I agree and without knowing all his scores can't make any opinion on him personally. But I am saying is that most people not knowing the situation would consider him a sandbagger. They won't know that he just started out and most wouldn't care. A 92 for a 31 handicap is impressive. I have an index of 14.7 and my average score is a 90.

You never know, the difference could easily be that the player didn't lose any golf balls. There is no way to tell why someone shot better than their handicap. Think about it, if a player usually loses 3 or 4 balls a round, or hits into hazards and has to take penalty strokes, has one of those days when he/she doesn't do either of those things, he/she could easily shoot 10-15 shots better than usual.

I think the people who just assume others are sandbaggers are no better than the people sandbagging. Too many variables to just claim something like that about another person. Just my opinion.
