Everybody gets angry or frustrated on the course. Sometimes you might even get enraged. This doesn’t give you an excuse to act like a gorilla and start throwing your clubs all over the place. Not only could you hurt another player, but you look like a Grade-A moron.

The best thing you could do is take the high road. Besides, golf courses have the right to kick you out if seen throwing clubs. Take some deep breaths, swallow your pride and take your triple bogey like a man.
