Angry Golfer!

[HRC99]

I played in an Am-Am some years ago with a friend and two people we'd never met before.

My friend was off 6 and developed the shanks out of nowhere. He'd hit a great drive, splitting the fairway, then...shank. Into the trees.

This repeated itself for almost every hole.

By the time we had reached the turn, he was at breaking point and was using absolutely every possible swear word in very unusual and colourful combinations.

Noone dared speak to him as it was like watching a car crash over and over again. As the shots racked up so did his swearing in volume and profanity.

What made it particularly special was the dinner in the evening. Everyone was in their best bib and tucker at the tables, when the MC asked for Reverend So and So to say grace. At which point, one of our playing partners stood up and my friend nearly died of embarrassment. We'd had no idea we'd been playing with the local priest!

Or buy him the book, Golf is not a game of perfect

I'm about to start reading it for the second time. It's a great read if anyone hasn't read it yet. Rotella knows what he's on about if you ask me.

If he gets so aggressive and upset then I think he's playing the wrong game.
Sure we aren't full of the joys of spring when we hit bad shots. We all feel angry, disappointed. Still, it's no excuse to rant and rave using bad language so loud that other people can hear and are possibly distracted by the antics.

Give him the heave-ho. Tactfully tell him that his behaviour is not acceptable on a golf course. Get the other 2 players to back you up. Stick together with it and he should get the message to go easier or go away.

I think you need to tell him to wind his neck in sooner rather than later. If it goes on it will inevitably end up in front of the committee or captain and you could well get into hot water by association. Tell him, play with him for a couple of rounds and if he doesn't get the message find someone else to play with. It can't be good for your game despite you saying it doesn't put you off

Played with a chap like this the other week as I had taken my mates spot in his four ball. The fella whom I know was swearing and stamping his clubs about when playing bad, the worst part was I was on form and looking like winning the comp, ended the next with a triple!! I told my mate afterwards I won't play with that fella again, unluckily I have just drawn said fella in a match play comp!!!

I finished 3rd in a comp I should have won.

Buy him Alice Cooper golf monster book there's a story in there about an angry golfer that you should underline where he was told " you're not good enough to get angry!"
