I have not. But it happens all the time it seems. I play in quite a few charity events this year and go into it looking at it for fun only. I dont care about the competition, because it is filled with sandbaggers and cheaters. They know who they are and do not need myself or anybody else to point it out to them. It seems as if the people that do this care a little too much.

It is the same in reverse. THe people that complain a lot about it complain a little too much. There was a thread on this forum months ago about someone willing and wanting to fight over something like this because he was right and they were wrong and wanted a personable apology despite his partner acting like a jerk. I think most people go into it with good intentions, but it only takes a few groups to ruin the event. And yet they do each and every one.

Look at it this way. Those that need to do it, or need to complain about it, are the ones that lack the security to just move past it and not enjoy it for just what it is. They are the same people that claim the longest drives, best scores, greatest clubs, and more on websites, yet when you play with them or invite them to play "they are always going through a swing change".

It happens and its a shame that a few ruin it for the rest of the honest golfers, but they are and always will be there.
Excellent points and right on the money!


You go out to play because you love the game and whatever follows will follow. If you're out there to be recognized or applauded then you're out there for the wrong reasons. People who play the game earnestly and honestly may not receive awards for that, but they often find themselves being invited to play with others because those qualities shine through and are the qualities that most people are attracted to. The cheaters, the sandbaggers and the "Look at Me's" are a dime a dozen but honesty and integrity offer rewards that no trophy could ever equal.
