DeChambeu smashes bunker

[Pin-seeker]

Oh very dear, seems damaging greens is becoming more a thing then, what's the odds nothing comes of it at all.

Poor from DeChambeau there and should be punished for it, I'm a huge fan of his but there is no defending that.

It’s embarrassing.
How can they think that this is acceptable behaviour?

Seems like a bit of frustration but straight away he repairs it back to normal

Least he didn’t leave it

Pretty bad that. Two weeks in a row from Bryson. Think him and Sergio need some anger management classes!

Literally no idea mate how they can think it acceptable, but shows that something needs be done this is 3 consecutive weeks now where incidents have occurred and twice with same player, words need to be had.

Yes he repairs it but frustrated or not shouldn't have done it in the first place and regardless tours need stamp down on this behaviour before it goes to far.

Oh dear

Can you hear that ? My headphones are on full volume and can only here a faint whisper from Beemer

It's not about the volume it's about what Bryson does in the back ground of the images. Let's say was a severe way to tap down a spike mark.

Was trying so hard to hear what he was saying, wasn't looking at the screen

 

[bluewolf]

Not that it's important, but was that on the course or on the practice green?

I did the same initially but then saw it in the big screen. Not good is it.

Oh dear

At least he repaired it! Not making excuses for that, but you maybe expect a brief head-loss from a youngster like he is, as opposed to a total breakdown from 40-year-old Garcia.

I saw a picture of BDC doing some late night practise in the pitch black, lit up by torches after a poor first round. He really does have a tendency to over-do things and overthink it which might be his downfall.

Practice green

I get it's their livelihood and so a lot on the line .

Nah I don't agree with this.

In 2018 DeChambeau won approx. $8m on the PGA tour, in 2019 he has already pocketed $1.7m

In 2018 the top 114 money earners on the PGA tour all earned in excess of $1m.

I understand that they have "overheads" like travel, agents, caddies and perhaps a generally greater expected standard of living and therefore associated expense than us normal folk, but over the course of a year the odd dropped shot here and there isn't going to seriously impact on their ability to pay the leccy bill.....and that's not even considering the money they rake in through sponsorship deals.

If I did that I'd expect to feel a tap on the shoulder and be thrown off whatever course I was playing.

 

[*TQ*]

What worries me (and it also applies to slow play) is the risk the general every day golfer at the courses you and I play will begin to copy what they see on the telly so they'll be taking 2 minutes plus to take a shot and then smashing the place up if it's no good. Yes the professionals are there to make a living and yes there are large amounts of money at stake but professionals in all sports also need to set an example and be role models.

I'd say it's worse if on the practice green, who loses their cool to that degree when missing practice putts????

 

[patricks148]

the guy is a tool, these two instances haven't changed my mind one bit

I agree completely it's bad on course but who gets that wound up on a putting green unless it was post round because he did it as soon as he was handed the putter.

He’s a grown man fgs.

 

[cookelad]

Not sure what's gone on here but, doesn't his caddy hand him the putter so he can smash it into the ground, had he already thrown it once?

I'll lay a quid now that he'll say he was testing the receptiveness of the greens. How the ball was going to respond etc.. That wasn't a loss of temper. That was deliberate..

If that were the case I think he'd have used his special "ball hammer" that he developed over the course of 18 months for such situations.

It measures green firmness, soil moisture content, sand percentage, worm cast ratio, root density and resistance to Sergio's shoes.
