This is a tip I was given by a sports psychologist. He said that once you hit a bad shot take 2 swings (fast swings) to rid the feeling and the anger from that shot. After the 2 swings then take another 2 swings that feel good and are close to your prefect swing. Then place the club back in the bag.

This means that when you put the club back in the bag you do not have a bad feeling or memory about that club. I use this all the time and find this works.
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

That's all well and good so long as you're not holding anybody up by doing that 5, 10, 20 times per round.

If I really hit a bad shot I like to just drop the club at the end of my follow-through, kind of like I've seen Tiger do with his driver a few times, though he actually kind of throws his half the time. I just let it drop right down where my ball used to be.

    • I don't think I'm qualified to pick "the best five movies". I do have some favorites: In no particular order: Tombstone Inglorious Bastards Mad Max Fury Road Snatch Book of Eli (BTW - I'm aware of the giant plot hole... I don't care.)  Then I have a number of guilty pleasures that I really enjoy, but I'm not kidding myself into thinking they are some kinda high-brow cinema: Planet Terror Doomsday The El Mariachi Trilogy John Wick 1, 2 and 3 in that order. ... I like to pretend the 4th one didn't happen.  The Magnificent Seven... I have to confess I like the old one and the new one. (Don't judge me.)  
    • totally forgot about it, until i saw it this weekend for the umpteenth time! 1917 - absolutely epic movie. And on of the best tracing shots in film!

    • I think (don't hold me to it) that he was quoting your post to say "I agree with you and here's why" rather than to disagree, but I may very well be wrong.
