How about only publishing scores to people once they've submitted? The high scores could be dicouraging people from submitting. When you have a monster 130 and the current top is 34, it all gets a bit depressing. Perhaps why there are so many one-time contributors.
By giving people their ranking after submission, you still get the competition (you can resubmit later with a better score), but more people might get involved. Public shame and ridicule is good for the soul.

No, bad idea to my opinion ! Not publishing real-time scores will greatly cause to suppress one of the greatest pleasure I have from playing golf : competing with some other player (not only the first one, fortunatly) ! Do not do that, please, it would become soooo boring... (just trying to reach an impossible goal !)
