Class, integrity are getting harder to come by now.

When Jack was 11, his father had an ankle injury and was advised to walk as therapy, so he started golfing again after having given up the game. He brought his son with him, and a career was born. That summer, his father observed Jack with his friends throwing clubs after a bad shot. He told young Jack that if he ever saw him throw a club, he'd never play golf again.
But funny to mention anger being reserved for the locker room. Too bad Wyndam Clark didn't wait until he had left the clubhouse.
