My club posts tournament scores for players who compete without asking. I have no idea if you can go in and delete them though, but it seems like a better choice than letting someone sandbag.

UC, those should be posted as "tournament scores" in GHIN. See section 10-3 of the handicap manual. Sounds like his index should be adjusted down based on the procedures listed there. That's assuming the rating for the course isn't a high 60's number.

[UCBananaboy]

Yeah unfortunately our club is all about self-posting.

I looked through his scores and it is lol. Every "away" round is in the high 70s - low 80s.

I apologize for bitching about handicap all the time on the forums though because I know I do it A LOT.

That said, a 4 hcp shooting 70 is 1 in 385ish. Over 3 days in a row, those are some amazing odds.

A group of us are likely boycotting the member-member as a result.

Has anyone ever said anything to him about it?

Is he someone who thinks he's smarter than everyone else and that no one sees through it or does the joy of "winning" trump everything else?

Call Ship, have him come play as a 4 and play for big steaks.

Isn't there a thread on here that talked about how to video your swing for analysis? Shooting angle, ideal frames per second, light, etc?

Oh boy. Well I knew it was here somewhere!

The clubs I know of here, if you tried to sandbag as badly as that guy did there would be at minimum a year suspension from competition. People are very, very aware of each others' scores and making sure they get properly posted. I'm sure there is still some sandbagging going on but nothing that blatant.

Assuming 1 in 385 is correct, odds of this 3 days in a row is 1 in 57 million

What's the course rating?

And even with self posting there should be a mechanism to have a handicap reviewed and adjusted. An official inquiry to the pro by a group of you should start the process.

[UCBananaboy]

Course rating is 71.3 (par 71)

http://clubsg.skygolf.com/courses/sc...d.php?id=11994

And according to the USGA chart, he was 379:1 on one day to break his score as a 4 hcp by 5 shots. so (379:1)^3

[ReidLockhart]

So what DID the professional staff say? Or are they the kind of jokes that don't give two craps about anyone that isn't part of the good'old boys club?

[ReidLockhart]

followup question: As a Donald Ross club, does it have those tiny little "**** you" greens?
