Sandbagger


A J Ziggy

Recommended Posts

When was the last time you were called the sandbagger at a tournament?                                                                                                      For me, Nas Brunswick Maine. Played several tournaments in Florida as part of the Navy. I was a USGA three handicap leaving Florida. Played in the tournament at NAS Brunswick Maine,  straight up 62 for 4 days. Won that one, getting two strokes a day. Folks cried foul and I don't blame them. But the moose tracks on the Green probably aren't part of the USGA handicap system. LOL 😂 JMHO.

If you know your handi-cap is correct, the issue is with them. They didn't play well enough.

First off thank you for your service.  My son is a Navy Vet

 

I've certainly seen sandbaggers in my day but I've also played enough golf to know that anything can and will happen once.  It's when it happens more than once that my eyebrows rise.  I will say though that it's normally mid to high cappers - usually lower handicappers, like a 3, are more consistent.  

Driver: Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  R flex   - 44.25 

Fairways:  Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood  Alta CB red 65 R flex

Hybrid:  Ping G410  26 degree  Alta CB Red 70 R flex 

Irons: Ping G430  7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex 

Wedges:  Ping 195 S54, E58

Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat 

Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5”

Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls

 

While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball. I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course.  It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. 

I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.
