I realize the board is pretty new and not everyone knows and trusts eachother yet. But on another board I used to participate in, every christmas we used to have a secret santa pass.

Basically the way it works is everyone who wants to participate is assigned to a secret santa and also acts as someone elses secret santa. That way everyone who gives a gift recieves one. You anonomously send a gift to your recipient and then leave certain clues for your recipient to try and guess who your santa is. We could limit the gifts to $10-15 including shipping so no one's neck's on the line. Since there are certain items such as balls, tees, divot tools, towels, and grips golfers always need it should be a fun way to get to know one another.

I'd be happy to organize it if anyone's interested.

I'm up for it if anyone else is. The group is small enough now that this will be the only year it's manageable.

Looks like there's some interest, why not keep it open for people to sign up until Wednesday. If you would like to participate, please e-mail me your preffered mailing address:
t_madefan@yahoo.com
and I'll start pairing people up!
Just remember to use Secret Santa on the return address and try and leave some clues relevant to posts on the message board to try and let the recipient know who you are!

Bump... curious how it's going for those involved.

I sent my package last week sometime, and it should arrive very soon.

Bump again: did everyone get their stuff? I received mine awhile back. I've thanked the dude who sent it (don't want to say his name here for fear of spoiling it).

The present I sent was received awhile back too, so all is well here. Todd? Aaron? Kiran? Jeff? How was your secret santa experience?

Oh, and since it won't give anything away, I will list what I got...
  • A gopher headcover (the girlfriend adores it, so she owns it now... but her clubs are in my living room, so....)
  • A sleeve of Nike ONE Blacks
  • A couple of Stinger tees (they really do work)
The list above probably cost a little more than the $10-$15 total we'd all agreed to, but I believe that the person sending it was trying to say "thanks" for having the blog and forum.

Listing what I sent would give it away, so I won't do that.

Yep, had a great experience. I've used my gift all weekend long and it's super handy plus super golf geeky. That fits me pretty well though. Thanks to whoever had it sent my way.

Haven't got a chance yet to use mine, but it's something I'm sure I'll be using quite frequently - a Swing Sock which is a weighted thingie you put on an iron to warm up with similar to those weight donuts baseball players put on their bats while in the on-deck circle. Plus, a couple of ball/tee sets, one of which has holiday logos - perfect for a Christmas nut like myself. This was an awesome idea.

My gift was wonderful as well. I received a 2005 PGA Tour factoid desk calendar. It's one of the tear-off sheet kind that goes day-by-day. It's the perfect thing to bring about story ideas for my blog and keep me staring at golf all day long, even when the computer is off. I'm thrilled with it.

I'm also glad that my recipient found my gift useful. Just kinda gives me a warm fuzzy.

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By snapfade ·

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

      This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
