Typically during my Picks & Predictions post each week, I pick four players in which I think have a great chance to win. To be honest, most of my choices are just a random pick. I do actually look over the field for the week and use a few stats here and there and I do take in to account how hot the player has been playing recently. But mostly, I might-as-well just put all the names in a hat and draw from there. I would probably have a better chance at picking the winner like that. … [Read more...]
Didn’t I Tell You So…
Two days ago I wrote about a little pick-em game my friends and I play for all the golf major championships. Now I know it's early, but didn't I tell you... One of my picks, Rory McIlroy is leading the tournament with a sweet little 63 shot on the first day of The Open Championship. Not far behind is Tiger Woods, another one of my picks.

My Open Championship Picks
For about two years now, my buddies from work and I have gotten a little pool together for the four major championships each year in golf. How it works is we pick four players for the week.

In the Gary Player bracket I have Geoff Ogilvy and finally in the Sam Snead bracket I have Stewart Cink still alive. Huh.. Maybe I am still doing alright. I still have three of the four still remaining in the … [Read more...]
And The Winner Is…
The WGC Accenture Match Play Championship tees off tomorrow, and I am picking Tiger Woods to take it all... Oh wait, Tiger is still getting his life together. I will take Phil Mickelson... Oh wait, Phil is taking a vacation with his kids. So the two most popular players are not playing this week. So why watch right? WRONG!! There are still some very intriguing match ups and it should be an exciting weekend. Who do I pick to win it? Well I thought you'd never ask. Coming out of the … [Read more...]
