Please don't take this the wrong way, but in our club you wouldn't have a friend. We have a guy like that here and he can't get anyone to play along with him anymore. When there is no money on the line he will shoot 105-115. As soon as there is a tournament or men's league he shoots 85-95.

Whether it is right or wrong, if you come in and play well above your handicap when money is on the line people are going to say things and when it is done on a regular basis people will just expect you to be a sandbagger even if you are not. It happens to often on the golf course and in bowling leagues.

Doesn't sound like this is the case for him, more of a beginner that posted from the beginning, your handicap doesn't magically drop the second you improve it comes down gradually as he posts better scores.
