Ideally, we will be able to grow our sponsorship to allow for runner-up prizes so there is a bit more incentive. What do other people think about limiting repeat winners? Certainly this would only be a problem in the veteran category, although judging from the number of excellent veteran golfers (including "newcomers" like Lars), I do not think repeat winners will be too much of a problem.
