Never "Helicoptered" one. Slammed the head on the ground a few times or slammed it back into the bag. No true THROWS

I wrapped my 5-iron around a tree during a tournament round in high-school. Not my finest moment...

Ugh.... the damage that I've done to my clubs....

  • Snapped over knee - Check
  • Thrown into tree - Check
  • Tried to retrieve club in tree by tossing another club at it (getting it stuck) - Check
  • Slammed into ground - Check
  • Helicoptored - Check
  • Thrown into pond - Check
  • Bent around tree - Check
  • Thrown into woods (not retrieveable)- Check
  • etc....
I no longer go thru these post shot routines. Got way too expensive....and I got a little wiser/calmer/less energetic. Now I just drop my club after my bad swings.

Thown, not really. It was more of total body collapse with my putter falling from my hand.(Its more dramatic if you listen to music in my head as I hit the green.)

Yes, of course! Though it's usually more for drama than genuine anger. And I haven't really done it since high school, and I sure wouldn't do it on a nice course. My six-iron spent four months in some bushes near a water hazard, until someone found it and realized it was mine! And I still used it up until recently when I got new clubs.

Never have, never will. I've played with people that do...but will never play with that same person again. Had a couple of idiots (different occasions) who came damn close to hitting me with their thrown clubs, but rather than wrapping my 3I around their necks, I decided it was best to drop out of the round and restart the first time. The second time was later in the round, so I just dropped back and joined another group. -LBB

I don't, but I have before. I've done it about twice.

If I do it anymore during a match or practice, it's an automatic one week suspension from the team. 2nd offense is indefinite removal, so it's something that's taken serious on my High School Golf Team.

    • Day 35 (15 Dec 25) - Short session today focused on exaggerated weight shift using left heel trigger.  Hit a few pitches using the process to help capture the feel. 
    • Day 125 12-15 Half swings with flow drill. Focused on rhythm, loading trail side then getting to lead side correctly. Hit a few foam balls but mostly drilling without ball. 
    • Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.
    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.  
    • Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.
