Back in the 90's many of us were all in every dubs round at Brewer but not everyone paid, we just let it go. We didn't call it 51 yet, it was just an agreement that an ace was worth 5 bucks, back at the old layout an ace actually meant something. Now I see a load of 200 foot holes that just make me feel like I have little t-rex arms.

I guess things are different here in MN, because "51" is ALWAYS in play. I remember the first time I hit metal and my group told me that was a buck from everyone. They also warned me that if I accepted a dollar from everyone I was in for life no questions. Word gets around about the guys who don't pay or forget to pay pretty quick. Most of the guys who don't pay are the type of players that no one wants on their card.
May the bogey God's seek vengence on those who do not pay after they have accepted a 51 payout!

In STL, the "51 Club" is in effect at all times once you have accepted cash for the first time. If you don't want to be part of the "51 Club", then don't accept cash the first time you hit metal in front of some members and they all start digging in their wallets. I would say 90% of people join the club when they are given the option, but there are also some stubborn old pros that don't want anything to do with it. That is fine. To each their own. There is also the option of turning off the "51 Club" option, as a group, before the round starts. This is a viable option at a couple of our local courses (White Birch comes to mind) because the holes are all basically pitch-n-putts. Most people, however, roll the dice and just go with it anyway.
There is nothing worse than forgetting to announce that the "51 Club" is in effect before the round and then being the first person to hit metal. That is why we made it an understood agreement that doesn't need to be announced.

It's the same around here. If you've accepted the 5 bucks before then you gotta pay up. It's always on.

If you make it to MN for a round and play with any locals, you'd better have brought your wallet. Otherwise you'll be known as that Bunk dude from ______ that stiffed me on 51...

If there is an ace pot, then I don't pay $5, but I will always pay $1 for metal, and $5 for an ace when there is no ace pot. I don't expect to get paid if I do it, so it is a nice bonus when I do, and there are no hard feelings if I don't. It's just a few bucks after all. Nothing to get upset about.

If you have ever accepted money for metal or for an ace, then YES!!! Don't anger the bogey God's.

If I am bowling with someone, and I witness him get a strike, do I owe him $5 or does this only apply to DG? What if he gets a spare?.. Is it a dollar?
