Nice one. I felt like doing all that today with some of the shots I was hitting. Fortunately, I have a bit of self-control that keeps me from looking like an idiot.

That's just stupid. I have some anger issues and if I make some bad shots I can swear a bit but I understand that a cool head will always help the game and the anger will only make the game worse, so is life. Maybe this guy not only needs some golf lesons but some life lessons. Had a friend make some bad shots one round and hit his nice push cart and wrecked the wheel! That was funny. But at the time he had his dog with us and she was tied to his cart and I could tell she was pretty scared of his little tantrum, I felt bad for her.

I'm new to the game so I've never seen anything like this, but had a similar feeling myself last week when I couldn't hit for my life. I bought a used Taylormade R580 XD and my slice is horrific. I quit on the 6th hole and went and shot two buckets on the driving range.

i used to throw clubs and once again im not proud of it but i don't do it anymore. It just doesnt solve anything

Posted
haha thats great, I see that from time to time, sometimes from myself:

I was at a course awhile ago, And hit a drive into the trees, I had a clear PW out onto the green from about 30 yards, I chunked the shot and it went into the trees again, it wasn't even that bad but I completely flipped out.

I know what its like, nothing could make you even more mad in the world at that point. Its just something in the mind, its a game, but its more than that in your head.

I have a friend who goes to Models at the begining of the season and buys 10 $10.00 putters and snaps them at various times during the season and throws them in the lake or just sticks both pieces in the ground and walks to the next hole.It is just hilarous.Also he is 6-5 and 250 so it makes it even funnier.

I've found 10 $10.00 bottles of blackberry brandy to be much more therapudic.

I was playing with 3 others. A couple of wise guys were on our tail from the 3rd hole on. We had to wait at each tee for the group in front of us. On the 8th hole one of the wise guys hit his driver as we hitting our second shot. His shot hit one of my friends in the back. He went bananas. He then chaed them back to the club house. He informed the pro of what had happened, but by then they were in their car and gone.

I've never broken anything, because I wouldn't be able to buy another.
But there have been times where I get so angry, and I am not proud of it. I really worked on bringing it down, and I've gotten so much better at managing my emotions, but there are sometimes where I just can't do it.

More over it's the times where some says "nice shot" as soon as I make contact, even if it was terrible, because they want to be nice because I'm a kid. A lot of 50 year old men don't realize it, but it makes the kid want to snap his driver across their teeth.

Good friend of mine has incredible anger issues on the course... Once last summer we were playing the third hole at a nice upscale course... After topping his 3 hybrid four times in a row he lets fly with the saltiest language I've ever heard on the course at the top of his lungs... I'm trying not to laugh but it was funny... When we get to number 10 there was a backup on the course... A group in front of us came driving back to the tee... The guy driving had his wife/girlfriend/mistress with him... He stopped when he got to our cart... My friend was standing on the tee... The guy rolls up and says "hey man, that outburst from your friend on the front nine"... I prepared for the worst and he says "that was the funniest s*** I've heard on a gold course in a long time!" the laughter that I was holding in since the 3rd hole just busted out... Glad the guy had a good attitude, he could have been ticked but laughed about it... Funny stuff

I cant stand being around anyone like that. We used to have a guy that joined us once or twice a month, and would throw clubs and yell, cuss, etc etc. We tolerated it for the first few holes, then would start riding his butt about it. He usually calmed down. However, one time he continued to act like a donkeys butt, and at the turn, when he went in, we took his bag off the cart, set it by the door, and left him. He didnt even call or follow us out, he got the picture. He has joined up a few times since, and has been a lot better, but we don't see him near as much.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
