That's rather benign IMO. Seemed very calm and deliberate. He didn't slam the club down or helicopter it down the fairway.

Is there such a thing as passive aggressive low grade anger management training? 😜

You opening a clinic?

I can honestly say I've never been so disgruntled to even think about breaking a club.   I've been upset on the golf course but never "that" upset.

Meh. It’s fine. Good technique, good use of the neck as a fulcrum. Nice clean break with no shouting or ranting. I like it.

OK, but were you ever playing for your living?

No but I've never been that upset at any job.   I've never thrown a computer out the window or smashed a test car into a wall  either.   Maybe I was in the wrong profession but retirement suits me just fine nowadays.

Anyone know if that was an extra stiff shaft?  Agree with @billchao that, as compared to other temper tantrums by PGA players, this is pretty low key. I saw Hale Irwin take a full swing into his golf bag after failing to extract himself from a bunker. This might be the genesis of a fun thread "PGA Players Biggest Temper Tantrums".  Certainly there must be some great footage out there for harvest.

Well, I've batted an "in and out" tray off of a desk, torn up paperwork, and walked out over various issues. Also engaged in various verbal battles when those above me dropped the ball and expected me to pick up the slack! I didn't like that!

I remember seeing footage of a lower tier tour player missing a putt, and holding the putter at the lower end, proceed to whack himself in the side of the head with the shaft until he bent it! I can't imagine what his face felt like after that!

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.
