Letters from Santa DAY 12 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway: Club Champion Iron Fitting and Custom Build of ANY FULL Set of Irons of YOUR Choice

It's always sentimental getting my last letter from Santa before Christmas Eve.  But as usual he made me smile.  Heck even was cranking my tunes at The Pole today.  He's also looking for a new part-time job apparently when Christmas season is over. I'll let Santa tell you all about it in his letter below.

Santa was expecting this one, the last gift for DAY 12 in my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  It's a Kringle tradition and Santa loves everything about it. A Club Champion Iron Fitting and Custom Build of ANY FULL Set of Irons of YOUR Choice!  Santa's also a huge fan of Club Champion (again, see his letter).  And you can read all about my latest CC Iron Fitting in my review here.  It's been a WILD 12 Days.  But it's not over yet baby!!!

Club Champion Iron Fitting Review - Warrensville Heights Ohio Studio

I have a confession to make.  Whenever I'm driving to a Club Champion fitting I'm blasting music from a Sam Spence NFL Films soundtrack on the ride there.  It pumps me up like crazy.  And I do this because while I don't know what the end result of my fitting will be.  I do know Club Champion is going to make the entire experience absolutely awesome.

I was fit for a new set of irons at Club Champion a few months back and it was in fact absolutely awesome.  The reason I mentioned above I knew it would be coming in is because past fittings I've had with them showed me the Club Champion expertise, attention to detail, and thoroughness of fitting is exceptional in every way.  And as it would turn out, this particular iron fitting wound up being even better than I could have imagined.

Letters from Santa DAY 11 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway: New 2024 Vessel Golf Prime 2.0 Staff Bag (Carbon Navy)

So it looks like Santa and Tiger Woods have something in common now.  And Santa also has ideas about going to an alternate Christmas Eve outfit?  Crazy... But I like it!  Less than 48 hours until his Christmas Eve trip around the world and I can tell the Claus Adrenaline is spiking!  I'll let Santa tell you all about it in his letter below.

And believe it or not Santa's alternate outfit idea was inspired by a new bag he picked up on my recommendation.  The ultra-premium Vessel Golf 2024 Prime 2.0 Staff Bag.  Just makes perfect sense we have one in Carbon Navy color for DAY 11 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  Yes, it's sold out in this magnificent color on the Vessel Golf site.  But Kringle got one for you baby...

Letters from Santa DAY 10 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway: New Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser Rangefinder

Santa dodged a bullet last night.  I'm actually surprised he has the constitution to even write me.  Elves went missing over Kazakhstan.  North Pole Search and Rescue was called in.  And methane gas was a big problem.  To his credit Santa sure seemed poised about it all.  I'll let Santa tell you all about it in his letter below.

And one of the craziest things about last night was how the new Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser Rangefinder played a role in all of this.  In fact, it played the starring role so Santa wants the Pro X3+ to be included in DAY 10 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.

New PXG Tour Series Limited Edition Brandon Putters: 2024 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 10

The new PXG Tour Series Limited Edition Brandon putters are a traditionalist's dream come true.  But these are much more than a classic approach to putter design.  Available in two models, the PXG Tour Series putters have high heel-toe weighting and MOI to make them incredibly forgiving.  They're 100-percent fully milled from one solid piece of 303 stainless steel.  And a distinctive milling give them both a soft feel and solid contact sensation at impact.

Letters from Santa DAY 9 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway: New 2024 Original Penguin Insulated Golf Jacket and Choice of Golf Polos

I knew Santa and Arnold Palmer were friends.  Crazy thing is with all the stories he's told me about their friendship he never told me how they met.  Until tonight.  Santa also shared something about The King that I never heard anywhere before.  Suffice to say AP had some Kringle in him for sure.  I'll let Santa tell you all about it in his letter below.

How this all relates is Arnie was the one who got Santa hooked on Original Penguin.  And Santa was pretty impressed with the new OP golf gear I showed you a few months back.  So for DAY 9 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway we're including the OP Golf Insulated Mixed Media Full Zip Jacket, AND your choice of either the new OP 19th Hole Golf Print polo or new OP Allover Pete Print Golf polo.  You can choose sizes S, M, L, XL, or XXL.

PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Santa Dared Me DAY 8 Giveaway 4: 3 Pairs of Duca del Cosma Golf Shoes (3 Winners)

Santa already dared me.  And we also already know about the Santa Said Do It gifts.  It seems like a good time and the right place to combine them both.  So for the Santa Dared Me Giveaway 4 in DAY 8 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway let's revisit the Duca del Cosma gifts and today give 3 more pairs away, one pair to 3 people!  Check out their site here and select any shoes (or boots) you want.

You can find dozens of Duca reviews here on my site.  Dozens more on my social channels.  I always tell you the "what" about Duca shoes (and boots).  What do they look like and what are the nuances that make them so uniquely handsome.  What do they perform like in stability, traction, and comfort.  But Duca innovation (the how and why) is just as much a part of Duca's DNA, and in fact it's what drives the Duca appearance and performance.  So let's delve into that just a bit with a few examples.

Letters from Santa DAY 7 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway: Golf Pride FULL Set of 13 Grips

Oh boy, Santa's having a tough one tonight.  Last minute office party pressures and the old cliché, if something can go wrong it will. Santa thrives on chaos though.  I have a feeling he's going to pull it off tonight.  Though he might be using the nuclear option, the Santa Smokescreen to get it done.  I'll let him tell you all about it in his letter below.

Letters from Santa DAY 6 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway: Any New LA Golf Putter You Want

Santa started telling me about his Origin Story tonight and I had no idea just how resolved he is.  Also Christmas gifts before there was an actual Christmas sounded pretty atrocious.  Santa also was a general apparently.  And maybe it's just me but it sure sounds like DreamWorks and Universal Pictures got at least part of their idea for the movie Gladiator based on Santa's personal experience.  I'll let him tell you all about it in his letter below.

Right to the point, Santa's a big fan of LA Golf (seems he finds their origin story (if you will) relatable in his own.  And of course the LA Golf equipment and putters in particular get him pretty excited.  So tonight for DAY 6 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway we're asking you to choose ANY LA Golf putter you want.  Head on over to the LA Golf site here and choose any putter model, any finish, RH or LH and our friends at LA Golf will build it just for you.

Letters from Santa DAY 5 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway: New 2025 Graphite Design Tour AD GC Driver Shaft

Well?  Looks like Santa is thinking about tinkering with his sleigh again.  And in a BIG way.  Also learned (and maybe I'm reading between the lines here) that SC might be a bit of a mobster movie fan.  I'll let him tell you all about it in his letter below.

The sleigh overhaul seems to be inspired by the new 2025 Graphite Design Tour AD GC shafts.  Santa wants you to be one of the first to give this baby a swing.  AD GC is a stable, strong, and that promises greater control and performance in your woods and driver.  And Santa wants you to be one of the first to put this shaft in play so we've got an AD GC6-S shaft for DAY 5 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.

Letters from Santa DAY 4 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway: 2 PAIRS of ANY Duca del Cosma Golf Shoes in their Entire 2024-2025 Collection

So I learned tonight Santa has some kind of strange Scott Baio phobia.  Might start calling him Chachi in our money games.  Santa also has burner accounts on X and Instagram.  I won't judge but not what I expected from the Jolly Man in Red.  I'll let him tell you all about it in his letter below.

Another "not a surprise, kind of a surprise" thing was Santa telling me (again) how much he loves his Duca del Cosma golf shoes.  Knew that.  I mean, who doesn't love Duca?  What I didn't know was how many pairs of Duca he has.  Imelda Marcos vibes.  And my pal Imelda Claus had a great idea.  We've never given away TWO pairs of Duca del Cosma to anyone before.  Santa says do it.  So of course we're doing just that for DAY 4 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  Any TWO pairs you want from Duca's entire 2024-2025 Collection.

Over the last three or so years Cobra Golf has advanced the performance and feel of their irons to such a degree that I'd have to put them in any discussion about best irons in a particular category.  Game-Improvement, Players Distance, and Players irons have all made significant strides.

And for my money the new Cobra KING Tec irons and new Cobra KING Tour irons are the best irons Cobra has ever made in those particular categories (players and players distance).  To go even further I'd say KING Tec and KING Tour are the best irons Cobra has ever made.  Period.  And one of you can choose a FULL SET of either the new 2025 KING Tec or new KING Tour irons in DAY 3 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.

Santa is always full of surprises.  And I'm not just talking about what he's including in DAY 2 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway.  I knew Santa had a pretty decorated amateur golf career.  But I didn't know about all the awards he won.  And I certainly didn't know he also was a Private Investigator and Game Show Host.  I'll let him tell you all about it in his letter below.

Santa told me his game has gone next level since he started using the Nikon Coolshot Pro II Stabilized Laster Rangefinder.  Apparently gave it a shot after reading my review and hasn't looked back.  He requested we include it for DAY 2 and that's good enough for me.

USGA Announces New Competitive Fairness Gender Policy

The United States Golf Association (USGA) has introduced a new Competitive Fairness Gender Policy, set to take effect for the 2025 championship season.

Current scientific and medical research shows that sports performance differences exist between biological sexes and such differences begin to occur during the onset of puberty.
