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.

It doesn't sound like the people at your club are very understanding, amateurs, which by majority we most are, could shoot a 79 one day and then a 99 the next, that's what makes us amateurs, but like I said before as long as all the scores are going into your handicap then it shouldn't matter what and when you shoot!
