Good question!! The worst/funniest situation I have seen was this. A friend I was playing with on the first hole hit his second shot towards the green. The ball hit a sand trap rake in front of the green and made a 90 degree bounce into a lake. On every hole after that, every rake that he saw, he grabbed the rakes and kept banging them into the ground and then throwing them. Finally a greens keeper came along and warned him to lay off the rakes. He did give the rakes nasty stares after being warned!!!!!

Hilarious, Bob! Wish I had seen that.

I have a good one that, luckily, ended well. I was playing with a buddy once in California. We had taken a cart and I was sitting in the passenger seat, with my right elbow resting over the armrest. My buddy hit a shot sideways and lost it. He stormed around the back of our cart and took a swing at his bag, which was strapped on the passenger side. He skanked this one, too. Instead of hitting his bag, he hit the funny bone area on my right elbow. Worst pain ever. I thought I was on fire and the elbow swelled up immediately, even though only the club shaft made contact. If the clubhead had gotten me I would have been in big trouble. The up-side, though, is that my buddy never acted out in anger again on the golf course. He's a great player and he only got better after that learning lesson.

Playing in my first ever 3 day member/guest tournament a few years ago and playing with this member for the first time in a tournament like this. A buddy of mine hooked us up.

On the first day of the 3 day, after a few holes of hitting some bad shots he went ballistic on his golf bag first and then started kicking the golf cart we were riding... And i won't repeat the words that came out of his mouth...

It was a LONG and quiet weekend between us....

I have NEVER in all my years of playing golf seen anything like this... It was bad and not memorable..

Though I did not see this, I am sure you guys have heard the story about the guy who duffed a shot into a water hazard and then threw his club into the pond he was so mad. Then, he dropped a new ball and did the same thing. Then another with the same result. Then he got so made he threw his whole bag into the pond and stormed off the course. A few minutes later he was seen coming back to the pond, wading in, finding his bag and pulling it to shore. He went inside a side pocket, got his car keys, and threw the bag back in and left. Never played golf again. (Must have been playing TM's!)

Bob is a fun guy I play golf with many times. He's a good ol' guy- a 12 handicap. Him and I were partners in a match against Steve & Marcus. I'm playing Marcus and he's playing Steve. We were cruising and playing pretty fast. Bob wasn't really playing bad, but Steve was on that day. Right about the fifth hole, par 5, in the spirit of moving along, Bob pitches his third and snuggled it about 5 inches near the cup, but it was before Steve's 60ish yard approach shot. Steve hits his shot- hits Bob's ball and in the cup Steve's ball went!

Our club is a very serene no traffic runs by, you could hear everything... Bob yells out at the top of his lungs and said... "No'l hold me back, I feel like breaking a club. STEVE give me your club!"

About a year ago my son and I were playing . I hit a great shot down the center of the fairway and as we were riding up to it a crow flew down and picked up my ball in it's mouth. I chased it waving a club, luckily he flew towards the green when he dropped it. Got an extra 30 yards on that trick.

this is a great topic lets get this rolling!
funniest I have seen was in our club championship last day about 10 years ago. I was done and having a cold one and with the final group coming in last hole we all decided to go out on the deck and watch them putt out. Knowing that the winner was coming out of this group should be good right....??!!!! They all stroked their putts and one guy 3-putted to loose by one. The comebacker he missed was a foot at best. after he picked his ball out of the hole without hesitation snapped his putter in 2 over his knee and threw it backwards with the ball into the pond that protects 18 green. Yells to the putter I got the last laugh @#!$!....... then calmly took his hat off shook hands, marched to the pro-shop to buy a new putter within no more then 5 mins jumps in his car and leaves. Doesn't stay for a beverage.....it was the most legendary walk off i have ever seen.

There's a guy I play with who is as strong as an ox. He's got a very short temper, and there's three moves he pulls when his game eludes him.

1. The cart kick. He sulks over to the cart, slams his club in the bag and proceeds to kick the cart. Usually just once, very hard, right above the tire. Then the expletive filled rants ensue.

2. The interior cart stomp. Same as above, except he sits in the cart, calm for a moment, and then he stomps the floor of the cart by the pedals between 3 and 6 times. There's less swearing, and more self loathing in this maneuver.

3. The cart shake. This is my personal favorite. He grabs the roof of the cart with both hands, lets out a large growl and then shakes the cart with all his might. I happened to be sitting in the cart during one of these tantrums and it seriously felt like I was in a washing machine.

Tantrums are far from my style, but when you play with this guy, you pretty much have to expect it. You should also walk unless you want to get flung like a rag doll during an unexpected cart shake.

I was playing in a member guest as the guest last fall. Both myself and my opponent were playing great. We battled back and forth all match trading birdies. We were having a good time joking about how our match had basically turned into a 1on1. We ever started sining "All by Myself" by Eric Carmen as our respective partners proceeded to lose Pro V's by the dozen (ensuring Mike, Rick and Abby have jobs for years to come).

It comes down to the last hole, we're square, and I'm in for par. My opponent has a slick down hill 10 footer for bird. He lips it out and it squirts to about 4 feet. After giving us the puppy dog eyes for a moment, he realizes that he's got to putt it to halve the match. You can tell he's nervous over this little guy. My opponent waves his partner out of the cart for a read. They walk around the putt a few time, he lines it up, puts a good stroke on it, but misses on the low side. The tension builds as he white knuckles his Scotty realizing that 3 jack just cost them the daily cash.

His partner, who's basically sat in the cart the entire round yells "Way to miss it on the amateur side ya loser." The tipping point reached. With a loud and enthusiastic "F*#% You!!", he hurls his putter at his parter, who makes the most athletic move of his round, dodging the helicoptered Scotty like he's in the Matrix. The putter flies into the woods with a crash. His partner hops in the cart, flips him the bird, and drives away- stranding him yet again.

My Partner and I can't help it, and just start cracking up. Our lonely opponent heads into the woods to look for his putter. We found the mangled shaft, but no head. He hitched a ride to the clubhouse on the back of our cart only to find the rest of his bag in the trash. Needless to say he wasn't pleased.

I'm. Not proud of the display I put on....but the result was priceless!! Playing in a college tournament more years ago then I care to remember...I was faced with a 140 yard carry over water to a front pin location....after choosing mt weapon of destruction carefully, I proceeded to skull the shot magnificently,,,,, as I was withdrawing the offending weapon from the turf...as I had buried it halfway up the shaft...l looked up just in time to see the last skip of my ball across the water climb the slope and roll into the cup for an eagle.....
