Well it is that time of year again. With just 28 days until the first Major, it is time for all you ‘Amazing Kreskins’ to make your winning picks. This year’s competition will be a bit different that last year. Instead to trying to track everyone down through the year, I am asking you to make your four selections before the games even start.
You can check out last years picks, until the first ballet is in, by everyone by just clicking on the Predictions heading on the main menu bar above.
Rory McIlroy is one of the young lions in golf. He has all the tools to be one of the best players every, however I am not convinced he is ready or even wants to stay at the top of the golfing world all the time. Unlike Tiger Woods, Rory’s burning desire to be the best, all the time, ebbs and flows.
Before you start yelling at your computer and writing a blazing retort, read a bit further to see where I am heading. Continue reading
Well it is that time of year again. With just 34 days until the first Major, it is time for all you ‘Amazing Kreskins’ to make your winning picks.

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:
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!
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
This is how I feel predicting Major champions!

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!
