Sandbaggers usually are every day folk that are filling up sand bags to secure against a flood or other disaster that is leading to damage. So yeah! I'll be a Sandbagger.

Sandbagger" is a derogatory term in golf that applies to golfers who cheat by pretending to be worse golfers than they really are.

Actually, I don't see or notice that bullshit unless it is brought here, or Redditor grandson shows me. And he is merely disgusted by it.

Sandbagging, hiding the strength, skill or difficulty of something or someone early in an engagement, may refer to:

Sandbagging in billiards and other games, deliberately playing below one's actual ability in order to fool opponents into accepting higher stakes bets, or to lower one's competitive rating in order to play in a future event with a higher handicap and consequently have a better chance to win; the term has spread to chess, go and other such games. Also known as hustling.
