Rock - Are you referring to Dorothy Mantooth? DOROTHY MANTOOTH IS A SAINT!
(Great movie, that).
Personally, I try not to swear loud enough for the other guys to hear it. I too realize that I am not a pro, and even they make mistakes. As Hogan said, he only hit a few good shots a round. I have never thrown a club in anger. I might toss a wedge from the green to the fringe before heading to a putt, but that is a gentle, underhand toss, not a hurl.
I am quite a perfectionist in normal life, so it is very difficult for me when I "screw up" on the course. Also, I haven't played as much this year as I used to, so I am not playing up to my full capabilities. That is a bit frustrating as well. What I try to tell myself is that each poor shot leaves me a chance for a great next shot. And sometimes it really happens!
