After seeing this video, its a lot worse than I imagined. He could have easily hit someone. He didn't care where he was throwing it, and never even looked to where it went. Just expected it back in one piece.

I have a better idea than a money fine. People like Tiger car write checks all day, as his women are well aware of. Give stroke penalties, or take away the club that you threw. That is, if you throw your driver, its confiscated for the rest of the round.

I am so happy to see people finally reacting to the exact reasons I am NOT a Tiger fan. His attitude towards fans and othe competetors is just not acceptable. If it were not for the fans Tiger would just be another club pro somewhere by now. I dont hate Tiger's game I truly respect how great of a golfer he is, but as a person he gets an F in my book!

I'm late to the thread but I want to pose the following: What if other Professionals threw public hissyfits when they made mistakes? Say you were in the chair in your Dentist's office and he curses and throws a tray of instruments across the room. Would you stick around waiting for him to regain his composure and continue? How about you're in the delivery room and your child is coming into the world when the Doc suddenly has a meltdown. I can't imagine my reactions but I can say I would certainly be tempted to seriously display my displeasure at his behavior.

We are the consumers of the professionals product when we are present therefore it is our responsibility to discipline them in a situation like what Tiger created. If we don't Golf is no better than Pro Football or Basketball where criminal activity in personal life and sometimes possibly criminal activity during games doesn't disqualify perpetrators from future participation. And let's face it Fines to super highly paid athletes don't have lasting effects.

My suggestion is voice your displeasure every time you see things like that. Tell the course management, tell the event organizers, tell the sponsors, tell the PGA/USGA. It's your only legitimate weapon. When their money is put in jeopardy changes will occur. Oh and if you don't care about it don't do anything.

Disclaimer: I am not suggesting club throwing or cursing equate to, drugs, gun possession, chair throwing, or slugging fans. I am saying they are damaging to the honor, decorum and spirit of the game.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

Other than this incident with the flying driver, when has he acted poorly towards the fans or competitors?

"If it were not for the fans"? The fans are there because of Tiger, not the other way around. And they are there because he has been the best player in the world for 10 years and has given us some of the best golf entertainment ever. Without the fans, he would still be no.1

    • Hi all. I have sought permission from admin to post this here. First, here's a quick link to my products on TST, which a few of the mods have been road-testing...  Most of you would be aware of the import tariffs imposed on importers to the US circa September last year. Prior to their introduction, I was selling a decent number each week into the 'States. Since the tariffs came in - which added ~AU$60 to the total cost of getting them over there - sales have dropped to virtually nil. I think fear of the tariffs is the biggest part rather than the actual cost increase, despite me declaring everywhere on my site that we pay the tariffs and have successfully got every order into the US without any problems since. What is still unknown to most US consumers is that these tariffs will DOUBLE in February as Australia Post will no longer be allowed to offer "private" rates, they all change to "commercial". I do indeed think that this will make the products uncompetitive to ship there. So what's the backstory?  I'm a small Aussie business, not some corporate juggernaut. I invented these products - not a reseller for someone else. The import tariffs double in February, so add another ~15% to the total cost. If you want StanceMate alone I can do a super deal on a run-out model PREVIEW HERE (note you cannot purchase this yet. I think the shipped price will be about AU$110 inc Shipping (tariffs included). If you want to reduce the cost of the whole Stryper Plus Bundle I can swap the runout StanceMate to reduce the overall price by AU$60. These work EXACTLY as the newer version, just not as premium quality in the way the finish is achievbed in production) IMPORTANT: All import tariffs are PRE-PAID at my end, and clears customs no problem. I've sent a half dozen since October with every one delivered. NB: I'm not here to get into the politics of the decisions on tariffs, so let's not go down that road. It is what it is! So StanceMate to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - about US$70 Bundle to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$240 Bundle (with version 1 StanceMate) to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$200 Cheers Corbs
