I always carry an old club that I'll never use other than as a throwing club. Whenever I feel the need to let the steel fly, I go to my bag and pull this club out. I'll usually give it a good huck between green and tee box but if the occasion requires, I'll use it in the fairway. This method not only relieves stress but has saved me hundreds in broken and bent shafts. Once the other clubs in my bag see the fate that could befall them, they straighten up - figuratively and literally.

Whoever came up with the saying, "A bad day of golf is better than a good day at work", is a moron.

Sounds like you could need some anger management.

I may drop the club into the ground on a poor shot, but I don't throw things around.

yea I remember when a good player on our golf team in high school threw his cleveland wedge and broke the shaft after a bad shot. Someone told our coach and our coach basically snapped on the whole team about breaking or throwing clubs, If I remember right he said he would suspend us from the team if he found out you bent or broke a club.

I don't have anger issues and I'm not above kickin' some ass to prove it!

No. Throwing a club is not behavior that should be tolerated on the golf course.

I used to carry a few rocks (old water balls) to hit OB or into the pond on purpose. I was better back then. I'm not good enough these days to get mad about a missed shot.

Agree. Especially to the premeditated point that you carry a special club for it!

This thread did make me laugh though! LOL

I'm surprised you have the presence of mind to put the club you just hit poorly back and take out your throwing club. When I get mad, it definitely helps to physically vent somehow, usually that ends up being on the next tee with my Driver, hitting the ball as hard as I can. I have thrown a club once, and broke it. I kind of agree with other people, you don't want to do it and it's uncomfortable for the rest of the round if you're playing with people. But those other people probably don't have the tempers we have, and it's tough to control sometimes.

I tell you what pisses me off. Hitting at the range, trying to focus on fundamentals, good swing path, stay loose, and chunking or skulling shots, only to see the guy next to me with a terrible out to in swing, actually stepping out like a baseball player and just murdering the ball. Makes me want to toss my 8 iron at his head

.....and of course, that same guy proceeds to hit 6 buckets of all driver's while you're hitting your 8 iron trying to work on tempo.

I would get pretty embarrassed if I started throwing clubs around. I know what i would think of myself if i was watching. Then again, errors don't bother me much, but they will when i get to a handicap like yours i guess!

I've gotten into the habit lately of slamming my club into the ground....after a bad shot.....I need to stop doing that although it is difficult because it is the only thing around that I can abuse

the one and only time i ever threw a club i snapped the shaft in my 5iron. $20 later i learned a valuable lesson. to me, carrying a "throwing club" is pointless. there shouldn't be alot of club tossing on the course, i just learned some self control and a better attitude.

Now I don't carry a thorwing club but I also play tennis and do carry a throwdown racquet. It's quite out of shape now.... Never even thought of that for Golf. I guess the 14-club rule may need a little bending for this.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
