I don't think the pros should throw clubs. when someone that is not a pro does it I always think to myself your not that good, so why act like an ass when you hit a bad shot.

I was also glad to see Brian go. Believe it or not, I'm not 100% pulling for James to win. Isaac is my pick. I think he'll takeit all in the end!

Same here with James. He's a Nordiques guy, which is now the Avalanche so he has my back. Plus he's funny and has a solid game. Not sure if Issac will win, but I'd love to see him do it.

I was glad to see Brian go though. Poor sport and a Steelers fan to boot. Bleh.

Who was "Brain"? I don't remember him.

He used to work with Pinky ...

Hey.. uh.. Duckie.. could you do it??? Then sit down. Thanks.

I don't have a problem with someone throwing a club, as long as it does not damage the course or anyone around.

I don't throw clubs personally, but I play with some guys that have been known to let them fly. Everytime it happens I nearly fall over laughing...its just cracks me up for some reason.

There have been many a hot head on the professional ranks that have thrown clubs, but few people know that the Patron Saint of Amateur Golf...Bobby Jones was a club thrower in his youth (in his 20's).

He was once quoted about why he threw clubs:

"Some emotions cannot be endured with a golf club in your hands."

It's funny how differently we feel about club throwing depending on if we're the club thrower or the spectator.

I've been a club thrower, and I always want to tell everybody, hey, just look the other way, let me take care of this problem over here by myself, and everything really is all right ... but most people get upset over seeing someone getting so upset, and having watched other players throw clubs, I get that feeling.

There's no doubt that the guy who thinks he should be shooting 65 and is leaving a trail of clubs in his wake and he shoots another 95 ... that gets old. At some point, you'd think a player throwing multiple clubs a round would become ashamed.

My former CEO was one of the best club throwers and occasionally he would wrap his iron around a tree. He would be red in the face pissed, and I would be holding my breath trying not to fall over laughing. I believe I counted nine throws in one round.

But hey, it doesn't hurt my game and if anything its amusing to see one of my buddies that mad. I haven't really thrown a club in probably 5 years...although sometimes I am a little rough jamming it in the bag.

Totally agree, brian was a tool. He acts like a thug. Want the gental giant to win.........................

If I could play with them or not, acting like an ass is not what golf was. The throwing of clubs I think needs to stop. could I go out there an make an ass of myself? Yes I could but I would not ever do it.

Good point... acting like a jerk is never good...

That's mostly what I try to do when somebody else loses it: enjoy the show. It *is* pretty dang funny.

Friends of mine saw Pat Perez throw a mid-iron about 50 yards a few years ago at the Shell Houston Open. They say they didn't actually see Pat, they just saw the club come flying over a hill into the middle of the fairway.

Guarantee you it was this shot. (Wasn't even that bad really. Top comment cracks me up every time.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v..

I won' t play with club throwers. They affect the other players because we have to constantly worry that they will throw the club in our direction. I have had a guy throw his club repeatedly during a round and it was no fun at all. But the final straw was when he threw the club in so much anger that he didn't realize he threw it at us, the other players. We had to duck and dive as the club literally flew end over end over our heads. He did have the decency to leave at that point.
