It's that time again friends! My annual PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway kicks off tomorrow, December 9th. And as much of an adrenaline rush and wild as it always is, we're taking Release The Kringle to a whole new level this year. I can't exaggerate how crazy it's going to be.
We'll have more gifts, more prizes, and more winners in this years 12 Days of Christmas than we've had in the past two years... combined. Mmm hmm... Jingle BAM baby!
Everything we're giving away this year you've heard me talk about and review as tops for 2021 (and even into 2022), and includes gear and equipment from Adidas, Aerotech, Aldila, Bridgestone, Callaway, Cleveland/SRIXON, Cobra, CRU, Cuater, Duca del Cosma, FootJoy, Golf Pride, Inverness Club Pro Shop, Kentwool, Mitsubishi, Mizuno, Nikon, Project X, Puma, Revo, Shot Scope, SIK, Titleist, Tour Edge, Travis Mathew, Vessel, Volition America, and more.
My 12 Days of Christmas is always wild for sure, but it's really the entire year and sharing everything with all of you that I love and value most. From equipment reviews and course reviews to covering big Tour events, we have so many fun conversations and interactions, talking golf and even life in general a bit. You are why I do what I do and why I will always strive to give you my absolute best.
I'll always give it to you straight and genuinely appreciate the trust you put in me. I wish I could say it in a way that's more profound, but I'm grateful for every one of you, and thank you more than you'll ever know.
To quickly recap the year like we always do, it all kicked off with the PGA Merchandise Show in January. The Show was virtual for the first time because of Covid, but that didn't prevent new equipment reviews from flowing fast and furious.
Through the year the course is really my second office, maybe even my first office honestly, and we reviewed more gear in 2021 than any year before. And the more you enjoyed it all, the more I felt compelled to keep going even stronger.
Play With Pete Invitational at historic Inverness Club in Toledo was wildly fun. The course was set up for the Solheim Cup, and players got to experience this gem in tournament conditions. Sponsors were amazing, and the first PGAPappas golf ball made its debut which was pretty cool. Inverness Club is an anchor course for the Play With Pete Invitational, and I can tell you next year we already have at least a half-dozen Play With Pete Invitationals lined up all around the country.

I covered some absolutely great events this year, including the Solheim Cup, U.S. Open, U.S. Women's Open at The Olympic Club, and U.S. Amateur at Oakmont Country Club. I played in the Collegiate-Am at East Lake Golf Club before covering the East Lake Cup. And was also credentialed to cover my first Open Championship, which was pretty wild. You saw some of my interviews with players like Rory, the Korda sisters, Morikawa and Koepka on Golf Channel. Somehow it all worked out perfectly in every way imaginable.
There were also new courses played and reviewed. I showed you some of East Lake and Oakmont during my rounds and also during the events. Was in Georgia just a few weeks prior to that for the inaugural Bridgestone Tour B Cup at Harbour Club at Lake Oconee. Played and showed you some of the restored South Course at Oakland Hills. And believe it or not, still have one more trip planned this year (next week in fact). All gas no brakes baby!
And like that the year sped by and it's time again for my 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway. Like it has been every year, this giveaway is open to everyone worldwide. Beginning December 9th, each day we'll have new giveaways (yes, that's plural). And like every year it will run for 12 straight days.
This year however as mentioned, we're gonna just go absolutely crazy.
There will be giveaways at 12:45 in the afternoon and 7:45 in the evening each day. In fact, probably even three new giveaways each day. And they can drop at any time.
Letters from Santa gifts and Surprise Bonus gifts throughout these 12 days will return and be more fun than ever. With so much going on honestly, I might have to announce winners every few days instead of every day. We'll figure it all out as we go along. But you're going to want to strap in this year, crazy will happen literally around the clock this year.
You can enter my Christmas giveaway as always three unique and different ways, and at least one winner will come from each of these entries to spread around the holiday cheer.

But you know the companies I already mentioned, and will tell you we'll have clubs, balls, shoes, clothes, grips, shafts, bags, and pretty much everything any golfer is going to ever need.
