I think the professional game is a different story than the hacker game in this case, so I really like this thread idea.
Anger releases should never be the first resort, lets get that out of the way. You can't tomahawk the driver every time you miss a fairway. That's not good anywhere. In the amateur game I think there's really no place for this either. A bad day golfing is, and should always be, better than a good day anywhere else.
The professional game, though. We see pretty much EVERYTHING they do. They're bound to slip up, they are humans on the job after all. It definitely makes things interesting when they react. There's still no excuse for that kind of behavior, but I think the more telling thing about their situation is how they handle it in the media tent after their round. To an extent, I care a whole lot less about what they do anger-wise on the course than I care about how they handle questions about it. Some of my favorites are Stenson's no-look wedge toss and Rory's Doral toss.
