Secret Santa

[Big Johnny69]

Seeing as how I did this last year with a few members and it was generally a hit, I thought why not put it on a grander scale.

Here are the guidelines:

1) If interested in participating, sign up in this thread. Unless the interest is through the roof, I will limit the number to 40. Deadline to sign up will be Dec 9th. That will give me a few days to sort out the names, and give everyone two weeks to shop and ship.
2) Limit to $20-$30 and the item has to be golf related.
3) Participant must be ready to ship their item if need be. The names will be drawn blind, and if someone outside the Ottawa area would like to participate people will have to be ready to ship their gift if need be.
4) I will draw names once the list is full or the deadline passes.
5) If you need to back out after committing, please notify me via pm before the deadline. After the deadline I'll assume everyone will follow through, because the names will be drawn.


Let the fun begin, first come first serve.

I'll be first, count me in.

Whoever ends up with Sillywilly is in for a treat. He had my name last year and trust me I was more than surprised when my gifts arrived.

Yes, you run the chance of getting a novelty gift but somehow I doubt he will do that. As I said, quite generous with his gift last year.

[Golfbum]

Depe, I hate you.

Now that is just not right. The way Sillywilly talks about you to me, sounds like true love

NO ONE was more surprized when the Secret Santa gifts arrived last year than I was

[Sakuraba]

Count me in.

[Big Johnny69]

List up to date. We still need more, but a pretty good response for having just posted it last night.

[sillywilly]

Was it just luck of the draw last year that I had RICK and RICK had me? Or was that by design cause all the secret santas (we call it secret hanuman in india) I've ever done, you don't get the guy who has you. That way you build a relationship with the person you bought for and the person that bought for you

[overswing]

sure , why not .. I'm in.

can it be something already in our posession such as a club or what not that we value at 20-30 bucks ?
no golf stores around here so i'd have to throw something together if i dont get down to ottawa soon.

But look at the fine relationship that has grown between the two of us since Christmas. I am now your Mentor, the guy you come to when you are having problems with women. life, golf swing etc etc.

You are the son I never had However that does not mean you are invited for Christmas Dinner

[big mac]

Rick--I love Silly Willy--he can come to my place for Xmas diner As long as he does not forget the gift. If I get him--I'm only shipping to his closest address

It can't be used golf balls---I have too many of them.

Yep, I think you kind of nailed why none of the ladies have signed up.
