Nothing to get excited about -- probably just guys who think they can
help out their club scores by edging their friend's scores higher. They
probably have agreements with friends to spot each other. Not a very
legal thing to do... and they probably don't get much improvement
overall in the club scores after the time they've wasted doing the
spotting. Could get them DQ'd -- but nothing to get excited about ...
