All these things are so problematic when dealing with a SANDBAGGER. It calls for Handicap Committees, Regional & National Golf Associations to implement and manage the handicaps. Nothing new here!

Key areas of responsibility for the stakeholders
GOLF 31 Jan 2021
We all have a role to play in this.
THE Royal & Ancient Golf Club (R&A) and the United States Golf Association (USGA), reckon that, among others, the main areas of responsibility in upholding the WHS for each key stakeholder are:
PlayerA player is expected to:
- Act with integrity by following the Rules of Handicapping and to refrain from using, or circumventing, the Rules of Handicapping for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage,
Attempt to make the best score possible at each hole,
- Submit acceptable scores for handicap purposes as soon as possible after the round is completed and before midnight local time,
- Submit acceptable scores to provide reasonable evidence of their demonstrated ability,
- Play by the Rules of Golf, and
- Certify the scores of fellow players.
Golf Club/Handicap Committee• A golf club is responsible for ensuring the handicap index of those members who have designated it to be their home club is administered in accordance with the requirements of the Rules of Handicapping.
- A handicap committee is established by a golf club and is responsible for ensuring compliance with the golf club’s specified obligations and responsibilities under the Rules of Handicapping.
- Where a national association administers and manages a player’s handicap index directly, the national association assumes the responsibilities of a golf club.
Regional (State) Golf Association• A regional golf association is affiliated to its national association and comprised of golf clubs and/or golfers within a defined area.
- A regional golf association has specific responsibilities within the World Handicap System and may be delegated additional obligations by its national association.
National Association
- An authorized national association has the exclusive rights to implement and administer the World Handicap System within its jurisdiction, including the issuance of a handicap index.
- A national association has specific responsibilities within the World Handicap System and may be delegated additional obligations by a multi-national association.
- An authorized national association may delegate some of its responsibilities to a regional (state) golf association or a golf club.
