It’s frustrating to see this happen. Many clubs have their rules in place, but enforcement can be inconsistent. What do others think? Are current measures effective?
Sandbagging really dampens the spirit of competition, especially when it skews results. Ethically, we should all strive for a fair game, right?
Absolutely! It seems some players take advantage of lenient handicapping systems. Shouldnt associations be stricter?

Many golf associations try to combat sandbagging by adjusting handicaps but it often feels like a game of whack-a-mole. The real issue is fostering a culture of honesty and integrity on the course.
Well said! Maybe local clubs could hold workshops or seminars to emphasize ethical play? It might help.
Funny enough, I once thought sandbagging was just a term for keeping golf bags off the cart to save room! But, turns out it’s much more serious. It just shows the importance of understanding the rules!

Haha! That’s a good one! But it’s true, knowledge is power in golf, and clear guidelines on what constitutes sandbagging could help.

Reflecting on this topic, I think it goes beyond rules; it’s about respect for fellow golfers and the game itself. Sandbagging can damage relationships, making it crucial to address within clubs.
