Description

Every golf club has a sandbagging story. The 26 handicap who miraculously shoots 85. The 12 who flirts with even par. It is the rare handicap event in which certain golfers are  better than advertised, which is great news for their partners, and a source of outrage for everyone else. In this episode of Local Knowledge, host Daniel Rapaport dives into the complicated world of the sandbagger, including some of the tactics they employ to game the handicap system to their advantage. At the other end of the spectrum, we also look at vanity handicappers who turn out to be worse than their number suggests. It’s a lighthearted, half-hour immersion into the gossip that dominates grill rooms across America.
