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.
