I dont get how he is a sandbagger. He just uses a different strategy to play in tourney's. That would be like saying I have to use my driver every hole I can at the Morgan Cup. It's just strategy. Handicap is potential to score to me and without his driver he is scoring to his potential.

He is shooting just over 50% of his handicap without the driver. Handicaps are created using the 10 best rounds out of the last 20 rounds (at least for GHIN). That should mean that shooting below handicap would be a fairly heavy struggle more than 50% of the time, and yet he appears to be doing it with ease 100% of the time.

If I were to define his 'potential to score' based on his established handicap, it would include his driver. 10 may be his 'potential to score without a driver' but removing that for more success ONLY when it counts negates the handicap he's taken the time to develop. IMO.
