Hog Press

The 'Hog Press' of Norfolk is a closing ‘double or nothing’ bet placed against an opponent prior to playing the final hole of the round. It can only be placed by the team (or individual) who irrefutably lost bet(s) made through the second to last hole. Bet(s) still undecided heading into the final hole do not factor. The Hog Press can’t be denied and its value is equivalent to the total amount lost, no more or no less. To ‘win’ the Hog Press you must win the final hole outright. A win by the team who placed the Hog Press results in no obligation to pay the press value however a loss requires payment equal to double the press value. A tie results in payment of the original value. There’s no such thing as a baby hog press, a guinea pig, etc, that’s for pussies.
