this year either, but everyone keeps waiting and hoping for another grand slam in golf!

Professional Golf Winners
I am calling it early! Congratulations to Jason Day on his first Major! His win at the PGA Championship solidifies that day is an élite player and a force that cannot be ignored! His play was rock solid and the fact he was chased by Jordan Spieth only solidifies his place in history. Congratulations Jason.
Additionally, congratulations to Brooke M. Henderson. The young Canadian phenom who crushed the field at the Cambia Portland Classic, Portland, Oregon. At 17 years of age, this win will all but ensure Henderson will earn her card for the LPGA tour in 2016. Congratulations Brooke!
The future of golf is bright! The multitude of young players on both tours is amazing. Golf is entering into a new era that will see players dominate, but only for a short time! The feeder tours are growing in strength and the road to the big leagues is challenging and exciting! If you have not had the opportunity to watch these mini tours, I suggest it is worth your while to make a day of it.
Congratulations to Jason Day and Brooke M. Henderson on their wins this weekend!
