So a hyper competitive alpha like Giroux would never smash s golf club in frustration when he knows it'll cost him 5 minutes worth of his cheque to replace it?

Maybe he would, or maybe the shaft broke during regular use. Do you have anything to support your baseless conclusion?

As a Flyers fan (not that it makes a difference), I'd say it's safe to say he snapped it over his knee or slammed it into something after a bad shot. Glad he should be back to start the season at least.

Number of drivers I've personally observed breaking during regular use: <0

Number of drivers I've personally observed breaking during the period of white hot rage that consumes a man when his fourth straight tee shot finds the rough: 2.

I'm not saying he beats women. I'm saying the captain of the Philadelphia flyers might have it in him to break a golf club.

Wow. Did I seriously have to put that in green text?
