Played in a charity tournament, 4 man scramble, they told ever one to NOT bring golf balls. They supplied 6 golf balls for every team with a special logo on them. They went through all bags to varify no other balls in bags. The rule was you had to bring back at least 3 balls. BUT at the start you had to put a dollar amount on each ball. We put 20 bucks a ball down and lost 2 so we had to pony up an extra 40 bucks. I thought it was a fun way to see about keeping all honest and add a little extra for the high school golf teams. The thing that people were a little pissy about was the winners were pulled from a hat by starting number. I thought who cares it is for the golf team anyways. In the past winners gave it back any ways.
