I run a Pro/Am (assuming enough Pros show up) doubles weekly.
If we have an extra Pro, then they play Cali (one extra shot per hole). This usually works out well, as the Cali player seems to cash if they play well and not cash if they don't. Its not a sure thing either way.
Since its Pro/Am, we let the odd man play as their own doubles partner if they are an Am. This doesn't work out quite as well, since this player has only cashed once when they shot really well. Its still a lot better than Am Cali, which would probably eliminate a chance at cashing for most Ams.
I like the triples idea, and might start using it for Ams if they outnumber the Pros and the numbers work out right.
