Description: ”Play Skinnys”America’s $kin Game I have developed a unique golf competition, for which I have secured a “patent pending” and am seeking a premier organization or individual to partner with me in the development, marketing, and implementation of the concept. The three primary components 1 golf 2) gambling 3) charitable donations insures the concepts appeal to a wide cross section of the population, irrespective of age, income, profession, or region of the country. The target demographics include grandsons to grandfathers, grand daughters to grandmothers, laborers to CEOs, scratch golfers to 30 handicappers. I am including the abstract of the patent application in the body of this message, Abstract A system to accurately and effectively allow people to successfully compete against each other in tournament style golf competitions, without regard for geographic location, course of play, handicaps, or other discouraging factors. By using a formula to rate individual holes based on par and difficulty, this system will create a unified scoring system that can be utilized in local, regional, national, or worldwide competitions. This system can be used in games varying from 1 to 18 holes, with the option of sudden death playoffs. An online scoreboard can be enabled in a central registrar for players to check their statistics as well as view their position in the tournament. The central registrar will keep track of all data, including but not limited to: players; courses; hole difficulty levels; events; current, past and upcoming tournaments; records of games and players; and various records of membership and billing information. The tournament system is flexible enough to allow varying levels of play. A basic three Par-3 hole game will allow players with varying degrees of skill to compete on a more level playing field, while the more advanced 18 hole game will allow more professional players to challenge themselves and others. This system will also be able to keep track of a players skill progression over time, regardless of course, allowing them to see where they rank among other players. I look forward to your response.
