Franklin TV: Putter Day, 2025

A New Year’s Tradition Since – umm…

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 12/29/2024

I first wrote about Putter Day back in 2014. I went public. My ersatz (albeit highly productive and satisfying) holiday actually goes back much farther. The stencil font says it all. As I have noted, Putter Day is industrial strength.

In Nov we gave thanks. In Dec we made merry. Now in Jan – time to get down to it. We can spend any other day of the year putting things off, postponing, delegating, yada-yada, but Putter Day It's not about delegating. It's about the joy of doing. So, let the puttering and doing commence.

Truly inveterate, work-hardened putterers begin this most earnest day of days at first light. You step out your front door and squarely face the day. Clutching that to-do list, you declare – loudly – unabashedly, “This day is mine. I shall prevail.” Note: A bullhorn makes for a nice touch.

Putter Decor:
The Duct Tape Wreath – It can be your first Putter Day Project – a nod to duct tape as that grand unifying force for all things great and small in the Universe.

The Putter Day Sacrificial Induction Ceremony: ( for beginners ) Accidentally hit a thumb, forefinger or other body part with a hammer. ( Or anything handy/hard/heavy that you tried to deploy as a hammer. ) If you ended up in the emergency room – Bonus!

Walk tall. my friend. ( Or limp as need be. )

Putter Day Gift Guide: Easy! Tools. Any tools... or duct tape. First Aid kit – A thoughtful stocking stuffer that shows you care.

Advanced Putter Day activities: Anything to do with Ikea Instructions. 

On this Putter Day – hold thy head and hammer high, my friend.

And – as always –
