Whats your record of snapping clubs in a rage? Mine is a whole set, see if you can beat that. Hit every ball into the sea and threw my golf bag away. Can you beat that?

Can't beat it but sure can tie. What hole did you finally give up?
Me the 15th.

Me the 6th hole

I can honestly say that after golfing for 25 years I have never snapped a club in frustration. Never. I don't intend on doing it anytime in the future as I find it to be a bit immature to do so. If the game frustrates you that much then walk off the course and go home. At least your playing partners can play in peace and quiet then.
Snapping shafts costs money. Waste of money IMO. Plus what does it prove? That you can snap a shaft over your knee?

If you get frustrated over the game I feel it shows that you have a desire to be great at it. When I'm mad it's usually because I haven't played to the standard I can. Tiger gets mad just like everyone else saying he should just walk off the course and forget about the tournament?

GREAT Tigers GREAT, and yeah he may say he should have just walked off the course, but he doesn't, because he's got discipline. Can you really picture what kind of role model Tiger would be if he started throwing temper tantrums on the golf course. You want to be great, then learn from those who are great, with greatness comes responsiblity.

Aye was playing on my own and was wound up. I would never do that in a competition.

As many times as I have seen Tiger Woods act like an idiot on the course, I have never seen him snap clubs over his knees. Getting mad is one thing, acting like a fool is another.
He shows desire and passion to win, he does not show stupidity by breaking clubs.
Sorry, I disagree with you on the fact you have the desire to be great at the game. So therefore it is ok to break clubs when frustrated?
I am a decent player,single digit. I have a passion for golf (Otherwise I would not play 140+ rounds of golf in a season. I would not play golf when it is 0 C outside.) Yet I do not snap golf clubs.
It is one thing to show some desire to be better. It is quite another to show you are a hot head who breaks clubs.
Sorry but you can argue your point all you want with me and others. Snapping clubs does not make you a great golfer, or a passionate one for that matter.
If you think it does, ask Arnold Palmer what his Father told him years ago when Arnold threw a club.

No. When I can't do anything right, you better beleive that I'll still be at the range when it closes. Much more productive than club snapping.
