i have read some answers to where the term sandbagging came from, the one that sticks out to me has to do with racing. My guess would be in lets say for horse or car racing placing sand bags on or in the horse or car to make it appear in pre race scenarios to not perform as well. By weighing it down it slows it down considerably, and therefor puts you into a lower performing class than that your capable of. Then remove sandbags for the race and you have an advantage. For Golf i would think it would just refer to placing yourself in a lower category than your capable of competing in in hopes of getting higher rankings.

A physical therapist said my relaive was sandbagging. What does sandbagging mean medically?

Sandbagging is when the patient isn't doing all the patient CAN do during therapy. They believe it's a 'lost cause' and therefore, don't believe the therapy works. Therefore, they won't progress through the physical therapy in the time it would take someone else with the same injuries. The problem starts out as depression. The depression can stem from a poor or altered body image.
