We are considering modifying the rules for the second half to change the current policy for matches with absent teams. 

Currently, a random drawing is done after the round and it's luck of the draw for both the absent team (neither team member shows) and the team that played.  Many leagues give absent teams a set number of points or cap the maximum points an absent team can earn (say 80% of half the points, 17 for us). 

Also, instead of drawing random players in the case of an absent team, some leagues do a ghost team.  The ghost team shoots some predetermined net score - like net 39 say.  For example, if one of the missing players is a 5 handicap, he shoots a 44.  His scores are bogeys on the 8 toughest handicap holes and a par on the easiest hole.  Using this method, the team that is playing the absent team knows what it has to do to get points so it at least gives them a match.

We'll throw around some ideas and try and come up with the best solution for everyone.
