Who ran hot when it counted?
Drop in the field: everyone's handicap and what they actually shot. We flag who beat their number by more than the day explains. Built for the round you're scoring, not anyone's history.

Field-relative: each player is measured against their own handicap, then against how the whole field scored that day (which controls for easy or hard conditions). A high flag is a statistical anomaly, not a proven accusation. Results are yours alone.

Field notes · The short version
What does golf sandbagging actually look like?
A golf sandbagger keeps an artificially high handicap so they receive more strokes than their demonstrated ability deserves. One brilliant round proves nothing. The useful evidence is the gap between the handicap, the round, the player's record, and how the rest of the field performed.
Check the record
Look for a pattern: tournament scores beating the player's everyday posted history again and again.
Check the field
Compare everyone from the same event so easy conditions do not make an entire leaderboard look suspicious.
Method note. Score differentials account for Course Rating and Slope. The USGA separately defines an exceptional score as a differential at least 7.0 strokes better than the player's Handicap Index. Rare is evidence—not a confession.
