Golf Cheater

What’s the worst cheating act you have seen on the golf course? Whether it was with your buddies or in a tournament.

I saw the club pro cheating on his wife with the old broad that runs the grill in the clubhouse.

The old ball drop out of a towel.

In a Monday Qualifier I watch a player finish with a Top Flight ball after starting with a Professional. When I called him on it he threw it in water and said it was scuffed.
ETA he shot 80.

I saw a “liberal” drop on 6 at LaTour 100 yards out after hitting it 45 deg off the tee into the right water hazard. Classic

was playing in a charity event at Briarwood many years ago...
morning flight was in and posted...
afternoon a bad storm moved in ...wind blowing...extreme heavy rain...team comes in beating best score by 1 shot...
when the Briarwood pro named the winning team he prefaced it with "gentlemen, let your conscious be your guide"...
everyone in the place booed them out of the clubhouse...

Long drive hole, a couple of years at the old Ormond course. We're playing a 4 man scramble and can physically watch the group in front of us because it's so backed up. They literally have one decent player. We're backed up and watching them tee off on every hole. Decent player tees off last and snap hooks it OB left.
They take off down the fairway and we see them grab the longest drive placard and go down the fairway and reset it. We're thinking ain't no freaking way. The hole is 400yds long, straight, and dead into a 30mph wind.
Our longest guy had already hit drives of 340 and 356 that day. Young baseball player turned golfer who just bombs it. He smashes one on the long drive hole and it's some 30-35yds behind the longest drive placard. That's when we decided to really start watching these guys play.
They carded a birdie on the next par 3 that we clearly saw them par and turned in a score of 19 under. Next closest was 12 under. We shot a legit 11. Several comments/confrontations at the clubhouse when they posted their score. When the winning team was announced, everyone LOL'ed and called bullshite. Needless to say, they loaded up immediately and left.

Playing a money game and my partner hits his drive to the left and down a ravine. One of our opponents does the same. We drive over and find my partners ball, open shot, but will have to punch out. We look for our opponent ball while in the area and it's stone cold un-playable. No way he can hit his ball even to punch it out. This was a par 5. We move on and play our shots in which I hit the green in two. Everybody gets to the green and putt out and I birdie, the opponent in trouble says par, in which I chime in because we had side action and felt my partner was getting screwed. I said how do you take a drop after your drive, knock it in the fairway, then on to the green and two putt for par. He and his partner said he knocked it out legally from that lie. I said no way and we go back and forth for at least 10 minutes, in which it becomes kinda salty. Well, they think we are trying to screw em so they quit with three holes left to play. Tell my partner that's just as good as a guilty plea that I've ever seen. And to make things worse one of em had their kid with em. I had the hole won, but my buddies had side bets and I had to make a stand on that bullshite.

Not cheating per se, but picking up after X number of shots on a hole in noncompetitive rounds because their golf handicap doesn't allow it.

This is actually in the recommendations of the new handicap system. Once 2 shots over handicap par, pick up to speed up pace of play (Example- For a 5 handicap, on the number 1 handicap hole, max score is a triple. On the 10 handicap hole, max score is a double). For calculating handicap, this should also be followed as the max allowed score. If you plug in higher than this score, you are effictively sandbagging.

I get the recommendation, but if I pick up my putt for triple on the easiest hole on the course and proceed to break a scoring barrier by 1 stroke, I'd never forgive myself.

In my experience the majority of amateur players do not play by the rules of golf.
Bumping the ball, conceding gimme putts, ball switching, more than 14 clubs are now accepted by most amateurs to the point that it is not even mentoned.

We kicked a guy out of our eight man group for always picking up his ball and improving his lie in the fairway, rough and even bunkers.
He always said that he had the right to identify his ball.
The last straw was he picked up a ball in the fairway and one of our guys went over and pounded his ball into the ground LOL !

Sorry for my ignorance, as I still play like I was taught in high school in the 90s, but does this new recommendation help to ensure someone's handicap doesn't increase but always stays the same or goes down? I understand the handicap is an average which takes out the best and worst rounds over a given period of time. I probably don't understand the new recommendations like I should- I just play and score as-is.

The point is to prevent the odd blow up hole from distorting your handicap. A scratch is very rarely going to get worse than double bogey on a hole. So, if the scratch has one crazy hole where he gets a 10, his handicap will still show what he is capable of.
Also, for higher handicaps, it's still possible to get > double bogey. An 18 handicap essentially has a triple bogey max.

Exactly as stated above.

I get that, and as long as keeping pace of play, I don't think you have to end your scoring at double bogey. At the same time, if you shoot an 88 with 3 net triple bogeys, you should be plugging an 85 into your handicap.
