“fricking Hunky-Dory”: D-III Golf Coach’s Profane Rant Is A Thing To Behold

"fricking Hunky-Dory": D-III Golf Coach's Profane Rant Is A Thing To Behold You could forward through the first 1:55 of this clip to get to the yelling and the screaming and the oh-so-many bad words. You could. But you shouldn't, because the buildup is what makes the explosion so great. Calm, helpful strategy gives way to praise for the one player who shot a decent round, to violently RIPPING the team a new one.

The D-III Hawks of Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala., traveled to Ohio for the Gordin Classic last month. It didn't go so hot; they finished 11th out of 12. On the bus ride back, head coach Matt Mahanic (who mistakenly believed the team finished last) tore into them. Someone on the bus was recording, and at least 10 email forwards later, it's made its way to us. Some highlights:

"That is fricking horrendous. Horrendous that nobody can shoot fricking par on that golf course. That is the most fricking embarrassed I've ever been in my life, having to walk around that fricking scoreboard and look at those other fricking coaches—fricking 11 teams beat us this week! Eleven fricking teams! Goddamnit!"

"I gotta fricking go up there and watch that bullshite you four call golf! Like watching fricking paint dry! My dad looked and me and said, 'Why the frick are you recruiting these kids?'"

"I'm ready to lose my fricking mind. There is no fricking helping you! ...fricking not a big deal, though. It's not a big deal. fricking hunky-dory."

"We fricking don't deserve shite. fricking—we haven't broke 300 all year. Four fricking chances in nice weather, and we haven't broken 300 yet. frick me."

"I don't want to hear a fricking word out of anybody until we get back to Kentucky[?]. Put your fricking headphones on, go to sleep, I don't give a shite. I had to watch you play golf for the last 54 fricking holes. Please do not let me hear your fricking voice right now."

All of which is to say, D-III golf is serious business. The Hawks would head to their next tournament in Florida...and finish 12th.

Mahanic is a great guy. This seems really out of character for him. He's such a good golfer and Huntingdon is normally good so I can see why he's frustrated though.

If his team doesn't perform, he'll lose his job. Why wouldn't he care? They do put it more work than most teams. Of course he's fricking livid.

It sounded like you knew way too much about them to not have played

A lot of their former players are members at my country club so I know a lot about the program.

And on that day, 50 fricks were in fact given by Mahanic.

Averaged out to about one frick given every 4.8 seconds. Here's to you coach, that was one fricking awesome (& hunky-dory) rant.
