I played in a Saturday and Sunday money game for several years (usually between 12-20 guys with a block of tee times - and not big $$$, each guy contributed $20 to the pot), and one of the rules we had was that the only rounds that counted in your index used for our game were those money game rounds. And if you were new to the group, you had to play 5 rounds before you established our version of your index. That definitely put a damper on sand-bagging. So if you have a league you are starting, you might consider starting to track just what people are shooting in your league games in case you do want to implement a net at some point.
That's a good idea. I only had 9 players in this group, so the pot was only 180, I paid 20.00 to the low gross winner and the rest of the 160 was in the skins pot. Skins ended up being 32 each so it was a good day. If all the skins get cut, then the pot will roll to the following weekend. I also limited the group to 7 handicaps or less.
If a players wants to come out and join us, he just needs to realize that its straight up, no handicaps. Also, all putts have to be holed, no gimmes, not even from 3".
The main idea behind the formation of this group was to help players get better by playing true tournament type rounds. There are only about 15 -20 of us at my club that continually complete against one another. There are some out liars that can post some low rounds but they are few and far between.
