Phew, thank goodness for the first bit!!
As for "Why would anyone want to manipulate their scores?" Well, there are several well known faces who do really well playing Opens during the Season. The better the prizes, the better the winning score! One bloke at my club would go near the course if conditions are off, he needs to keep below a certain HCap to be able to play in top Am events..
The only “cheating” I have had to deal with has been a member who wishes to keep his HC artificially low.
