A mere three months after introducing this feature*, the Prognosticator is back for its next edition.  Inspired by the conversation going on around grooves and the PGA Show this week in Orlando, I figured I would make some predictions about what you and the pros will see in their bags in 2010.

Remember, try to predict three future happenings in golf based upon either:

• little information
• some information
• full information
• absolutely nothing substantiated to back my claim

So, here's what I'm going to predict:

• Some longer PGA Tour players will consider taking the driver out of the bag entirely to have a fourth or fifth wedge and STILL play a modern, multipiece ball.  (Basis: Some information)
• There will be several players that will make the move to square shaped drivers in response to ball technology - allowing them to still gouge with less disastrous consequences.  (Basis: Some information)
• Your next set of irons will likely not even give you the option of a traditional 3 or 4 iron. (Basis: full information)
  

* It turns out that I was right on two of my first three predictions.  Meatloaf would be proud.
