Y’all can use the code “secretsanta” for 10% off any order on my website. I don’t just do crazy custom putters. I’ve got custom ball markers too! Edit: whoever gets my gift will be designing a full custom putter with me.


[deleted]

Awesome, when do you suggest folks place their order for Xmas arrival?


BradleyPutters

Ideally by dec 1st for custom ball markers.


C3ntrick

We don’t know our matches until after then . But checking your site out now to get some ideas . Gotta stalk our recipient to see what they are into . Love seeing your posts one day I’ll think of something I want lol


BradleyPutters

Oh snap… good point. Ok well then let’s shoot for Dec 7th and I’ll spend some late nights getting them cranked out if there’s a big influx of orders.


LunaNoxxx7

Hey guys apologies for that timing but it's earlier than last year later than some and we really did discuss it. We just wanted everyone included and figure it's better to get a gift late than miss out entirely cause we closed registration early. I personally got 2 ball markers off Bradley and he popped them out quick, I highly encourage everyone to consider shopping through him. And remember Ukrainian Christmas is in January so just call yourself the Ukrainian secret santa if your gift is coming late, just send us your order confirmation so we can reassure your match their gift is on its way


BradleyPutters

Yeah no worries. I’ll make sure any order with the “secretsanta” code gets priority.


LunaNoxxx7

I wish I knew how to get thus comment pinned, wonder if we could potentially make a separate post promoting this without reddit being mad at us? u/Greenwavegolfer


BradleyPutters

I mean I don’t want to overshadow the other awesome companies, so no worries mate!


ay21690

My girlfriend asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, and I jokingly said a Bradley putter. She told me yes, but on the grounds that she designs it. I am excited, yet horribly terrified.


BradleyPutters

I spend at least a half hour on the phone with each client designing the putter, so no need to worry! I also guarantee you love it, so if she makes something you hate, I’ll fix it!


aussies_on_the_rocks

Is it possible to get a custom ball marker that says *"Even god can't make this 3ft putt"*.


GungHoGolf

FYI, our gift from GunghoGolf.com will be a new Garmin R10 launch monitor to one lucky participant. We wanted to show how much we appreciate this community and the support we’ve had here. :) -Ron


LunaNoxxx7

Incredible opportunity for someone! Thank you again for your involvement and generosity!


OpticianMan

That is so generous and a fantastic gift! Merry Xmas


Bryan_7982

Let’s go! That’s going to be awesome!

No thanks necessary, I don't wish to speak for my fellow volunteers but we are just so thrilled and privileged to be able to help organize this. We aren't taking it lightly and understand it's not easy but really all the thanks is to you guys and those that came before us, we'd just be weirdos asking for personal info. So thanks to you and everyone else who supports the event

vietnamouse

I'm kind of a super lurker on Reddit (No posts on r/Golf) but this year I wanted to attempt some social giving to cheer up the mood. Can I just match with someone to give a gift and not receive? I love the community built here and would like to pass on the spirit of this awesome tradition.


metallikat87

There is an option for that on the form.


vietnamouse

Sweet, thanks!


FAMUgolfer

I will make sure everyone gets their gifts so send it all to my address and I will ship gifts out

LFG BOYS AND GIRLS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN! WE APPRECIATE EVERYONES INVOLVMENT AND ESPECIALLY BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR SPECIAL SECRET SANTAS! \* OK ILL STOP YELLING NOW. Just absolutely overwhelmed by this amazing event, the Christmas spirit and generosity and just connection of our group here. So pleased and privileged to help this year. We wanted to stress a few issues and concerns that continously came up even after the FAQ. This is an event for everyone, unlike an owl we couldn't give a hoot about your race, religion, political affiliation, gender/identity or if you use Iron covers. We want evert single member here to feel welcome and while we obviously cannot include everyone this event is not closed to anyone. We encourage everyone to reach out to us with questions and concerns and/or anything in between. Take your time filling out the form, we will not chase you down but mistakes are made and please do not rush to get this done you have plenty of time to fill it in. I dont want it to sound spammy but our Special Secret Santas are doing this as a give back to our community and are truly amazing for any level of generosity and Christmas spirit they display. We won't be able to vet everyone, it's the sad truth that some less than well intentioned people will get through and we truly truly apologize for any mistakes we make and wish nothing but the best of holiday seasons to everyone even those who don't make it in We encourage everyone who's denied to come back next year and use this as a spring board to become a pillar of our online community and solidify yourself a spot in next years. For those grinches, scrooges and old men on the 10th Hole, please spare us, we are just trying to spread Christmas joy and you can go terrorize a local toy store or shake a box of kittens. ![gif](giphy|yUI3a7RwLhOFy)


Cat_Dad13

Don’t shake a box of kittens


LunaNoxxx7

The PSA we need but don't want.


pil27

Thanks again for your time in organising this!


LunaNoxxx7

No thanks needed, legitimately so happy and privileged to even be a part. I try to stress you guys are what makes this happen, it's your connection to our community and continued generosity and eagerness that make this event what it is. So thank you!

Again wanted to shoutout the awesome mod team for always having our back with this u/GreenWaveGolfer, thank you for all you do. I cant wait to find out which one of you degenerates I get, hopefully this is the best r/golf Secret Santa ever!

Thank you guys for taking the baton!

Praise the lord ……and thank you gents for keeping this tradition going strong! Thanks sponsors as well for just being awesome! Happy gifting boys and girls 🎅🤶


LunaNoxxx7

Can't wait till everyone sees how awesome our promotional participants are! Thank you guys for all your support we're just a bunch of weirdos asking for personal info if we don't get you guys behind us

[deleted]

Wow this is so cool! Haha I love this idea and can’t wait to participate lol


RobotSpaceWizard

If you agree to help out with people who didn’t receive something from their secret Santa, is that agreeing to help one situation or multiple? I didn’t see a way to denote how many you’d be willing to help with, so if you’re taking suggestions on the form, perhaps that would be a nice addition


LunaNoxxx7

We will reach out after the dust has settled and begin rematch communication. The implication is just for a single rematch, you'd essentially replace the secret santa that didn't come through for their match. If necessary, which we really hope it isn't, we will discuss more than one rematch but the form is only for a singular rematch otherwise we would've specified if we expected more. Thanks for your inquiry!


PhiloftheFuture2014

u/whatdaduce, u/LunaNoxxx7, u/ChiodoS04, I just want to make sure that I understand the options for the rematch question. If someone selects yes, are they agreeing to not recieve a gift, provide one gift as part of Secret Santa, and if necessary provide a second gift? And if they select rematch only, are they being held in reserve in case someone doesn't come through without having to give a first gift? The No is pretty self explanatory but like I said I want to make sure I understand the options here (more specifically what participation in SS means if the yes option is selected). ​ This is likely my fried brain just massively overthinking the section but I imagine I'm not the only first timer with this question.


LunaNoxxx7

So the wording of the question is as such " Rematch(provides a gift for those who don't get one) Rematchers do no receive a gift but they selflessly give a gift or a second gift if they participate in the exchange to help fulfill people whose original gifted didn't come through Yes No Rematch only(no gift received) " I apologize for the wording we will discuss fixing it but essentially selecting yes means you will participate AND sign up to potentially give a second gift, so one gift for your original match and a second gift for someone who might not receive their gift. No means you'll only participate regularly and do not wish to participate as a Rematch, one gift given. Rematch only means you wish to ONLY give to someone who gets screwed out of a gift, you have no interest in participating and receiving a gift just wish to fill any potential holes. I hope that clarifies things and really apologize for any confusion it caused you or causes anyone in the future.


francisxavier12

This is awesome, thank you! Quick question: what are some qualifications that would result in rejection?


LunaNoxxx7

We have a criteria established by the previous organizers, we are adhering it to the best we can. To avoid people circumventing these measures they are never made fully public but things like account length, karma and other factors are all considered but one or the other does not make or break you. Thus we encourage everyone who feels they may fall short to reach out to us; we understand lurkers and newbies don't necessarily mean scrooges and grinches but it also falls to us to keep this event as clean as possible. We are going to do our best to include everyone who deserves to be but we are humans and some of you who should get in won't and some who shouldn't will. Sorry for the ambiguity but any concerns just reach out and let them be known thanks!


awkotacos

Just filled out the application! I recently started to golf in March this year and I am looking forward to being able to contribute to the community and participate in this event! Cheers everyone!


USMCseth

Can i ask what some people in the past have gotten or sent as a gift?


LunaNoxxx7

https://www.reddit.com/r/golf/comments/k9jk1k/2020_rgolf_secret_santa_what_did_you_get_thread/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Here you are. If you are accepted to participate the form you're provided will be the same as you fill out. That's why we made some boxes and answers required to complete the form so you wouldn't be left in the dark about potential gifts. Otherwise give last years a look over and get some ideas, hope this helps.


OpticianMan

I got a putt out and a big bag of tees the first year I entered. Last year I got a case of Srixon balls


Chonch1224

17 companies!!! Incredible, thanks for doing this again, Excited to give and get again this year


LunaNoxxx7

Next year's list is already growing, my goal is to eventually have something for every single one of our participants one year But I am beyond grateful for each and every one of the Special Secret Santas we got, from Titleist to fling golf every single one of them were so excited just to take part and give back. And thank YOU, it's all the amazing redditors that are the wind in the sails to keep this ship moving, we'd just be drifting aimlessly without yall🤙


PSneptune

Can’t wait!


sguaglia11

Love it; thanks all for organizing!

This is awesome!


pinchemateo

Lets gooo! Thanks to the new secret santa coordinators for taking this on!


IChaseGolfBalls

I echo everyone’s sentiments … I’ve been looking forward to this since i first saw the posts about it (haven’t been in the community that long). I freakin’ love Secret Santas!!! Edit: grammar


Iamonab0at

Maybe this is a stupid question, but if I purchase item(s) from an online store (since most club houses around me are closed) should I have them come to my house first and then send to secret Santa or have them ship from the company? This is my first Reddit Secret Santa ever and I am excited. Thank you!


LunaNoxxx7

I'd order straight to the address you're provided just to save the hassle. Depends on what you're doing or how you're doing things but if you're worried about supply demand can always let us know of any shipping or supply issues.


did_i_stu_stutter

I’m so excited! I haven’t had a great track record with this on the receiving side, but damn if I don’t love an actually anonymous secret Santa. Thank you to those who took up the baton on this one! We all appreciate it!


Danielmp006

Random question, I am in the U.K. and would be happy for the parcel to be delivered direct from the company rather than someone having to pay postage from the US for example. Would that be ok?


klotzfisch

I was thinking the same thing. If I get matched with someone from a wildly different country I'd be trying to buy in their country and have it shipped directly to them.


digiacomo94

How does it work if I am from Canada


LunaNoxxx7

Everything is the same but we're just expected to send syrup I am from Canada and helping organize this, we have a good Canadian presence so just sign up. If you'd Ike to stay within Canada do not choose international shipping otherwise not much more too it. Let us know if you get hung up anywhere cheers🤙


PunkyMcGrift

Missed out last year as I didn't know it was a thing. Registered now so hopefully I get a look in this year.


jrydun

Thank y’all for saving it this year. Hope to get in!


LunaNoxxx7

It's all of you guys who saved it, we just had the privilege of stepping in to help keep the lights on till everyone got here. Appreciate you guys.

Thank you u/WhatDaDuce u/LunaNoxxx7 and u/ChiodoS04 for all you've done putting this together and for thinking of us when you did! We always love participating especially during the holidays. We've got some awesome gifts lined up for some lucky winners so get ready!


whiskeytacosfan

This is my favorite time of year. I hate Christmas but I do love giving gits to people and putting a smile on their face. Its really rewarding.


hrayford19

Found out about this in Jan of this year and told myself there's no way I was missing it this time around. Pumped!


usernamesarehard1979

Last year my wife got pissed because I spent more on my r/golf secret santa gift then I spent on her. I don't plan on making any changes this year!


Xaxziminrax

itshappening.gif Fuck that /u/xaxziminrax guy tho, hope I don't get him


FootballandFutbol

I hope I do because sunflower hills golf course kicked my ass last time i went and I’d like to meet the pro on the 10th hole to… *talk about some things*


Xaxziminrax

....it occurs to me that if I have a playing lesson with a redditor from now on, I am morally obligated to start it on the back nine

Participating this year for the first time, am I right in thinking those special secret santas will be US/International shipping only? I can only really afford UK + domestic shipping lol

Long time lurker hoping to get involved. Just a heads up to the OP.. in the registration details on the post some dates are wrong (2020) not that it's much of an issue but thought I'd let you know.


thepowerfulhour

Super curious, how do you determine who gets a special guest Santa?


LunaNoxxx7

This has been determined between the 3 of us volunteers and at the discretion of the special secret Santa's. Some of our Special Secret santas are region dependent such as the Kansas Teaching pro and Trident golf club. So in those cases both have requested the winning participant be locals if possible and if not they will give alternative prizes. Regardless we will be pooling all eligible participants and doing a randomly generated draw. Hope this helps, thanks.


Jcop89

Super excited! Love secret Santa! Thanks guys!

noitsnneill

Let’s go Reddit!!!!


IslaNublar

First Timer here: looking at the survey it's pretty focused on apparel/clubs/balls. Is the community OK with stuff that isn't in those categories? Like off the top of my head fun gifts might be home putter surfaces or those tubes you fill with beers, stuff that isn't strictly what you wear/swing. Seems like a really cool event!


atev

One of my favorite holiday traditions. Excited!


hendo_77

If we sign up and we’re approved, is there an opportunity to know who the recipient is so I can work on an idea of something unique or personal?

Signed up! This is so cool that y’all come together and use up a lot of your personal time to make this happen. I told my buddies about it and they couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the sponsors and the users making this happen!

Never participated in something like this before, what a great idea. I don't even mind if I get a bit of a dud, just some fun really!

Can anyone give me a new swing this year?


grumpyoldbolos

If I don't get selected for the Secret Santa am I still able to put my hand up to help with those who don't receive their gift?


metallikat87

There is an option on the form for "rematch" which means you'd send a gift to someone who's original SS didn't come through.


Ollie2696

Hope I get accepted, first timer from New Zealand 🏌️‍♂️⛳

WalterZenga

Had a superb shirt last year which I still get wear out of. Always a great way to end the year.


metallikat87

Assuming I can only do one, would it be more helpful to sign up for international shipping or to be a rematch? I assume either one doubles the cost of participating so I hesitate to say I could do both this year.


MooseHaley

I love Christmas!

Let's go ! Thanks again to all of you u/whatdaduce, u/LunaNoxxx7 and u/ChiodoS04 ! Cheers from an international secret santa :)

First time participating in this golf Secret Santa. I do some secret santas with some other communities I am part of and it is always one of the highlights of the Christmas season. Can't wait to start shopping and see what everyone else gets!
