15 Most Notorious Golfing Tantrums
Golfย maybeย 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 flagย poleย 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 couldย possiblyย be known more for his outrage on the golf course than his game. Austin has hadย severalย outbursts during his time on the tour, but this one is the most memorable.
Austin broke hisย clubย after beating it against his head a few times after aย terribleย putt which makes this the most "bone-headed"ย moveย of his career.
Elin Uses One of His Tools -- a Golf Club
2 of 15The wife of the world'sย formerย No.1 golfer Tiger Woods used a golf club toย smashย openย 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 withย again.ย
Charley Hoffman Tosses His Putter in the Water
3 of 15After missing two highlyย makeableย putts, Charley Hoffman must have thought that he would be better off without his putter for the remainder of the afternoon. Hoffman decided toย launchย 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 thisย sceneย 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 toย settleย in after he shorted yet anotherย chipย shot.
Garcia went to town onย theย course, whacking it repeatedly until he almost broke hisย 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.ย
Tiger Woods Blow Up Compilation
7 of 15Tiger Woodsย is knownย for three things: being an outstanding golfer, sleeping with a million women, and yellingย profanityย on the golf course.
This complication is only a few of the thrilling moments when Tiger lost his composure, but itย neverthelessย serves its purpose.
Tiger Woods Losing His Cool at the Masters
8 of 15One more Tigerย explosionย would notย hurt, would it?
Will Ferrell as Tiger Woods
9 of 15Will Ferrell always seems to get involved with the ESPY's, but thisย maybeย hisย bestย appearance yet. Ferrel excepts an award for Tiger Woods and then gives a speech pretending he is Woods.
JUST GO HOME!
10 of 15Happy Gilmore strikes again, but withย compellingย reason. Gilmore yells at theย ballย telling it to "go home" after missing a putt, and then almost kills the camera man after he decides toย throwย the flagย poleย immediatelyย after.
Kevin Chappell Doesn't Like His Shot
11 of 15Dropping an F-bomb should make your ballย goย whereย youย want it, right? Wellย that'sย what Kevin Chappell had in mind after this ugly shot.
Woody Austin Throws Tantrum
12 of 15Woody Austin was at theย veryย respectable score of -9 when thisย outburstย occurred.
Austin missed aย challenging 4-foot putt which lead to him tossing his ball into the water, and then he proceeded to take aย freeย hackย 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 mostย sensibleย thing to do would be toย breakย hisย clubย right in half.
Stenson appeared to have cut his hand in theย processย which is something that willย undoubtedlyย hinderย yourย performanceย as a golfer.
Happy Gilmore You Suck You Jackass
14 of 15This Happyย Gilmoreย sceneย is one of the best in the movie, and it leads into what is the best tirade in all of golf.
Bob Barker and Happy Gilmore Fight
15 of 15If the UFC was around during Bob Barkersย time, he might have taken up a career in fighting instead of broadcasting.ย Barker and Adam Sandler duke it out in one of the funniestย fightingย scenes of all-time.
