    Don't want to step on anyone's toes, and with all respect to those who have started this post before (Mr. Caddie, Andyson, and others) I would like to share with some of WGT's less fortunate of 2017.

    Thank you to everyone who has given in the past and to those who will share this year. A special thanks goes out to the Bushwhackers that have ben blessing all year long.

    I would like to challenge  all the CC owner or members to give a gift  during this season to our old or new friends that are in need.

    Thank you in advance. As a member of MEGA I would like to offer the first 1500 credits.

     Good for you SB. I too believe it is better to give than to receive. I was one of the original old timers who turned this into a WGT treasure every year. Wayne, Dennis and many others took it over the moon and made it so special. Opy was instrumental in having Christmas in July. So many generous members gave their time and money to help others. What seems to happen with the best things in life happened to this. It was abused, trolled by the same people who wanted something every day, false woe is me stories to prey on so many willing to give. Keep a close eye out for the real and the fake. It doesn't always work, but if you get to know someone on WGT enough you can make an accurate decision. If it is in your heart to give, then please do so. And may you and your loved ones have the best of Holidays.

    Old Squirrel Nutz.

    Yes many WGT members made and will make this a great thing.  Here is a little poem I but together last year in honor of MRCADDIE.   Hope you enjoy 

     

     ‘Twas the night before Santa s give away, when all thro’ the house,
    Not a WGT player was stirring, not even their mouse;
    The clubs were all nestled in the bag with great care,
    In hopes that MRCADDIE soon would be there;
    The golf balls were snuggled secure in their sleeves,
    While visions of birdies flew past the weeds,
    And Mama in her ‘kerchief, and I in my golf cap,
    Had just settled our PC down for a long winter’s nap-
    When out on my I Pad there arose such a rash,
    I sprang from the bed to see another Country Club Clash.
    Away to my Laptop I flew like a drive,
    Quickly turned on the power, in hopes I could thrive.
    The moon on the breast of a new WGT day,
    Gave the lustre of new irons a look my way;
    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But a message the server was busy that bought on a tear,
    With a new message in the forums so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment it must be MRCaddie playing St. Nick.
    More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and did not call them by name:
    “Now! Ton Paul, now! TC, now! you, and you,
    “On! wgt, on! wgt, on! Maintenance and Update;
    “To the top of the forum you should Bump!
    “Now post away! Post away! Post away all!”
    As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly,
    When we meet with an obstacle, rant to the sky;
    So up to the main forum the coursers they flew,
    With the messages full of please give me this club or ball:
    And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
    The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
    As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
    Down the gifts they came with a bound:
    He was dress’d all in fur, from his head to his foot,
    And his clothes were all tarnish’d with fescue and soot;
    A bundle of clubs was flung on his back,
    And he look’d like a caddie just opening his pack:
    His eyes - how they twinkled! his dimples how merry,
    His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;
    His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
    And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
    The stump of a tee he held tight in his teeth,
    And the grass it encircled his head like a wreath.
    He had a broad face, and a little round belly
    That shook when he laugh’d, like a bowl full of jelly:
    He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
    And I laugh’d when I saw him in spite of myself;
    A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
    Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
    He spoke not a word, but went straight to my Ipad,
    And fill’d all me with new clubs; I was so glad,
    And laying his finger aside of his nose
    And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
    He sprung to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
    And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle:
    But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight-
    Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good game.

    That's awesome! Great for the community and everyone involved. So to get the gifts do we just claim them? or how does it work exactly?

    Sportsrock

    And all others that send request for gifts please be specific on the gift you want

    for example: Cally level 33 putter or Nike 60 red vapor balls.

    We can't guarantee you'll get it but you'll have a better chance. Someone once asked for  (white BES) and  because they were only 10 credits per sleeve, he was sent 10 sleeves.

    And thanks, CEverett12 for our offer of a sleeve of their choice. I'll try to keep a running tally of all who gave and to whom they it to for everyone  to see so there aren't any duplicates

    And thank you everyone for your help and support.
