If you follow me on X/Twitter and Instagram you know there's just a handful of shafts that always seem to fit me best and I wind up playing regularly in my drivers and woods.  One of those shafts is the Graphite Design Tour AD DI.  And one of the hottest new shafts for 2024 just happens to be a Graphite Design Tour AD.

In fact, you've already seen Tiger and Justin Thomas playing this shaft and they're bombing the bejesus of driver right now.  I'm talking about the new Graphite Design Tour AD VF.  VF stands for Victory Force and for DAY 8 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway one of you can choose ANY weight and flex AD VF shaft.  And I'll even see if I can get Graphite Design to tip and grip it for any driver you want to use it with.

Tour Edge Wingman Wedge Review: 2023 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 7

When you think of Tour Edge Golf you probably think of their award winning drivers, woods, and hybrids.  But if you stopped there it would be a mistake.  Tour Edge has made the path to better wedge play a whole lot easier with their new Tour Edge Wingman wedges.  Giving you the precision you want and forgiveness you need, the Wingman wedges also feature distinctive sole grinds and masterful groove designs to control your distances, manage various lies, and ultimately hit your intended targets.

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.

PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas JingleBAM DAY 1 Golf Giveaway: PRG Golf Officially Licensed Driver and Putter Headcovers

I'm fortunate my job has allowed me to play a lot of superlative courses.  In some way and often many ways these courses are compelling because of their rich histories, championship pedigrees, and preeminent architectural designs.  When I play and review these courses I don't usually go full architecture dork on you but give you enough course nuance to get a feel for the spirit and soul of these courses.  And of course then also just let my photographs tell the rest of the story.

Invariably I wind up buying putter headcovers from the pro shops to commemorate the rounds and experiences.  And it seems more often than not the putter covers I return home with are PRG Golf designs.  PRG headcovers are well made and durable to be your everyday headcovers.  They're also captivating in beauty to be on full display like I do with mine.  And on this DAY 1 Jingle BAM giveaway, one of you can choose both a driver and putter headcover from any of PRG's officially licensed collections.  Whatever you want.  Go crazy!
