The Sandbagger competition began in 1996. We have had many champions who fit the above description to a tee. Perhaps the most notorious was Michael Holmes who came out as a rookie in 1998, proclaimed himself a 105-type golfer and then proceeded to fire a blistering, “career-best” 87 at Royal Laurentian. He lives on in infamy, but dared not return the following year.
The Sandbagger champion for 2011 was a similarly (un)worthy winner. Were it not for the fact he is a roguishly charming cheat, whose frayed cargo pants and Arnold Palmer loop swing were always good for a laugh, Brian Boychuk would undoubtedly have been tarred and feathered for having sandbagged his way to a comfortable victory.
Somebody just sent me this tourism bio on Scottsdale….
“You won’t find just Golf in Scottsdale, enjoy fine shopping and dining experiences at many locations throughout the city but don’t miss the Old Town District of Downtown Scottsdale, so unique are its Galleries, Boutiques and Restaurants….”
WTF. There was an Old Town District?!
Does Target qualify as either “fine shopping” or a “boutique”?
Jim, as our fearless leader and tourist guide, I hold you directly responsible for not hijacking that big brown RV and showing us the sights and sounds of Scottsdale. Surely, we Old Guys would have fit into the Old District quite nicely.
2011 winner Boychuk got me all liquored up during the last round and that’s why I lost. He was a gentleman though.
