re: Once a cheater always a cheater?

If you ever play for bucks and I'm not talking a 'friendly' game with your friends, but I mean a game with hundreds or thousands of dollars on the line, you better know your rules, because they are there to help you kick the arse off of someone who doesn't know the rules well. You call a guy on something in a game like that, and it cost him strokes, the likelihood of him getting smoked by you just increased ten-fold because all he's going to be thinking about is how pissed off he is at you and he's not going to be thinking about his game. Even better, if you know the rules and you call someone on the rules and that person refuses to agree with you and doesn't penalize himself... big mistake. The club pro will know the rules and at our club we have a rules committee to settle disputes. If the guy is ruled against and then refuses to pay up, the club can sanction the player and basically his name is dirt among the members.
