How much you want to bet that most of them where pounding beer and probably had more than a few to many. Seen way to many people play golf that the main purpose was not golf but an excuse to get drunk up with out the wife nagging them.

When I see a guy throw the club I remind him it is not the club that hit the bad shot it is the person holding the club. :laugh2:

Naw, it's gotta be the equipment...

I've found that to not always be true once I discovered MOI matching equipment instead of swingweight matching. I found that there was a reason why I flushed my 4-iron and couldn't hit my 3-iron at all. Or why I hit my 7-iron very well and struggled with my 9-iron and PW.

My anger subsided on the golf course with the help of that...and learning more about the swing. But, I also had one of those 'talks with myself' where I just said that I really didn't care if I ever broke a club, but getting angry almost never makes me play better.

If he was stabbed by someone I would agree. They are still sorting that out:

"But investigators said there is still some question as to whether the man was stabbed by someone else or whether he just fell on the club, as a caller initially told the 911 dispatcher."

Yeah, there just happened to be a broken club handy... sure there was...

Somebody deliberately broke that club to use it as a weapon... if there WAS a broken club laying around, it would be laying flat on the ground, and I can't see any way that a guy could get stabbed that way...

Besides, didn't the initial report state that the victim was stabbed twice?? Yup, just went back and read about it, and that's the case...

Sheriff's spokesman Terry Grisham told the Star-Telegram a verbal argument turned into a melee at the Golf Club at the Resort near Eagle Mountain Lake. Carpenter's leg was punctured twice, and though he was released from a hospital Sunday he expects to require more surgeries to keep the leg.

So, I guess the poor schlub fell on it twice, eh?? :D

This is a true story. One of my friend's brother slammed his golf club on the bench after his shot went into the woods. The shaft broke and flipped up; hitting him right in the heart. He was killed instantly.

that is as weird as Meta World Peace's story how on a playground game, one guy got so upset he threw a chair leg at his opponent and it got him right in the heart and he died, right there on the court

Rarely are shanked shot due to the club. Most guys who are throwing clubs are not hitting any of their clubs well. Guys go out on the weekend play poorly instead of like the guys they see on TV it is matching expectations vs skill level. I got better because I worked on my game, clubs I did not hit as well as I liked I put in the time to improve on them. You don't go out on the weekends and just play great golf.

I do agree about controlling anger. If I hit a bad shot I still get mad but I learn to put it behind me and focus on the shot I have coming up instead of reliving over and over what can't be changed which is your last shot. Good or bad shot I treat the same mentally as I know the next shot has now become the most important shot I have
