    Don't want to turn this into a huge argument as everyone will be on your side.

    Sure I posted in day 10 but I wasn't asking for anything. Not really sure why you are all over my case right now, it is not like I posted in every single "Day of Christmas" threads asking for something like some people have already.

    I posted in day 9 and didn't fit criteria which is ok, then apologized in the day 10 thread. You saying "- You really haven't played for months, but you just "happen" to get back on when gifts are being given away." so does that mean I made up my story and I just happen to be present for times where people get gifts? If that were the case, I think I would have started on day 1 and continued. I see a lot of threads in the forums where there are giveaways, wouldn't I be responding in them as well?

    If I don't fit the criteria, just politely say I don't fit it and the reason- because I received a gift in July and I would have been content with it. No reason to go saying I have more posts than games, you havn't played much etc, etc... That is all I was asking. I've seen people asking on continuous days for stuff, and you guys reply by saying you had already received stuff on previous days so you can't get another. But for me, I'm not sure why you had to make a list with all negative things on it.

    So someone who goes on vacation for a month or two is now required to give level 90+ iron sets, drivers, putters? I never mentioned once where I could not afford to be on the giving end of this event. If you read what I posted, I just said the gifts will not be as good as people are giving away right now with high level drivers, iron sets, wedges etc...

     

    I didn't want to make this into a big deal, but I thought I had to defend myself on the stuff you posted about me.

    Like I said in previous posts, I appreciate what you and all the other Santas are doing this year, especially since I was able to receive a gift during this event in the past.

    ?? Maybe I'm pushing, but couldn't you just challenge them to a challenge match play game and they forfeit on the 1st hole?? (Well, until they give away 1000)  If not that's fine, just came to me and I  had to speak my mind lol.

    Possibly - we as a club don't do it as a rule due to the profit WGT makes from this transaction. You would lose 15% of the 1000.

    Better value to just get the balls you use for the 1000 and retain/ save your credits for this higher need.

    I will ask your Santa, if he is OK with it then it's fine by me.

    If you do it as a blitz challenge for 999cr the rake is almost nothing.

    verdexon:

    To all our International Friends & Golfing " Tragics ". The following is a Christmas Carol Aussie Aussie Aussie style sung to the tune of Jingle Bells.

                                CHRISTMAS DAY THE AUSSIE WAY

                                    Dashing through the bush
                                    In a rusty Holden Ute
                                    Kicking up the dust
                                    Esky in the boot

                                    Kelpie by my side
                                    Singing Xmas songs
                                    It's summertime & I am in
                                    My singlet shorts & thongs

                                    The V8's getting hot
                                    We dodge some Kangaroos
                                    A Swaggie jumps onboard
                                    He is welcome too

                                    All the Family's here
                                    Sipping by the pool
                                    Xmas Day the Aussie way
                                    With a backyard Barbecue

                                    Come the afternoon
                                    Grandpa has a snooze
                                    The Kids & Uncle Bruce
                                    Are swimming in the nude

                                    The time comes round to go
                                    We take the Family snap
                                     Pack the Ute & all shoot through
                                     But next year we'll be back

                                     Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way
                                     Christmas in Australia on a scorching Summer's Day
                                     Jingle Bells jingle Bells Xmas time is beaut
                                     Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute

            Compliments of the season everyone, Verdexon  ( John )

                    Elvis has left the building. ( That's my carrier pigeons' name )

    Have done my duty Boss and am now off to enjoy some eggnog with the Elves.

    iTotmikes gift is winging it's way  North and barring headwinds and ice form should arrive before this post is finished.

    Well done to all who participated and a Safe and Awesome Christmas to everyone.

    Lets hope the good vibe continues into 2014

    Cheers from Al

    Found putter very hard to wrap with shortage of sticky tape. Managed to use super glue.

    Now have ding finger firmly glued to mouse.

    We've lost control, there is absolutely no response from ding finger and fear dings may now become a memory from the past. 

    We're going to crash, we're going to crash.................

     

    Santa 7 this is AAA control.
