I was out last week and a solo guy in front of me threw two clubs on the first hole. Makes me think he may not really enjoy the sport that much, or he was having a very bad day.

Can say I remember ever throwing a club but I sure have thought about it.

Would love to hear what others have to say about this.

Such a simple question and deserves a simple answer. YES!

Everytime I do it which is not that often I hate myself and regret it.
Last year I whipped my putter and it landed on a cart path and dinged it up really good. Now that I have a Scotty I better not do that again.

I have never thrown a club, tossed one or two a couple of feet towards the cart after a pitch so I wouldn't forget it, but never thrown a club in anger. I watched enough people damage clubs to know better, even saw one guy get one stuck in a tree, then use another club to get the original club down, would have been funny if he got them both stuck in the tree. Another time I had some schmuck I got paired up with throw one after a missed putt that flew right over my head, he would have caught the beating of a lifetime for it if he wasn't so apologetic about it, and not from me but my 6'4" 240 pound playing partner

Never tossed one. More of a drop-kick right next to me, or pushed the club hard into my bag. Besides, why ruin them when they cost so much...

I voted no, answering the spirit of the question but not the letter of the question.

I holed out from the sand once back in January and tried to do a baton twirl with my gap wedge, which I had used in the bunker. I hit myself in the head, thankfully with the grip end. I think you meant throwing in anger, which I've never been tempted to do. I started playing as a graduate student, so I know the importance of money. I don't want to have to pay for a re-shafting or a new club! The only times I've seen people throw clubs were cart players throwing to their cart-mate who forgot a club back at the cart. "Hey man, throw me my 5-iron." For those who do throw clubs: please throw them forward in the fairway so we don't have to wait for you to go back to get them!

I once threw my driver 60 odd yards down the fairway in anger, and the shaft snapped in two, I was a bit younger then though

I voted yes. I haven't been playing too long but I did throw a 5 iron about a month ago. It landed in the fairway next to the one I was playing. I'm very thankful no one was there. I will never throw another club again.

Unfortunately I have thrown clubs on two occaisions.

Once was when I was early 20's and playing with my mom who talked in my backswing for probably the 8th time that day... and I was already playing poorly. It's no excuse, but it happended... I launched it about 40 yards up the fairway into the right hand whispy rough... so no damage. I swore I would never do it again...

Then last year I had a relapse. I was playing with just my wife, and I was desperately trying to play well (on the verge of being single digits for first time). I bombed a drive to about 80 yds out. Hit my wedge fat, just short of deep bunker... hit flop shot into bunker... hit bunker shot over green (too much ball)... skulled chip into bunker when I should have returned to cart for a different club... threw that frigging 60* wedge about 20 yards in a low to the ground spiraly type toss into the rough... then got up and down from the sand for a 7.

Both times I felt stupid, and I don't intend to do it again, but I play a lot of golf and generally act very well, only occaisionally muttering a damnit, or what the hell was that. I can't promise to never throw another, but I will never be one of those guys who seems to always play pissed, or regularly ruins others rounds by his bad temprament.

Oh... one other time I threw a Ping demo about 50 yards out into a lake... but that was accidental... rain, wet hands, hitting shag ball into lake, golf team laughing at me retrieving club, etc.

Bobby Jones threw clubs, even hit a woman at a tournament and was almost booted from the amateur circuit. The story is that he never threw another club again.

I have thrown a few in frustration when playing alone. Even lost my grip on one in the rain. It went further than the ball.

Never threw one, but I watched my father-in-law break the head off his 6 iron. Not out of anger, Just a normal hit. It flew nearly as far as the ball.

It was hilarious.

On my tombstone: "If this is the worst thing that ever happens to me, I'm doing just fine!"

yes i have and worse... i usually get most angry with my short game, so I'll take a wedge and slam it into the ground toe first. NEVER in the fairway, and I alway repair that "divot", but thats my bad tantrum habit.

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
