When it comes to classify the types of handicap in golf there are 3 main categories: honest, sandbagger and Hollywood.
    The honest handicap is the most widespread category. It consists of a standard handicap that is calculated by a standard formula that is accepted by every player. A player that has a honest handicap will always keep scores that are accurate, obeying the general accepted golf rules.
    A sandbagger handicap is usually higher than the real handicap. A player that has a sandbagger handicap is most likely to miss several shots intentionally in order to maintain his handicap.
    The last category of handicap is the Hollywood handicap. Players that fit into this category play only for handicap. They take the game of golf very seriously and always try to improve their game. Ask a Hollywood handicap player to choose between a low handicap and little money and a high handicap and lots of money and you will be surprised when he chooses the first option.
