Prompted by another thread. Have you ever deliberately or accidentally been a bandit and played of a higher handicap than you thought you should?
My most obvious experience was having been away from golf for a number of years I joined a new club and put in my cards. I was gien a handicap of 20 I think. I practiced hard and thought I was a few shots better and knew I was entering a competition for a society of which I was a member non golfing but had an annual golf match.
I thought I might be regarded as a bit of a bandit and played in a medal the week before to try and get my handicap down. I played terribly and went up by point one which took me up to 21 and then promptly won the competition by a stroke.

I was feling very sheepish collecting the trophy and promptly dropped it.
