    Hi there everyone ----

    Rather than hold a lottery or a trivia match for the 10th day of Christmas the members of the Deviations CC went a different route.   We got together and selected 10 WGT players who we have played with in the past who we believe love to play this game - but don't seem to have an overabundance of credits which they have won.

    These folks don't seem to win big in the tournament circuit as shown by their overall earnings and their match play records don't indicate they are rolling in credits.   So we are hoping they can use an infusion of balls in their golf bags.    There might be some familiar names to those who read the forums and others you don't know.  Either way .. they are all good folks.

    With input from many members of the CC --- BeachedMulligan, EnglishRosey, Tarheelsrule, Kyrock75 and I selected the following 10 folks .. (to represent the 10 days) and will gift them several sleeves of golf balls so they can continue to have fun playing WGT.  Hopefully some of you will seek them out for a game .. we are sure you will enjoy getting to know them.

    1. Yancycan
    2. nopro17
    3. jbritton
    4. IvaThongon
    5. Andyson
    6. Sriley13
    7. edin1307
    8. etrofregor
    9. mikedeck51
    10. And finally .. the guy who started this idea MrCaddie.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of the folks we selected - look for gifts in your stockings really soon.

    And of course Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone on WGT.   Sorry we didn't pick you but perhaps we can get catch you next year.    Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho

    Great concept and wonderful to see so many great players come through and participate in this.

    Thanks .. but I was remiss when i wrote the original post.   It was BeachedMulligan (Ryan) was the one who initiated and pushed for our participation  --- I just did the grunt work. 

    He's Santa and the rest of us are elves --- even me.   That is if you can picture a 300 pound elf :).

    I am humbled you guys and gals in the Deviations  would think of me to be one of the 10 to receive this gift!   Wow!  Thank you very much for the gift, the balls arrived last night.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the members in the Deviations CC!!

    I tried but I just couldn't Lou.  Although I did find the video of you as an elf in what must have been a school Christmas pageant when you were much younger and slimmer.  Merry Christmas Lou!!
