Hi,
Is there anything in the Rules regarding a competitor seemingly playing badly in a handicap competition, probably deliberately to cause the number of strokes to go up, (though not helping his current competition,) so that his handicap for the next round will be adjusted upwards?

Your advice most appreciated

Where do you play golf Australia
