Sandbaggers/Best of Courses?

  Does anyone besides me realize that when we don't or anyone doesn't get credit on averages with these courses, that sandbaggers can take advantage of this and stay in lower tiers. I thought we wanted to keep them from doing that. These new courses that don't count don't help that. Just another way for them to hold themselves back.

  OMG don't bring up sandbaggers!! That's how the stupid VEM and all the tinkering by WGT got started. The game is worse for it.

  I believe you have it backwards.  Par on the front 9 is 45.  If they were counted as ranked rounds the persons average would go up, even on a good round.
