Gambling & golfing AP dream?

Anyone in Vegas got a set of clubs I can borrow? I don't feel like hauling mine all the way to the desert.

Golf tournaments attract enough people who fudge their handicaps that the honest player does not have the chance / advantage they think they have. If you fudge your handicap, go for it.

Truer words were never written. I played in a CZR tournament a couple of years ago. As a 10 hdcp, I was the 'A' player on our team. The winning team was 24 under par. I've played in a lot of tournaments, and seen many good teams, but never saw 24 under before.....

You beat me to it. I was ready to post virtually the same thing.

24 under in 18 holes?

They eagled every par 5, and I'm quite certain they had eagled two of the par 4s. I may not be recalling the score correctly, although I think 48 was what they posted. I remember it being ridiculously low. Rio Secco was the course

I don't say that there aren't a lot of sandbaggers out there but like in gambling variance can kick in. I have only shot below 90 twice in my life and that was 2 rounds of 80 back to back when my cap was 24. It was not a tournament and my friends and I didn't even have any money game going on. If it was a tournament nobody would believe I was legitimate.
