Sandbaggers exists in every individual based sport. I've seen many a bowling league tipped by a Sandbagger. Where golf differs is that the formula may be consistent but it's less of an average and is based solely on the lowest rounds/scores posted. They consider it a measure of potential rather than straight average base.

Some golf tournaments I have played in try to levy that by using a percentage (75% seems very common) of a players handicap.

Where those 18-20 handicappers are probably getting shorted in the tournament is (this is a guess but sort of where I am at the moment) they have a couple of Better Than Normal rounds posted that influenced the handicap but they aren't playing to that score consistently yet (yup. That's me).
