About this episode

Yip Strickler discusses the issue of sandbagging in amateur golf and his efforts to expose it.

Yip Strickler, golf’s self-proclaimed Sandbag Enforcer, joins The Dan Evans Show presented by Sports Illustrated Golf to talk about one of the biggest problems in amateur golf: sandbagging.

Dan and Yip also get into Yip’s unlikely path from bass fishing to golf, his rise on social media, Golf Digest recognition, his first PGA Tour event experience, and why he may eventually take his sandbagging investigations to YouTube.If you care about golf handicaps, amateur tournaments, country club drama, net golf, or the people trying to keep the game honest, this one is for you.
