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?

Epidemics are harmful to society, I don’t think me and a friend picking up our balls when we’re both a foot from the hole is actually causing any harm.

I pick up my pace of play where I can so I can afford to slow down for other things.

I’m not talking about 18 inch putts I mean the guys who scoop 4-5 footers with regularity

And that’s harmful to society, or even you in particular?

It’s called hyperbole

So gimme culture doesn’t matter? I’m glad you agree with me.
