Bottom line is, play 18 holes in under 4 hours and people will love you and want to play with you. If money is involved, the rules will be invoked even for a quarter. It's just the way it works.
2010, The first time I played with a group of 8 that informed me it was a money game, I was excited. Had a bunch of $5, 10, 20s in my pocket that was the norm bet back home. Did want to be rude and ask bet amount

I won by 15 strokes, then proceeded to collect 6 quarters, 3 dimes, 3 nickels and 4 pennies. Good thing I won, because nobody had change for a $5.
