Anyone else carry a throwing club?

[stiffdogg06]

I've never thrown a club and never plan on it. My older brother I typically play with is a different story. He throws clubs, hit balls directly OB, etc... The worst I've ever got was when I slammed a few drivers down to the turf. And I might drop the club from the top of my follow through when I hit a bad shot...

I personally think you look stupid and childish when you throw clubs, or do something erratic.

I like to swallow my rage and use it to become STRONGER. ARRRRRRRGGHHH!!

Actually this happened to me a couple times. The most vivid was on a short par 3 where I topped my iron about 20 yards off the tee. I stuck it back in the bag, said "@#$@ it" and grabbed my 9I, walked up to the ball, and whacked it with as much rage as I could muster, figuring it'd at least dribble toward the green. Somehow I hit it cleanly and it landed about 3 feet from the pin. Of course, I was still kind of worked up when I got up to putt and missed it and took a bogey, but it was certainly an unexpected outcome. It DID help the rage blow over before the next tee, at least.

Sadly, it rarely actually works out like that.

don't be that guy on the course who throws their clubs around.
I know people who are like that and they aren't very much fun to play with.

I'd be embarrassed if I threw my clubs around the place.

I guess sarcasm is hard to get across via the internet, but, uhhhhh...this was a joke, you know, humor...a little levity. Of course I don't carry an extra club just to huck whenever I get mad. That would be ridiculous. I just thought since there is a club for just about everything now-a-days, a club made specifically for throwing would be kind of funny.

I guess sarcasm is hard to get across,but to bull

is easier lol...

I've thought of something even better. Instead of lugging around an extra club. When you hit a bad shot, put your club away, go to your partner's bag, pull out one of their clubs and let it fly.

I like to have one or two particular players to root for. Being new to the game, I haven't actually found anyone that stands out to me.
I DO know who I dislike already...

During Quail Hollow, the Golf Channel showed a clip of Sergio Garcia throwing an iron into the trees, and Angel Carera throwing his driver to the ground and walking off.
If I were his caddy, I'd have left the damn thing behind!

IMHO, the PGA should get a grip on this behavior. Heavy fines should be in order, with suspensions for repeat offenders.
I don't want to hear about the pressure or their level of play. If you're getting paid to be a Pro, act like it!

I threw my sand wedge the other night during league play. I realized how stupid it was right after.

Typically, though if I am pissed off I will wait until everyone has putted out and then hit 2-3 water balls into the nearest hazard.

I like the monkey idea...I think it has real merit...........and would be extremely funny to watch, someone beating the crap out of a stuffed monkey in the middle of the fairway...I actually laughed out loud when I read that.

See, I knew it had potential! Instead of the "Throwing Club" we could call it the "Punchin' Monkey". Of course it would need legs long enough so you could get a good grip and swing it into the tires of the golf cart a few times. You could even hurl it down the cart path and then run over it before stopping to pick it up and put it back in the bag for those seriously bad shots.
