True story about a guy who became so angry he threw his clubs in a pond and stormed off the course. A short time later they see him come back to the pond. They figure he has come to his senses and is going to retrieve his clubs. He wades out and finds his bag. He unzips one of the pockets and pulls out his car keys and then heaves the bag back into the water.
Pro golfer Zac Blair (for real) hit himself with a club, bent it, and not realizing the club was damaged, played with it. He reported it and was disqualified. A damaged club can only be used if it was damaged in the “normal course of play.”
Silly me, I thought bending a club out of frustration WAS “the normal course of play.”
Guy’s been traveling for some time out of communication with home. Finally gets to make a call and gets his groundskeeper, William.“How are things going?”“Not good, sir. Your dog died.”“My Westminster Kennel Club Irish Setter! How?”“He ate some tainted horse meat.”“How on earth did that happen?”“Well, sir, your horse also died.”“The one I was grooming for the Triple Crown? How?”“Well, he died pulling the water cart.”“What kind of idiot hooks a thoroughbred up to a water cart?”“We needed water to put out the fire.”“WHAT FIRE?”“Well, the candles for the memorial service caught the drapes on fire”“Memorial service?”“Yes, sir, your wife?”“What happened?”“Well, sir, it was all my fault. I heard someone prowling around, grabbed a golf club, and swung. Then I turned on the lights and saw it was your wife.”“Golf club? My. Tiger. Woods. graphite. driver?”“Yes sir.”[very long pause]“William, if that club is damaged it’s coming out of YOUR pay check.”

I gave it up. 18 holes of swearing became too much.
