Don't think I made a u turn but imo slamming a wedge down in the fairway is a lot less reprehensible than doing it on the green.
Banning him or anyone from the next WGC for that is a non runner - a fine possibly but no a ban.

You just don't seem to know if your coming or going... The OP is about the slamming of the putter by the hole on the putting green.
Moving on you said the "we" who we critical of that should "back off"... Phil called you on it and you made a complete U-Turn.... and we are back live and your talking about a wedge in the fairway? I can`t keep up.

I can understand your frustrations on the subject. But the lad is 23 and will learn how to cope with these aspects of the game! End of day, yes he needs to curb the temper with the club throw and that - but these people are humans not robots -sometimes emotions get the better of you - think about it next time you get road rage or stressed at work!! I'd rather them show some emotion unlike the old robots of the world ie. monty and the like!

For smashing his putter three times into the Green ?? DId you see it ? It was shocking from a pro or from anyone , anywhere. It sends a bigger message if you let him get away with it.

I have no idea what Rory or Rahm did but it doesn't matter what you age is any golfer is taught to show respect to the golf course and golfers.
Slamming your putter down on the green is disrespectful to the course and the greenkeepers that worked very hard to prepare those greens.
Should be punished for it - the dropping and throwing the club is just as poor - and he isn't some new player to the game. He has been on tour a number of years.
His behaviour yesterday was the worst kind of teddy throwing and sanctions should be applied

Hatton did the same last week after missing a short putt on the final day.
Are we banning him for a week too? Or do we need to measure the indent made into the greens and have a predetermined dent allowance?

Dear Points of View,
Couldn't help but be outraged to the virtual point of combustion by the performance of Mr J Thomas in that golf thing-er-me-do last night. An utterly appalling state of affairs that should immediately invoke the banning of all forms of the game. Not seen anything like it in all my days.

When Rory was acting like a knob people were saying "he's just a kid" even into his 20's.
Where's the same line when someone else does it?

How about the Tours should fine the pro's for "ungentlemanly conduct" like this and the proceeds should go to the marshalls and green-keepers.
That should p$ss them off enough to stop them doing it.
(just don't watch me play!)

I can recall when Rory both snapped his club , toothache and threw the club in the water he was criticised for it
Thomas stepped it up a level with the smackin the putter numerous times on the green possibly causing damage and then launching the club into the crowd. If Rory had done either he would have faced the same response.
Does anyone think it's acceptable behaviour ?

Rory is European so doesn't get any abuse on here.

Yeah for doing that.
Maybes someone have a quiet word with him, or maybes a fine.. But suggesting a ban is a bit harsh in my opinion.

I understand that everyone has a different and perhaps more tolerant view on these things than me but i know that if i did that at my place in front on anyone on the committee I'd get kicked out of the club , i have no doubt about it . Greens are sacred in my opinion.

Can't find one anywhere at the moment. Shame , as i'd be interested to hear everyone elses opinion on this.
