sorry this has probably been done before, but just curious what others have seen. I recently saw a guy snap his 9 over his knee after shanking one OOB. then when he dropped and hit an 8 from the same spot OOB again, he snapped that one as well. Mega Rage, two clubs snapped in the space of about 2 minutes!!!!!!

I once played with a guy who duffed his drive on the 16th hole, then through his driver up and down the fairway. Only thing was it got stuck near the top of a pine tree??? that was about 20m tall. He then spent the next 15 minutes throwing pine cones at the branches untill his driver fell. Very funny to watch!

My friend was beating the homeschooled “golf prodigy” in a high school tourney. The kid started crying, called his mom, and had her pick him up on the road by the teebox. If he is an ass to me at our high school reunion, I’m tempted to remind him of that little incident.

LOLOLOL classics

I remember seeing a lady who I would guestimate was 70 years old with a group of 3 other 70ish year old ladies. They were on a par 3 with a small green that was surrounded by 3 bunkers. She hit her first and failed to get out, then hit her second… same result. She then skinnied one that shot along the green and into the bunker on the other side. She then failed to get out until her third attempt on that side. All the while you could see her getting more and more frustrated (as is understandable). Once she finally got onto the green, she blew up. Swearing and throwing her club and kicking sand and even more swearing and bag kicking over. Was hilarious to watch.

Saw a guy four putt from three foot and in his rage he tried to hit the ball away and skinned the green! The patch was about the size of a bread plate right next to the hole. We were playing in a social club and he did it right in front of some members. Needless to say, we weren’t invited back.

We had a very talanted golfer at my junior home course but he was a hothead…one day he got the shits real bad and threw his whole bag, buggy and clubs in the lake…..he left then came back to get his gear out…got his wallet and car keys and threw the rest back in the water.

That one sounds familiar, i think i’ve heard it before. but unlike most things i actually think its happened to many different people! god knows some days i’ve considered it. hehe

Playing at Lae in PNG in the 70’s with a guy I still play with occasionally, he is in his 70’s now.
Putting on the 16th he missed a 10” putt and proceeded to toss putter into nearest tree, not sure what they are called up there bit very similar to Moreton Bay Fig…. big bugger.
Putter lodged in top of tree about 20m from the ground…all fell about laughing…Baz ( not me him ) snarls “dunno what your laughing about you lent me that putter”.
Sent caddy ( native kid ) up tree to fetch. Still have the putter a Ping Anser.
True story, we still laugh about it, his temper still no better at 74 yrs.

i was playing with two brothers, mick and dave, both good players. mick had a bit of a temper. dave is really laid back, really dry sense of humor. anyway we’re play’n this par 5, and mick hits a big cut with his tee shot, starts spitt’n it and throws his driver. now you know how everyone goes quiet when someone throws one. well it was like that for say 20 seconds then dave says “hey mick i think you should throw another one, that one’s gone o.o.b” we laughed for the next two holes.

cheers sb

ps. i reckon i could win a gold medal for club throwing ;-)

Playing golf with my son at a local course just after I bought my first set of clubs. He did not own a set so had a hire set. We were playing the 9th hole , a 170m par 3. The young bloke has hit a 5 iron & the club has slipped out of his hands & flown over his head 15m up the tree behind him. The ball has finished about 3 feet from the pin. needles to say the whole group had a good laugh.
Found it hard to keep a straight face when we returned the hire clubs- the 5 iron & explained where it could be found.

An american mate of mine after failing on two attempts to get a ball out of the bunker tried to break his SW across his knee. The club slipped and went down the front of his shin. He yelped dropped the club but the head caught him on the ankle. Great cussing and swearing he tried to kick the club, went arse over tit backwards and the grip end of the wedge hit him in the crutch. This happened on the third and I think we were all except the injured one, still laughing at the 18th !! Much pride lost that day!!

to top it off, another mate called Ambrose (yes, like the game) picked the clubs out of the water and used them until I left town..they were very expensive Honma clubs

Grown man slices mega left, tree, tree, grass tree, bunker, acorss into the next bunker finally in the hole in a stroke round. He took it really well until the 11 year old who was marking his card asked him his score and had to mark said youngster for a 4. Young fella learned a heap of new words and wondered if the chaps head was going to explode. “4! 4! #((#%#4” Youngen’s reply was “Sir, you should have shouted 4 with your first and second shots to the guys on the other fairways” Being young he was quick enough to keep out of arms reach. None of us could hit the next tee shot for ages.

iseek that is the best one so far. LMAO!!!!!

Hey Gribbs, Is that you in your avatar? Agree with Gribbles too, we now see the darkside of the Guru 8)

Out of the mouth of cricketing babes:)

I have seen a dad with kid once where pop lost his ball big time, threw driver into a swamp and then told his kid to go fetch. “Yeah right” was the nonchalant reply.

Not seen but told by a good mate.

A top player (scratch handicap) at a Sydney club who was warned multiple times for club chucking, burying his putter in greens and spitting the dummy was told to play a game with the club president and captain to show he could control his temper or he would serve a long suspension

He was in full control the whole round but had a bad score which in the past would have had him blowing up but when the round finished he declined the offer of a drink and went back to his car.

He lined all his clubs up with the grips on the gutter, the heads on the road and proceeded to jump on the shafts until every one was either bent beyond repair or broken. Without a word he picked up the damaged clubs, put them in his boot and drove home.

PT

Lol where do all these people get the money to replace their clubs!

This is a little embrassing but here goes….

Playing in stroke round a few weeks ago when I sliced my three wood off the tee OOB.
Reloaded and did exactly the same again.
Not having the best day as it was, i dropped said three wood and booted it away from the tee box…. over the boundary fence into a quite a large tree.
Had my comeuppance when I had to scale barbed wire fence to receive ‘offending’ club in front of group behind who had caught up.
Needless to say my temper has subsided somewhat and is now restricted to the occasional four letter word!

Funny game golf…..!

I played in a pro-am at Bacchus Marsh with a reasonably well-known professional (a player who had one win some years ago on the Australasian Tour).

On a par-5 two holes from our finish, he hit a long drive down the left side of the fairway. This apparently wasn’t the side to be, because immediately afterwards the course was ringing in loud and foul swearing. He then hit a 4-iron, finishing pin high but off the green left, short sided to the pin. More very loud swearing.

When he played his pitch shot up the slope and on to the green with a sand wedge, the ball did not check and ran about 6 metres past the pin. With this he turned around, swore very loudly again, and violently smashed his sand wedge into the post supporting a nearby rubbish bin. The shaft bent and snapped in two.

The interesting thing was that he then made the putt for birdie anyway (I was waiting for the putter to suffer the same fate as his sand wedge if he missed) and ultimately won the event. No doubt there’s some reinforcement going with all this … throw a tantrum and you’ll get a good result. Pity.

Confession time :)

Similar to Brett

I was playing a B&D match (like Pennants) and was having a bad day. I hooked one OOB into a field on the 10th or 11th and in a fit of rage decided to give the driver the helicopter treatment.

The sad thing was I hooked my throw OOB as well! Instead of being able to pick it up I had to scale a wall topped with barbed wire then drop into the field and search for a couple of minutes to find said driver!

I can laugh about it now!

One of the best stories I heard was about Tommy Bolt (I think it was Bolt) who had a legendary temper. At the end of a particularly bad round he walked off the 18th and plunged his left hand into a rose bush scraping it and making it bleed. Looking at this right hand he was heard to say “And don’t think you’re getting away with it either” whereupon he plunged his right fist into the bush as well lol!

Old guy i played with recently told me this one.

two guys he used two play with were supposedly mates but one of them would constantly put sh!t on the other. he personally said it was pretty ordinary. they putt out on the 17th and mr nasty misses a par putt and throws his putter AT THE OTHER GUY. needless to say he expected the nice bloke to say something, but true to form he just tolerated it. they get to the 18th, mr nice hits a short but reasonable tee shot and mr nasty keeps giving him crap. tables turn when mr nasty sets up for his tee shot and must bump the remote for his electric buggy in his pocket. the buggy takes of toward the lake, and mr nice steps aside and just as it goes into the water mr nice says “hey mate where’s your buggy going?” hahaha mr nasty apparently had about 2and a1/2 grand in his wallet and spent a couple of hours fishing around in the lake to find it as it fell out of the bag!

so i guess the putter throw is the tantrum, the bag in the lake is karma :-)

The sad thing was I hooked my throw OOB as well!

Did you throw a provisional? :-)

I’ve thrown my sw at my buggie before and snapped it and i’ve also thrown it in the creek. i’ve calmed a bit since then.
