I'm thinking about playing my first tournament in a few weeks and was wondering about handicaps and weekend warriors. I imagine it's typical to shoot above your handicap when there's real pressure. If I'm normally shooting 79-82 from the blue tees, I'm guessing my first tournament could yield anywhere from 80-90 from closer tees. That being said my handicap is a few .1's under the next flight up. Would it be frowned upon if I played in the 8.00-13 flight instead of the 4.00-7.99 flight? Is that considered sandbagging? I'm hoping not because my handicap doesn't include the normal pressure of tournament play or having to putt out every two footer lol
Thanks!
