Things you're most thankful for in golf this year | A Quick Nine

In golf, there are many traditions. One of them lives right here on PGA.com, where every year during Thanksgiving week, we ask our friends in PGA.com Facebook Nation (click here to join the masses!) to tell us: Golf-wise, what were you most thankful for this year?

Not surprisingly, we received a Thanksgiving dinner table's worth of fantastic answers -- a good thing, because when you think about it, we all have a lot to be thankful for.

Among many things, we're thankful for all of you who love golf as much as we do.
