Never, but I saw a snapped shaft with a TaylorMade grip sticking out of a tee box trash can once. It made me feel better just seeing that thing in the trash, and any urge to damage my own clubs melted away. When things go horribly wrong now, I just remember that image and laugh it off.

never snapped one over my knee, though i was having a real bad driving day about a year ago and, after watching a shot slice off into a lake, i whapped my driver's head pretty hard against the ground and the head popped right off the shaft. i was fairly embarrassed about that.

I broke my 5-iron over my knee (I really was just kind of pretending to do it, but it doesn't take much effort to break a shaft). The stupid thing is my iron set cost $80 used and it cost $40 to install a shaft in that one club. (I had a grip installed at the same time, but still...)

Sorry. Not on the knee. I was afraid I would hurt my knee. I used to take out my anger on my 2 iron and try to wrap it around a tree. Never really worked but helped a lot with anger.

On the fourth hole on a league night I lost two balls off the tee. As I was walking back to the cart and holding the clubhead in my hand I smacked the butt of the grip on the ground not once but twice. The second time it hit the corner of a curb for the cart path and broke about five inches down inside the grip. Definitely dumb and embarrassing. I think that was the last time for me.

That reminds me of a story in freshman basketball. This kid on the other team got really pissed after a foul that wasn't called, so he punched the floor and broke his arm!

Getting P.O.'ed always bites you in the ass. I've never broken a club. I have no intention to do so because golf clubs are so expensive to replace. Plus, I might need the club later in the round...who knows?

To deny our passions is to deny what makes us human. Are you human?? If so, you must destroy. If i didnt break something when i get pissed off i wouldnt be worth the manly brillo pad like hair on my chest. Besides, if i tried to hold it in i would end up doing something worse later on..like breaking my car window or kicking my dog or something.... Better just to get a club re-shafted...

Just snapped my hybrid over my knee on Monday...it had it coming!! Watch out though, graphite shafts are tough and it might end up biting back.

I like to throw clubs a lot. I've broken a few slamming them against my bag also, but never over my knee. I also threw my 4 iron tomahawk style at some trees and the head snapped off. lol

Havent snapped a driver... tho after previously hitting one of my longest drives ever, on the next hole my driver head flew off the shaft during my follow through.

I've snapped a 7-iron over my knee a couple seasons ago... to this day I struggle hitting my 7 iron. Maybe b/c I went a whole season without one lol

I've also gotten my PW stuck up in a tree.

I've banged clubs on the ground a bunch and threw an occasional club but never snapped a shaft. I have had the clubhead fly off on a driver, a three and a five wood while hitting the ball but never an iron.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
