    Wgt created the sand baggers.before they got greedy, u had to be a certain tier, to get better equipment.  They changed it to levels. Now you can increase your level, get better equipment and stay lower tiered

    Clearly. But what is the purphose of sandbagging if not to get an advantage when playing? Better equipment, lower tiers. So I mean, the end game must be to win more rounds. And winning rounds means low scores, witch again leads to higher tiers, right? So I really don't see the point. Maybe other ten winning turnaments.

    Most sandbagging is just for advantages in coin rooms ans showdowns.  If you fell being sanded, look at players score avg.  Bet it's high, if any at all.  I know of a master tier with best equipment and an avg in mid 60s.  Definitely a bagger

    My two big bugbears are playing people who take nearly 45 seconds to play a shot - any shot. I mean hitting the ball off the tee for par 4s and 5s should be doable in 15 seconds tops - maybe 20 if there is a very strong cross wind. Likewise second shots on par 5s where you aren't going to reach the green.

    Even most approach shots don't need constipation levels of delay surely?

    My second bugbear are the players shooting ridiculously low scores on tournaments. I haven't worked out how this is done, but it clearly isn't by playing the game fairly.

    Sowester:

    people who take nearly 45 seconds to play a shot - any shot. 

    That used to bother me. One day it dawned on me that there may be a lot of people with physical handicaps who play this game, and it stopped bothering me much.
