Golf driving challenge with twist from @divotdudes.golf

The creator challenges a golfer in a retail store to hit his claimed drive distance of 240 yards to win a free driver. After the golfer reveals he's a "sandbagger" by hitting over 300 yards, the creator brings in a "ringer" for a head-to-head competition, which the sandbagger loses. The creator then gives the sandbagger a final chance to win by hitting over 300 yards, but he narrowly fails and receives a consolation gift card.

Narrative framework

The Sandbagger's Gauntlet

Narrative framework logic

A participant makes a modest claim about their ability, which is turned into a challenge. When they dramatically overperform, they are accused of 'sandbagging' (hiding their true skill). The stakes are then raised with a new, much harder challenge, often against an expert, leading to a dramatic final attempt.
