15 Most Notorious Golfing Tantrums
GolfĀ maybeĀ known as a game of etiquette, but that does not mean that it has not seen its fair share of tantrums.
Tantrums that include breaking and throwing clubs, swearing, ball tossing, and even an occasional flagĀ poleĀ throw.
Golf has seen a fair share of these incidents over its long history, and we are here to take a look at 15 of its best; enjoy.
Woody Austin Breaks Putter on His Head
1 of 15Woody Austin couldĀ possiblyĀ be known more for his outrage on the golf course than his game. Austin has hadĀ severalĀ outbursts during his time on the tour, but this one is the most memorable.
Austin broke hisĀ clubĀ after beating it against his head a few times after aĀ terribleĀ putt which makes this the most "bone-headed"Ā moveĀ of his career.
Elin Uses One of His Tools -- a Golf Club
2 of 15The wife of the world'sĀ formerĀ No.1 golfer Tiger Woods used a golf club toĀ smashĀ openĀ a window of his crashed SUV, and then pulled him out of the vehicle after that turbulent early-morning accident in 2009.
That will probably the closest thing to golf that Elin will ever associate withĀ again.Ā
Charley Hoffman Tosses His Putter in the Water
3 of 15After missing two highlyĀ makeableĀ putts, Charley Hoffman must have thought that he would be better off without his putter for the remainder of the afternoon. Hoffman decided toĀ launchĀ his putter in the water, and did it without hesitation.
I'm not sure what he used for the remainder of the round, but I'm guessing that he missed a few more putts.
Happy Gilmore-Swearing
4 of 15Happy Gilmore maybe a fictional player but his outbursts are the best that we have ever seen in golf.
He puts Tiger Woods to shame when it comes to screaming profanity on the course, and thisĀ sceneĀ is a perfect example of that.
Sergio Garcia Loses His Temper and Does a Happy Gilmore
5 of 15Sergio Garcia is arguably the best current player without a major championship, but the frustrations of not having one began toĀ settleĀ in after he shorted yet anotherĀ chipĀ shot.
Garcia went to town onĀ theĀ course, whacking it repeatedly until he almost broke hisĀ club. Hopefully Garcia can break the spell soon or else we might be seeing a few more of these meltdowns in his future.
When Golf and Soccer Collide
6 of 15A Liverpool bonding trip to Portugal in February 2007 went badly wrong when Craig Bellamy allegedly attacked team-mate John Arne Riise with a golf club.
The next night, the two combined to score the winning goal and Bellamy celebrated by swinging an imaginary golf club.Ā
Tiger Woods Blow Up Compilation
7 of 15Tiger WoodsĀ is knownĀ for three things: being an outstanding golfer, sleeping with a million women, and yellingĀ profanityĀ on the golf course.

JUST GO HOME!
10 of 15Happy Gilmore strikes again, but withĀ compellingĀ reason. Gilmore yells at theĀ ballĀ telling it to "go home" after missing a putt, and then almost kills the camera man after he decides toĀ throwĀ the flagĀ poleĀ immediatelyĀ after.
Kevin Chappell Doesn't Like His Shot
11 of 15Dropping an F-bomb should make your ballĀ goĀ whereĀ youĀ want it, right? WellĀ that'sĀ what Kevin Chappell had in mind after this ugly shot.
Woody Austin Throws Tantrum
12 of 15Woody Austin was at theĀ veryĀ respectable score of -9 when thisĀ outburstĀ occurred.
Austin missed aĀ challenging 4-foot putt which lead to him tossing his ball into the water, and then he proceeded to take aĀ freeĀ hackĀ on his golf bag.
Henrik Stenson Breaks His Club in Temper at the 2011 US Open
13 of 15Henrik Stenson was not happy with his shot, so he thought the mostĀ sensibleĀ thing to do would be toĀ breakĀ hisĀ clubĀ right in half.
Stenson appeared to have cut his hand in theĀ processĀ which is something that willĀ undoubtedlyĀ hinderĀ yourĀ performanceĀ as a golfer.
