Wil, he used to be a scratch golfer. However, age catches up with everyone. They will run you out of town at this tournament if you are caught sandbagging, so his handicap is legit. There isn't enough money involved for him to try and pull a fast one.

That makes a lot of sense. I really am not familiar as to how strict these Pro Am event people are with the amateurs that submit handicaps.
The problem is most players use USGA computerised handicaps that depends upon them being honest when they enter their scores in clubhouse computers throughout the year. However, your point about it not being worth it for BW to sandbag is definitely valid.
I didn't know he went that far downhill with age over the last several years. That said, there is nothing wrong with an amateur in his mid to late 60s playing to an 11.
I read somewhere that Phil Sims is a scratch player but I can't recall ever seeing him in any of these TV events..
