Sincere thanks to those who made this idea happen, especially mrcaddie and also my very own santa TWOMINUSONE, from whom I've received a putter I was in dire need of.
I also appreciate all the professional manners shown by the Santas despite some of the somewhat quirky nature of some would-be recipients. Having followed some of the Christmas in July threads, I've seen many personalities unraveled:
-some who chose to plainly ignore the criteria listed out by the Santas;
-some wanting the gifts despite them having similar clubs that are waaayyyy superior in their current bags (e.g. owners of Max clubs who still doesn't want to miss out on reaping the slightly low-calibered freebies for their own selfish benefits);
-some who still felt that two gifts weren't enough to 'help' them with this game despite only just starting out (this must put you Santas in some sort of a crisis LOL);
-and also not forgetting the 'humble' ones - some being a little TOO 'humble' in fact it seems they should win accolades for being stealth masters at using reverse psychology.
Despite all those, the Santas handled these in tasteful manners, rather than simply lash out at these individuals for their ill-mannered actions, and I must say I truly respect you Santas for such values.
Furthermore, kudos also to those who are at the other end of the spectrum of the scenarios I listed out above: some who honestly chose to step aside
despite fulfilling the criteria and instead let others have a go at the
freebies; and also one who stepped up to offer their own replacement gifts to help out a friend; the truly genuine good ones who should actually be on Santa's list :-)
