"Sandbagger" comes from the use of sand bags to slow the progress of vehicles, originally hot air ballons.

By "sand bagging," an individual artificially prevents his ranking from rising, or in the case of Golf, his handicap from falling. This gives him an unfair advantage in a round of golf net scored to handicap by removing strokes from his card would not otherwise be entitled to remove (with a appropriately lowered handicap).
