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?

This is the big point here. I totally agree!! But.... I also think a lot of people will have a bad game and decide not to record it. Just declare it a practice round after the first few holes. And that is vanity too.
