Whether you’re a touring professional golfer, an avid amateur or weekend hacker, every player has hit a bad shot out on the golf course and felt the urge to wind up and throw his or her club.
Exhibit A: Matt Jones on Saturday after making par on the 11th hole at Bay Hill during the third round of the PGA Tour’s Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando.
“Matt a little frustrated there,” announcer Steve Sands said on the broadcast. “Did you hear what he said? He said, ‘I’m done, I’ve had enough of it.’”

Rory McIlroy dunks one at Doral

Tyrrell Hatton at a few places
As far as on-course blow-ups go, nobody self-deprecates better than Tyrrell Hatton. It’s an art form. Two years ago he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational after giving the bird to the pond on Bay Hill’s 11th and then doubling down by pretend shooting it with his club. At the Open last year, he flipped off a fan, then snapped an iron. He also did the following:
