Something needs to be done about Sergio Garcia’s attitude

Once again, Sergio Garcia has been caught acting like a child who was told no.

Sergio Garcia’s attitude has long been a topic of conversation. There is now a new addition to the list of his antics, and this one revolves around an incident that occurred at the British Open during Sunday’s final round.

His round started off good, with four pars in a row. Then it happened.

After smacking his drive WAY left, Sergio picked up his tee and started walking down the tee box towards the fairway, all the while still holding his driver. That wouldn’t last long though, as he would chuck his driver behind him and to the right, smack dab into his caddie, who also happens to be his brother.

As you can see from the video (make sure to keep a close eye on the head of the club) Sergio chucks the club with some gusto without much thought about who it could hit. It hit’s his caddie with an audible thud, and even causes a reaction from the fans.

I don’t understand why this continues to happen. Sergio Garcia is no longer some young hotshot, trying to compete against the vets and constantly being compared to Tiger Woods. 20 years ago he chucked a shoe into the stands at Wentworth in England.

Heck, it’s been nearly 12 years since he was caught spitting in the cup at the CA Championship.

Six years ago, he drew attention for saying he would serve Tiger Woods fried chicken every night. At least he apologized soon after for that one.

Clubs that he has thrown into the water. Destroying microphones. Blaming Tiger for taking a club out of his bag. Blaming the grounds crew for fixing the course but taking too long.

Then this year already, he was DQ’d at the Saudi International for losing it in a bunker.

Why do the golf governing bodies continue to allow Sergio to act like this?

My son is 3 and a half years old. He is starting to pay way more attention to the people I watch on TV, constantly asking questions. I don’t want him to have anything to do with someone like Sergio. Actually, that’s not true. Sergio Garcia gives me a constant and perfect example of how you should never act, at any point, in any place, at any time.

Most of us have played with people who act like this. I know people who are prone to acting like this on the course, and I try to avoid golfing with them whenever I can.

I’ll admit, I personally struggled with my temper coming out of high school on the golf course. I was competitive, I didn’t like failing or losing, and golf would get the better of me.

After talking with some of my friends and people that I would play with, it made me reflect on how I acted. No one wants to play with someone who acts like this, and it makes the game less fun for everyone. So why do it?

I’ve become a better golfer since then, and I can’t remember the last time that I lost my temper on the course. Sergio has been doing this professionally for 20+ years, and he still hasn’t figured it out.

The good news is, Sergio Garcia ended up shooting a 78 during the final round of the British Open, dropping all the way to 67th place. Someone needs to do something about his antics because the entire golf world is tired of watching him. A fine isn’t enough. He needs to be seriously suspended from play, possibly even from next year’s British Open.

I’m tired of Sergio Garcia. He has a worse attitude than my son. His excuse is that he is not even four years old yet. What’s your excuse, Sergio?
