I play in a league too, but we don't have any sandbaggers. We do have a vanity handicapper though. I don't condone either ones behavior, but I can almost understand the mindset of the sandbagger. I don't get the vanity handicapper at all.

I'll play against the "vanity" handicapper any day. Its the sandbaggers that I don't understand. I always thought that we take pride in improving our game, and as a rule, our handicaps reflect our skill level. Most people strive to play their best, and in doing so they lower their handicap, not "blow shots" to protect a handicap higher than their skill level. And certainly not in a friendly, no $ league.
