One time I got pissed from a bad putt....so I slammed my putter down a couple(7 times)times on the green, leaving some wicked blade marks. Then I bent the shaft over my knee, and snapped the head off...I stuck the bent, broken shaft, into the fairway, for all to see, and left in there. I still have the putter head.
Another time, when I first started playing, I broke my cousins Big Bertha in half..he said I could swing it...big mistake, because I caught a bit of ground, and the head snapped off, and flew about 150 yards into our pasture..the head is still, to this day, MIA.
One time, I was at the course, and I have this spot I go to, to get free balls, that people have lost. It's in a big patch of trees, that drops down about 30 feet, at a slight anle, and it surrounds a lake. Anyway, I found a bunch of balls down there, but I found a little something extra...An 9.5 degree Callaway ERC Fusion!(Back when they were new)I couldn't imagine why someone wouldn't go looking for it! anyway, their loss was my gain, and since I don't care much for Callaway clubs, I sold it for $200, took the money and ran! That paid for a few sessions.
Sounds a lot like my earlier escapades. I got mad and whacked my pull cart with my 5 iron, to which I now have a 45 degree 5 iron momento and cart handle with extended elevation....
I remember losing my rag as a junior and trying to hit a shot that no one could do (within reason), picture a 13 year old in a small copse of reasonably mature trees, 7 iron in hand trying to hit a ball that is burried at the stump of a tree, and play a low hook around the next tree and to fire it up the fairway - at this point I think my handicap was 20+ - imagine my fury and surprise when the ball didnt do what I wanted
I held the bottom of the club and swung it handle first at the nearest tree, never expecting to hit it. Anyway, I did hit the tree, I did bend the 7 iron, I did sulk like the immature boy I was, and yes I did get a good old fashioned bollocking from my mum when I explained how my 7 iron got damaged!

Although I did not witness this accident, it happened at a course 15 minutes from my home.
During a scramble one a member of a four some missed a putt. He swung his putter back wards in disgust, and hit one of his playing partners in the eye.
The damage was so bad that the guy who was hit eventually passed away.
Sad but true story.
Another story I heard, from a local course. A guy was pissed off about something, tossed his club. Club hit a tree, snapped in two, and one piece of the shaft hit another player and went into his neck. If not for some quick thinking that guy might have bled to death.
Both are true stories. Both are another good reason not to toss clubs, snap them over your knees thinking you are being smart. Swinging a club around while holding onto it because you hit a bad shot.
There is no place in golf for actions like that.
I whole-heartedly agree. Looking back on my actions, i was disgusted. And, since i have wasted $400+ on my anger explosions, i have vowed not to throw another club.

You really are dangerous to be around... I guess you should type in a small font in case one of us trips over something you say...

me and my family were on vacation in reno nv and we were getting ready to tee off when all of a sudden i see a all out of the corner of my eye, now mind you i see the ball before i here the word fore, the ball bounces off the cart path and hits my uncle in the chest and he goes down to his knees and cant breath, he left with one heck of a welt and and a bruised chest.
one more...
Me and my dad were playing golf at our home course and we had just teed off the first tee, as you go to the fairway from the tee you go down a pretty good sized hill, i was driving the cart and it was raining like crazy, i went down the hill at full speed forgetting the roads were slick, as we got near the bottom of the hill i touched the brakes and the back end started to fish tail, the back end kept coming around until we were completely sideways and then the tires found dry ground, it flipped the cart on its side, my dad bailed out and ran with the cart as it slid on its side but i hung on and went down and got pretty scraped up. everyone from the clubhouse and surrounding holes came over to make sure we were ok, i took hell from my dad for that but now its a memory that him and i can look back on and laugh. Good Times!
