Justmy2cents gave me an idea with a thread he had, and someone responded about Tom Weiskopf and his temper. I am looking for responses to the craziest, stupidest and/or funniest response you or another golfer you witnessed or heard about had on the course or soon after ( some of those 19th hole exchanges have been classic).
Got a story to tell? I'll put a couple later in the thread but don't want to over lead the discussion.

About 15 years ago I'm waiting to tee off on the first hole. Numbers one and 18 are side by side. This kid wearing a Metalica tee shirt and sandles is teeing off in the group in front of us. It's obvious he's out of place on the golf course.
Well he proceeds to hit his tee shot..... it's a low hooking squirter heading towards the 18th fairway where two guys are standing. Now this kid actually got into this one so it's screaming towards these guys at Mach 1. The kid knows he's supposed to yell something but he obviously can't remember the universal yell for INCOMING!!! So with a crowd around near the clubhouse he yells at the top of his lungs the first thing that apparently came to mind...... DUCK Mother Fu(&^%*errrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
Fortunately it missed the guys.... but I'm rolling on the ground laughing as is everyone else with the exception of the group of Baptist ministers waiting near the clubhouse.

I was carrying a bag at the Heritage ProAm 15 years ago. Craig Stadler was the group's pro for the day and wasn't playing particularly well but at that it was still a practice round so no harm no foul right? Craig siddles up to the 14th teebox and proceeds to dump his teeshot into the pond on the par three. Without missing a step he starts beating the piss out of the tee box marker with his 7 iron then onto the post holding the trash can and everything else that was nailed down. His club looked like a shred of aluminum tinsel and he was a bit red in the face from the effort. The rest of the round was played in absolute silence from EVERYBODY. Stadler missed the cut 2 days later and was in a rather foul mood as he was slamming the trunk closed on the rental car as he left according to witnesses that watched him depart.

I used to play on a public course called Lake of the Woods. My group was behind another group in which one of the men was having a lousy morning. A pond ran along the left side of #5 off the tee, fronted the green on #6, a fairly long par 5, then along the right side of the 8th fairway.
This golfer hooked 2 shots into the pond off #5, then dumped at least 3 more on his approach to the 6th green. We could hear his screams from 200 yards back up the fairway. They finally cleared the pond so we made our layups and waited. When this guy finally holed out, he walked back to his cart, grabbed his clubs and tossed them into the lake, then stalked angrily toward the clubhouse.
We played 6 and 7 and were on the 8th green when we saw the man walking back toward the pond. We figured he'd cooled off some. Instead he waded into the pond, brought his bag back to shore, pulled out his keys and tossed the bag back into the pond.
Me, I've only smashed one club. My brother slapped me so hard I never even considered losing my temper on the course again.

I personally do not have many stories to add. Just a few club smashes on the turf. My father on the other hand is famous for punching the steering wheel of the golf cart and "Hammer Throwing" his driver. He should be recognized by the Olmpic Committee. We were at an outing in the Fall of 2005 here on Long Island. We arrive at the 3rd tee box and a slight breeze blows a brand new Taylor Made Burner Driver out of the tree and right in front of me. I pick it up, put it in my bag, and continue with my round. A few holes later we find a driver broken in half neatly placed in a garbage can. Upon finishing the 18th hole, I proceed to the clubhouse to turn in the club that i had found on Hole # 2 or 3. I went back to the course a few weeks later to see if it was claimed by anyone.It was not. When I turned in the club, I left my name and number with the proshop. They awarded me the club.. Funny thing is.. I couldn't hit the damn thing either!!!

Since I don't have a good story about me, I'll tell about my husband's Craziest anger reaction.
He was in the Red Hawk tourny's finals, which he had never made before. He was so excited. As he came out of the club house, he missed the bottom step, fell and hit his ribs on a 6in concrete drainage curb. He jumped up, embarrassed and mad for missing the step. He played 18, in PAIN, placed 4th. He then went to ER to find out that he had three broken ribs. Couldn't play for six weeks, doctors orders.
