I apologize to those of you that tried to get in late last week. If we have any last minute cancellations, I will let you know.
The foursomes will be announced at the event and I am still working on transportation.

The Dave Sasson Winter Festival
Where: Lake Chabot in Oakland
When: Saturday - Feb. 20 8:30 am
Who: You
What: See Below
Cost: ~$45 which includes greens fee, alcohol and prizes.
Tee times cannot be confirmed until a week ahead of time but I am hoping to get three time starting at 9:00. Rules will be explained again before the round by the two committee members: Dave Sasson and Kevin Jeffery.
PLEASE RSVP by Thursday - Feb 11th!
We are working on appropriate transportation so we are sure this is a safe event.
The Dave Sasson Winter Festival Rules
Rule #1: A beer is defined as 12 fluid oz. of beer in an aluminum can
Rule #2: This is an individual tournament so nobody can bring their sandbagging wife as a partner and win the tournament
Rule #3: All drinking is completely optional
Rule #4: The max you can get on a hole is 10
Rule #5: Put everything out
Basic Scoring
All players fall into 1 of 2 groups
Group #1: Handicaps <14
Beer “Value” = The # beer consumed x -1
Example: Your 2nd beer consumed is worth 2 x -1 = -2 strokes off your total
At the end of each nine, each player will count the number of strokes they have taken and subtract the number of beers they have consumed.
Example: If a player in group #1 consumes 3 beers on the front nine he would have a total stroke discount of -6
- Beer #1 = -1 stroke
- Beer #2 = -2 strokes
- Beer #3 = -3 strokes
Total Stroke Discount = -6.
IMPORTANT: The beer count starts over at the end of nine so the first beer consumed on the back nine is counts as beer #1 regardless of how many beers you had on the front nine.
Group #2: Handicaps >14
Beer “Value” = (The # beer consumed + 1) x -1
Example: Your 2nd beer consumed is worth (2+1) x -1 = -3 strokes off your total
At the end of each nine, each player will count the number of strokes they have taken and subtract the number of beers they have consumed.
Example: If a player in group #1 consumes 3 beers on the front nine he would have a total stroke discount of -6
- Beer #1 = -2 stroke
- Beer #2 = -3 strokes
- Beer #3 = -4 strokes
Total Stroke Discount = -9.
BONUS SCORING
Chug and Rip
There will be two pre-selected par 3s that provide the player the opportunity to shotgun a beer for a bonus point to your stroke total.
Example: If a player from group #1 was to decide to take the Chug and Rip challenge and that chugged beer was his third that beer would be worth -4 instead of -3.
NOTE: One of the big advantages of taking the “Chug and Rip” challenge is your opportunity to kill a beer quickly and get compensation for doing so.
Shot Putt (aka the great equalizer)
On each nine, a player will provided the option of announcing on the tee that this will be his “Shot Putt” hole. The physical act is quite simple – take a shot before you take your first put.
However, the reward for exercising this option is quite substantial.
For any beer finished on the hole in which you perform your shot put, you will be able to multiply the stroke value of that beer or beers by 2.
Example: If a player from group #2 finishes his third beer on the shot put hole, he will receive 8 stokes off his score … -4 x 2 = -8
NOTE: The shot will be determined by the committee the day of the event.
Dave Sasson Economics
For those players looking to maximize the value of their alcohol consumption, the player should elect to take his “Shot Putt” hole on the “Chug and Rip” hole.
Here is what the scoring would look like if a player from group #2 took his “Shot Putt” hole on the “Chug and Rip” hole and that chugged beer was his 4th beer of the nine.
4th Beer = -5
Chug and Rip Bonus = -1
Shot Put Multiplier = 2x
(-5 + -1) x 2 = -12 strokes
I look forward to seeing you all there
