In addition to the 200 likes the tweet received on Twitter, Niewola will receive gifts including a Fujifilm smartphone printer, some exclusive Golfdom gear and the honor of being Golfdom’s first tweet of the year.

A Williamsburg, Va. native, Niewola sent out the tweet of the year during his first week on the job at Sherwood.

“(It was) just a tweet to let people know I moved,” he said. “When you guys posted my tweet as the tweet of the month, I heard from a bunch of old friends who told me they saw it and thought it was great and were happy to see I had a new job.”

“It’s going great at Sherwood. It’s January and it’s 75 degrees outside,” he said.
