Its differnt when you are the only one that is doing it

The fact that no one else gets 1/10th of the exposure makes this statement absolutely absurd. There are tons of pricks on the tour. There are guys who spit on greens every week. There are guys who cuss out people in the crowd every week.

The difference is that those guys are losers, so they are never anywhere close to being on camera.

I've personally watched several Pros act like a bunch of @#$holes on Thursday at the freakin' Zurich Classic. One guy used his club to sling dirt and debris on two kids (one boy, one girl) both under 7. Saw another guy berate a fan because the fan coughed while he was doing his putting routine. He wasn't even close to being over the ball, just lining up behind it and checking the line. I've seen another guy throw a Scotty Cameron Futura into the side of a green (back of putter stuck in green where it was standing up on it's own) because he was mad that he didn't get his putt past the fringe. Several other players throw wedges into the grass around the green having the putter stick up after flubbing shots. Players hit a bad shot on a tee box and then immediately either pound the ground like a 2nd grader or swing the club back and forth taking out grass on the tee box.

I saw all of those things happen in 2 days in the last 2 years. I can't imagine what happens throughout the rest of the golfing year.

All of that stuff would be considered "douchey". The problem is that the only player from above that I could remember is Ian Poulter because his annoying parents were chasing him around saying "play well, Ian" in there stupid little English accent. The rest were a bunch of losers who I had to look up there names and have since forgotten.
