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.
