The Grob Gambit is actually sharp and can be dangerous for Black if they don't play properly.

There are several GM's having played this. There are also several books that mention this variation and in the book: Starting Out: Sicilian Grand Prix Attack this is mentioned as one of the critical variations by GM Gawain Jones.
It may sound funny to some people, but this is a critical variation of the closed sicilian. Its not bad at all. (However, you dont get there from playing the scandinavian move order. Nobody in their right mind would play 2.f4 against the scandinavian)
In my Chess club, we forbid gambits to be played in rated games. Violators get a verbal warning, next they get "written up" and, lastly, suspention from the club for 3 months and upon returning they must pay a $20.00 fine. Those who wish to play gambits in offhand games must do so in a separate room and only if they get permission from their opponent. We will not tolerate or encourage unsound play. Sure, some have angerly left the club because of this policy which we have had for years but we are, nevertheless, a quite successful club and ready to face any legal challenges to our "house rules".
