THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PICKING GOLF WINNERS
1. CLOSER with CHARACTER. Certain guys see the finish line and cross it and others are destined for second place.
2. RELAXED CONFIDENCE, FOCUS and a HUNGER to win. It's a mental game and their mind has to be in the right frame with a determination and focus. As Harry Vardon said: "To play well you must feel tranquil and at peace. I have never been troubled by nerves in golf because I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain."
3. COURSE. Does the course layout favor the strengths of the golfer and does it expose their weaknesses. Previous form can change immediately for those who feel comfortable on a course and its greens.

When people from China start entering our golf contests, I will make a reference to them. I guess I was being biased towards anyone in Europe but by the northeast reference, that includes anyone in the us or canada where it is cold. Just trying to be politically correct.

I know growing up near chicago, watching the hawaii and west coast tourneys made me warmer in January and then spring training helped in February.
