2022 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway

It's that time again baby!  My annual PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway kicks off tomorrow, Thursday December 8th.  Each year it gets bigger, wilder, and more fun than ever, and I'm telling you now straight up... Release The Kringle is going off the damn rails this year.  You're gonna want to buckle up!

We'll have more gifts, more prizes, and more winners than ever before.  And the prizes are freaking insane.  Pushing all the chips center table Jingle BAM insane each and every day.

All the prizes are things you've heard me talk about and review all year long.  That's always a theme of my 12 Days... product, gear, swag that stood out for me as tops for 2022 (and even into 2023).  And this year we have gear and equipment from Adidas, Aerotech, Arccos, Bridgestone, Callaway, Club Champion, Cobra, Cuater, Duca del Cosma, Edel, Evnroll, FootJoy, Fujikura, Galvin Green, Motocaddy, Mizuno, Nikon, Original Penguin, Project X, PXG,  Shot Scope, SIK, Titleist, Tour Edge, Travis Mathew, Vessel, and more.

My 12 Days of Christmas is always an insane, non-stop, adrenaline rush for me.  I'm as big a Christmas dork as you'll ever know.  And being able wrap up the year like this with all of you... it's more than a Christmas giveaway, it's really a chaotic 12 day long Christmas party that takes on a life of its own.

I don't want to get soft on you now, but have to absolutely say you are always the reason I do what I do with all things golf, and why I always give my absolute best with it all.  The equipment reviews, the course reviews, the big Tour event coverage, the giveaways, the conversations and interactions every single day throughout the year.  You're the driving force for me.  I hope that comes through unequivocally.

So... to quickly recap the year like we always do before starting my 12 Days, it all kicked off in January with new equipment reviews, and they flowed fast and furious.  The entire year really was a whirlwind.  Or maybe better said, and you know what I'm going to say... All Gas and No Brakes!

The golf course is basically my second office, maybe even my main office really.  And we reviewed more gear in 2022 than any year before.  And again the common theme was you.  We talked gear and equipment in direct messages, we talked in twitter and Instagram posts, in emails all the time and all hours of the day.  And the more we did the more I felt compelled to go even stronger.

Play With Pete Invitational headed west for the first time to historic Pasatiempo Golf Club in California and it was wildly fun.  We had eight players at Pasatiempo and everyone was fit for new Callaway golf balls and new Callaway Rogue ST drivers before play began.

We'll definitely return to Pasatiempo, and I can tell you next year we already have more than a half-dozen Play With Pete Invitationals lined up all around the country (and even outside the U.S. - more on that in a bit).  Courses and sponsors interest keeps growing and growing.  And of course that's because of the main stars of Play With Pete Invitational, you.

I covered some absolutely great events this year and interviewed players at the U.S. Open, the U.S. Women's Open, and The Open Championship to name just a few.  I also played in the Collegiate-Am at East Lake Golf Club for the second consecutive year and covered the East Lake Cup, which has quickly become of one of my favorite events of the year.  And long overdue, I finally got into the podcast game and have plans to take that next level into the new year.

I took you along with me on return trips to Inverness Club, Oakland Hills, East Lake, and of course my stomping ground Manakiki with course pictures and videos through the season.  And played and reviewed quite a few new courses as well, like Pinehurst No. 2, NCR Country Club, Los Angeles Country Club, and even a couple of courses up north in Canada, Nicklaus North and Chateau Whistler.  Gotta say it again... All Gas No Brakes baby!

And circling back to my Play With Pete Invitational?  Yeah we're looking at a few first time stops at Pinehurst No. 2 and... home of the 151st Open Championship - Royal Liverpool!

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 tomorrow December 8th, 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 go absolutely crazy.

There will be giveaways at 12:45 in the afternoon and 7:45 in the evening each day (some days will start a little later as you know I read and reply to all your comments here, on twitter, and on Instagram and there are always thousands and thousands).  Some days we'll even have three new giveaways, and they can drop at any time.  Let's call these FLASH Stocking Stuffer giveaways.  The theme here is they're big prizes, but physically small enough to fit into your Christmas stocking!

Letters from Santa gifts and Jingle BAM Bonus gifts throughout these 12 days will return and be more fun than ever.  With so much going on honestly, I will announce winners at the same time when the 12 Days are finished, like a big unwrapping of all the winners.

So the draw and announcement will be on New Years Eve.  All the days winners will be posted on twitter, Instagram, and here on my blog.  So strap in, 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.

On twitter, when you see my Giveaway, Letters from Santa, Jingle BAM, or Stocking Stuffer tweet, be sure you're following me and the company who made the gear/equipment I'm giving away, and just retweet the announcement.

On Instagram, when you see my Giveaway, Letters from Santa, Jingle BAM, or Stocking Stuffer post, be sure you're following me and the company who made the gear/equipment I'm giving away, and then Repost, Mention in Your Story, or like the post.

And finally here on my blog, you can enter by leaving a comment in the particular days Giveaway, Letters from Santa, or Jingle BAM article and you're good to go.  You'll get some details and specifics about what made them and what makes them the best around in my opinion... and Santa's.

I'm not going to reveal specifics on the gifts you'll win just yet (you'll have to wait for the actual day to see what that days gifts are).  But you know the companies I already mentioned, and will tell you we'll have drivers, iron sets, wedge sets, putters, balls, shoes, clothes, grips, shafts, bags, accessories, and pretty much everything any golfer is going to ever need.  And what you see in the video above?  There's even more but couldn't fit everything under the trees.

I've never been more pumped for 12 Days than I am this year.  And I see you guys are already beyond pumped and ready to go for this as well!  Your comments, gifs, replies, everything have been awesome every year and makes everything incredibly fun for all.  Absolutely love that, keep it up!  We officially #ReleaseTheKringle and kick off 12 Days tomorrow afternoon!

Wishing each and every one of you a wonderful holiday season, joyous Christmas, and the absolute best in the New Year.

Cheers all,

Pete
