Letters from Santa is back baby! Santa wrote me the letter below for DAY 10 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway. Most of you already know Santa and I are buds. And the big guy helps me out every year figuring out what to include in my 12 Days.
This year Santa's first letter is strong... really, really strong. And we've decided to give someone a full set of custom built new Mizuno irons. You can choose from any of the Pro models, the 221, 223, or 225. And you can also go for the new JPX 923 models, the Hot Metal, Hot Metal Pro, or Hot Metal High Launch.
I know Santa enjoyed my Mizuno Pro 223, 225 and JPX 923 Hot Metal and Hot Metal Pro irons reviews. What I didn't know was Santa apparently had an injury riddled year, and is building Mizuno irons up at the North Pole. But I'll let him tell you all about it in his letter.
Here are also some pics of my Mizuno Pro 223 and 225 irons, as well as my JPX 923 Hot Metal Pro irons out in the wild this year. Someone's iron game is about to get a Kringle-sized upgrade!
Remember you always have three different ways to win the daily gifts in my giveaway this year. On twitter just retweet my giveaway announcement and follow all; on Instagram repost, mention in your story, or like, and follow all; and here on my blog leave a comment in the section below in the daily review/giveaway, Jingle Bam, and Letters from Santa articles.
These gifts are great prizes of course, but also some of the best equipment and gear in their class that I played and reviewed this season. And I hope these mini reviews and recaps give you an idea of why I rate them so highly.
Merry Christmas all, and here's Santa's letter to me again. Yeah I really do know him!
Merry Christmas Pete!
Sorry it's taken me a bit to write, but see you're busier than ever with your PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway. All the elves are watching and they're like... DAAAAAAAYUM PAPPAS! They still can't believe you're a one man show. Asked me if overnighted you a jar of my Santa Magic Dust, I tell em again, no. Pete's just Natural Born Crazy, also has that innate lift and thrust like the reindeer.
Busier than usual up here on The Pole as well. Things are great, almost the big night. I tore my meniscus some months back. Had a few too many Scrooge Drivers one night, and they hit hard. Then Frosty dares me to bull ride the Polar Express. Not my finest moment. All healed up now though. I saw you wearing a knee brace out at the East Lake Collegiate-AM? Looked like you were playing three different Mizuno iron models. Not the Pro 221s though, still not good enough? OHHH!!! Santa BURRRRN!!!!! Sorry buddy, I just love to pa rum pum pum pummel you... OHHHHHH AGAIN!!!!!
Okay seriously though speaking of Mizuno, they've been selling so many irons the few past years we've subcontracted to help them meet demand and build up here on The Pole. Off the record, black-ops kinda thing. We call it Blue-Ops... you know, RunBird. Mizuno Blue. Of course I had to sign a lifetime non-disclosure agreement. They even negotiated unlimited, anytime rides on my sleigh with discretion to NASCAR it up, paint it blue, throw RunBird logos all over it. Which honestly, looks damn cool. But I held firm on exclusive December rights.
All worth it, everyone’s here freaking loves the Mizuno irons. In fact, we had to build and install a few thousand more indoor simulators. It can get pretty rowdy on the weekend, intense competition. Half of the elves are screaming "JPX!!!" The other half yelling back "Pro Series!!!" Kinda like those old, "Tastes Great... Less Filling" commercials. Some of the elves even put up posters of Galbreth, Vosh, and Crawdaddy in their rooms. Pretty weird, but I allow it. Easier than trying to settle em all down all the time. Put a set of Mizuno irons in an elf's hands and all of a sudden they think they can turn pro (geesh).
So I'm thinking lets go BIG and give away a Full Set of custom built Mizuno irons for your 12 Days. Let the winner choose from any of the new Pro 221 (snickering), 223, or 225 irons and also the new JPX 923 Hot Metal, Hot Metal Pro, or Hot Metal High Launch irons. Everyone will absolutely lose their minds. Also random aside, really love the Nothing Feels Like a Mizuno motto, thinking I should have one too. How about... Set Goal, Crush Goal, Repeat. Or too much John Wick vibe probably? Lemme know.
Talk again soon buddy,
Santa
Unreal! Would love a set of Mizuno. Haven’t played them since my MP33s in high school! Those were the days!!
ReplyDeleteTough to see Santa fall victim to the meniscus tear but our excitement will heal him properly!
ReplyDelete#ReleaseTheKringle
Holy cow, these Mizunos are absolutely beautiful! MUST HAVE!!
ReplyDeleteDamn! Santa treating Pete and his followers to a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMy iron game certainly needs a Kringle-sized upgrade! The 225's would certainly fit that bill! #ReleaseTheKringle #JingleBAM
ReplyDeleteThese are fire Pete! I loved your reviews this summer on these irons and wanted to hit them ever since you posted photos! Thank you Santa Pete for the opportunity to hit pure irons again!
ReplyDeleteBAM is right
ReplyDeleteWow Pete, you and Santa are killing it with this one! I'd love to win a set of North Pole built 225s.
ReplyDelete#JingleBAM
#ReleaseTheKringle

ReplyDeleteAbsolute fire lineup of irons. Bringing the Mizuno heat, Pete!🔥
ReplyDeleteNothing feels like a Mizuno.
ReplyDeleteForged goodness.
ReplyDeleteNothing feels like a Mizuno!! #ReleaseTheKringle
ReplyDeleteLove the Kringle Sized upgrade! Nothing beats a flushed iron with a Mizuno forged iron. Can a combo set be put together by the winner? That would be even more fabulous! #ReleaseTheKringle #JingleBAM

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love Santa Pappas’s letter! You are absolutely right - you put a set of Mizuno irons in an elf’s hands and they think they can turn pro. I hope that happens to me! LPGA here I come 😂. Thanks as always for the opportunity! #JingleBam #ReleasetheKringle
ReplyDeleteYes! Santa is right. Pete is a one man band energizer bunny. Put some blue Mizunos and some Santa dust in the hands of an elf and they will be scratch in no time. I have a cool Colbalt blue bag that would look great with some Mizuno 225's or a combination set in there! This has to be one of the best Santa Pappas yet!! #ReleasetheKringle
