Any way to check the audits for an average score? Throw an extra 20% on that and you have at least a baseline to test.

If you can, set the replay value to the PAR score so the knocker goes off when they get to the score.

I agree with this, in that it's a little hard to make things balanced so they are tough but fun. Might want to make this one a little on the easier side and then adjust things for next time. If a game had too many 1's, up the score a little next time. Too many 5's, bring it down.

There was a pingolf event here a few months ago that was done really well. Scores were spot on, but there was another interesting thing done. Players were paired up by drawing names out of a hat. They shared a score card and could ensure things were proper. Won't rule out anything 100% this way, but the risk goes down quite a bit. Another option is to have players cradle up when they hit the score and wait for the score keeper. If they get it in bonus, or drain before getting a cradle, a ball sitting in the shooter lane is a decent indication that they did it on the previous ball. Again, not 100% safe, but your group might not need to be watched over as closely.

Goal based PAR scores can be a bunch of fun. I did one on my Ice Fever where you had to get 3 backbox animation goals. Playing that game for points is "lit spinner all day." Making that a goal machine made everyone do something new to them and was pretty fun.
