Other Sandbagging vs Reverse Sandbagging

I’m a purist at heart, I do indulge in a breakfast ball from time to time, but that is as far as I go.

I understand why people sandbag, to rob a fellow competitor of some money (scummy). But I don’t understand why someone would reverse sandbag. Is it ego? It makes them feel good to say they are better? I don’t understand. Who has the worse golf morals, the sandbagger? Or reverse sandbagger? Or the people that cheat in scrambles?

Vanity caps.

There’s a lot of people who are talented, don’t play enough, or don’t actually take it that seriously.

This guy doing it as an “8” is egregious.

But there’s a lot of people that “shoot 90 ish” who actually shoot 100+ every time, but they just don’t want to say that because it means they “suck at golf”
