PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas JingleBAM DAY 6 Golf Giveaway: CRU Golf LEGACY Leather Carry Bag (You Custom Design Your Own) and 3 Custom Leather Headcovers and Custom Leather Valuables Pouch

Golf in it's purest form has always been about enjoying the walk.  It's almost a spiritual feeling when you smell the freshly cut grass as the sun rises on the morning horizon.  When the landscape opens up and you see the pin flag for the first time whipping in the distance, you're at one with nature.

Architecture, shot strategies, and scenery all come together when you walk a course.  And the new leather CRU Legacy carry bag pays homage to enjoying the walk.  The Legacy is nostalgic and sophisticated.  It's a leather carry bag you pass on from generation to generation.  And the feeling you'll experience carrying one over your shoulder is pure joy. And one of you is going to win your very own Legacy Bag in my DAY 6 Jingle BAM Giveaway.  But it gets even better!

Fujikura VENTUS TR Red Blue Black Shaft Review: 2023 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 6

If you look up domination in the dictionary Fujikura Golf should really be there.  Fujikura was the Number 1 played driver, wood, and hybrid shaft on the PGA Tour this season.  It was the Number 1 played driver shaft in three of the four major championships.  Half of all tournaments played during the season were won by players using Fujikura shafts.  And at the final event of the season, of course it was Fujikura to win the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club.

And the VENTUS shaft?  Over the entire season on Tour there were more than 4,400 uses of VENTUS, 1,500+ more uses than the next closest competitor.  So of course for DAY 6 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway one of you will win any VENTUS TR shaft you want.  Choose from Red, Blue, or Black, any weight, any flex.  I'll even see what I can do to get it cut and gripped at the length you want with whatever driver you want to use it in.  You can read about the VENTUS TR Red, Blue, and Black specs and technology here.

I recently went through a PXG fitting for the new 0317 irons and Battle Ready II putters.  I hit every iron, the 0317 ST, 0317 CB, and 0317 T as well as many of the new Battle Ready II putters.  And the entire fitting was ignite, sizzle, blaze, and repeat.  A legit mood enhancing experience.

Hitting the 0317 irons was like an all you can eat shotmaking buffet with a side of razzle dazzle.  Rolling the Battle Ready II putters made me feel like I was on some kind of dopamine and adrenaline drip.  PXG is clearly not holding anything back with these new releases.

Vessel Player IV DXR and Player IV Pro DXR Stand Bag Review

Vessel Golf has a reputation for making some of the absolute best golf bags in the business.  And their Player carry bags in particular are so popular they have almost a cult-like following.  Craftsmanship and appearance are in a class of one.  Comfort and functionality are premium with nothing sacrificed.  You'll hear a lot of golfers call the Vessel Player bags the perfect golf bag,

When you design a bag like Vessel's Player bag and really check all the boxes (I'll touch on all of these below) the room for improvement is small.  But when Vessel released their new Player IV and Player IV Pro carry bags they proved once again they aren't a company to rest on their accomplishments.  And even small changes can lead to big advantages.

Shot Scope Debuts MyStrategy - First-of-its Kind Game Management Feature

For the first time, golfers can log onto an app and match their game performance stats with any new course they are playing and receive advanced insight on how to play each hole from tee to green. Today, Shot Scope (www.shotscope.com), the golf industry-leader in advanced GPS and shot tracking technology, unveiled MyStrategy, an app feature that can be synced with the Company’s GPS Rangefinders and Smart Watches that allows golf travelers, competitive tournament players, or any golfer playing a new course, to plan ahead by matching their stats and getting advanced insight on how to play each hole from tee-to-green.

As the only company to offer game performance tracking across all GPS product categories – rangefinders, smartwatches, and tracking tags – Shot Scope’s MyStrategy feature, available exclusively on the Shot Scope mobile app (iOS and Android) or web dashboard, allows golfers to overlay their statistics and devise a strategy for every hole. They can identify which club is better off the tee and where they should aim to give the best chance at making a par or birdie, or even just staying out of trouble. The new feature will be supported through Shot Scope’s golf industry partnerships with the Middle Atlantic, New Jersey and Southern California PGA Sections.
