SSGCI Competition Rules Announced



The executive committee of the SSGCI is pleased to announce the competition rules for upcoming SSGCI to be held August 1 thorough 3, 2008. There are three categories of competition: golf, eating, and drinking.


Golf Friday August 1, 2008 is the Sierra Nevada Skins Game. Traditional skins game rules apply, no handicapping. Stroke play scores will be kept for handicapping the stroke play round.


Saturday August 2, 2008 is the stroke play competition. Handicaps will be determined based on the previous day's play. A sponsor for this day is yet to be determined. Interest has been expressed by Absolut Vodka and by Stolichnya Vodka. Nominations are being accepted.


Sunday August 3, 2008 is the Isle of Jura Single Malt Scotch Best Ball Tournament. Two man teams will be compete in best ball format. This is true best ball, not captain's choice, so each player will play his own ball the entire round. Teams will be determined the day of the tournament. Individual handicaps will be based on the previous days score.


For all three days, the prize for winning is not having to smoke a grape flavored Swisher Sweet. Eating This year there will be 2 eating contests. The seafood contest will be held on the night we go eat seafood (duh). The winner will be the person who eats the most fried seafood items. The executive committee will adjudicate any disagreements over the size of various fried seafood items. The winner doesn't have to clean up his own puke.


The second eating contest will be held on the day we go to Hooters (.)(.) and will involve some sort of fried food at Hooters. Probably wings. The prize for the Hooters winner will also be not having to clean up his own puke.


Drinking The drinking title will be determined by the most eligible drinks drank. Eligible drinks must be from the sponsor of the following day's golf. Because some competitors may have endorsement deals that prevent them from drinking the sponsor's beverage, drinks within the same category will be allowed.


So on Thursday night, eligible drinks are any beer, on Friday night they are any any clear liquor (vodka, gin, tequila, etc.), and on Saturday night they are any whiskey. Any alcoholic drink (regardless of the sponsor) counts if consumed during a competitive golf round or at a restaurant. Drink totals are cumulative Thursday through Saturday (no competition on Sunday), so the drinking title will be awarded Sunday morning. The winner gets bragging rights until the next golf tournament.
