2024 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway

My annual PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway kicks off tomorrow, Tuesday December 10th.  And I'm telling you now... Release The Kringle is going All Gas No Brakes straight up KringlePalooza this year!

Each year 12 Days gets bigger, wilder, and more fun than ever.  And this year we'll have more gifts, more prizes, and more winners than ever before.  And the prizes are freaking insane.  Kringle is pushing all the chips center table Jingle BAM Jingle BAM Bigger 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 2024 (and even into 2025).  And this year we have gear and equipment from Adidas, Aerotech, Bridgestone, Bushnell, Callaway, Cleveland, Club Champion, Cobra, Duca del Cosma, FootJoy, Fujikura, Galvin Green, Golf Pride, Graphite Design, Iliac, LA Golf, L.A.B. Golf, Motocaddy, Nikon, Odyssey, Original Penguin, PXG,  Shot Scope, Stitch, 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 2024 than any year before.  And again the common theme was you.  We talked gear and equipment in direct messages, we talked on X/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.

The Olympic Club hosted Play With Pete Invitational for the first time and the Lake Course exceeded all expectations.  All eight players received custom fit new Callaway Ai Smoke Drivers, new Chrome Tour balls (with those PGAPappas logos you all loved), and a full outfit from shirt and pants to shoes from TravisMathew.  It was a wildly fun day for everyone playing and all of you following along.

I can tell you next year we already have more than a half-dozen Play With Pete Invitationals lined up all around the country.  Two of them you already know about if you've been paying attention to my X/Twitter and Instagram accounts.  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 covered the U.S. Junior Amateur from Oakland Hills Country Club (which coincidentally is the birthplace of the Play With Pete Invitational.  And we even got a few more podcasts out there this year.  I know you guys want more of these and for them to even be regular segments and I promise you I'll work on that for 2025!

In addition to showing you and reviewing courses like the Lake Course at The Olympic Club, I took you along with me on return trips to courses like Oakland Hills, Scioto Country Club, and of course my stomping ground Manakiki with course pictures and videos through the season.  And we have more gems lined up for 2025.  Gotta say it again... 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 tomorrow December 10th, each day we'll have new giveaways (yes, that's plural).  And like every year it will run for 12 straight days.

There will be giveaways at 12:45 in the afternoon, 4:45 in the late 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 X/Twitter, and on Instagram and there are always thousands and thousands).

Some days we'll even have FOUR or FIVE new giveaways, and they can drop at any time.  Let's call these #JingleBAMBigger, #KringleGonnaKringle, and #SantaSaidDoIt giveaways!

Letters from Santa gifts return throughout these 12 days 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 (the same way we did it last year).  You can enter all the giveaways anytime during the 12 Days.

So the draw and announcement of winners will be on New Years Eve.  All the days winners will be posted on X/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 X/Twitter, when you see my Giveaway, Letters from Santa, Jingle BAM, Jingle BAM Bigger, or Flash Kringle Gonna Kringle post, 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, Jingle BAM Bigger, or Flash Kringle Gonna Kringle post, be sure you're following me and the company who made the gear/equipment I'm giving away, and then Repost or Mention in Your Story, and 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, Jingle BAM Bigger, and Flash Kringle Gonna Kringle articles 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, shafts, bags, accessories, and pretty much everything any golfer is going to ever need.  And what you see in that video just below?  There's even more but couldn't fit everything under the trees.  Buckle up, #KringlePalooza is coming.

The Kringle engine has been revvin' here for weeks now and I see all of you are already pumped and ready to go as well.  Your comments, gifs, replies, and interactions during 12 Days have always been awesome every year and really makes everything incredibly fun for all.  Absolutely love that! 

We officially #ReleaseTheKringle and kick off 12 Days tomorrow afternoon.  And wishing each and every one of you a wonderful holiday season, joyous Christmas, and absolute best in the New Year!

Cheers all,

Pete
