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.
