Any golfers...yall have bad tempers?

[Prayerz]

I feel your pain, My brother and I have golfed together for about 12 years, we usually go about 2 times a week when the weather works with us. Living in Michigan you have to take the whole winter off, sure there are times we play on simulators or go to the Dome but its not the same. I've seen and done it all temper wise on the course, only broke one club on the ground when i was 16 and that was after a qualifier in H.S tourney.

My brother and I go out and usually have a awesome time, drink beer maybe smoke a little. We are both really competitive though and usually shoot around the same. All the anger is usually at the start of the season because golf is all about tempo and taking the winter off does not help. Ive seen him (my brother) take a swing at the cart take a peice of plastic out of the side, break a club on a tree....lol...there is this course that has a wooden bridge about 4 feet high and you have to make a 90 % turn, we were pretty well buzzed and he was pissed and tried to take the turn like jimmy johnson and well damn near flipped us over, we had to get out and lift the donut end up and get it back on.

Slow play really gets up ticked off too. You can be a bad golfer and still play ready golf. One thing I hate is to watch a guy set up like he is on the PGA tour, stand behind the ball make 15 practice swings, throw grass in the air to judge the wing, then hit the ball 30 yards worm burning and repeat that process all day.

Just a few of my favoite things;) Golf is truely one thing that I truely Love in life.

I golf way to much according to my wife, I have thrown clubs before out of anger but that was many years ago. I believe golf has many lesson to teach an individual. I quickly learned once the club face strikes the ball any violent reaction will not make the next shot any better. Now if I could only deal with the mental side I would be a better golfer.

Haven't done it yet and I suck at golf.   

Although my brother has a very "awkward" stance when hitting off of a tee.   Quite hilarious actually, one time he swung too fast, the ball went about 15 feet.  The Driver went about 50 yards, dead nuts down the fairway.   

I immediately felt bad as I had to laugh, but in doing so showered the golf cart with JW Black Label.    I don't think that cart moved (I was driving) for a good 10 minutes.

Not golf, I learned my lesson with tennis.

I was playing in a final against a really good friend and rival and both of us had bad tempers.  About 13 at the time.

By the time we finished the entire crowd had all left in disgust.  My mother was waiting for me in the car.  She cried and said how ashamed she was that her son had behaved that way.

Never happened again.

uhh nothing like that, lol.  at worst i'll merely drop my club (not toss, drop) or smack it down on the ground with middlin' force.  i will toss a ball into a pond or somewhere sometimes (cheaper than tossing my putter).

I'm pretty much the same way... I have little money for a new club; you can tell my $80 set is well used

Get your blood pressure checked, stress test, even if you are in great shape as you see it- hypertension is very common when carrying any high lofted clubs..
