My friend!
It’s coming into the Christmas season and we are in hopes that you’re getting out to throw at least 1 round per week.
If not, at least practicing putting in a league or your garage.
Melissa and I got to go to an ugly sweater party and then play one of our favorite courses and sweat out some of the booze… 🤢🤣
(If you know what I mean, then you know what I mean)
We will be doing a Christmas giveaway so keep you eyes tuned into you inbox.
Now let’s get into it… 💗🥏⛳️.
