  LOL. I've definitely done that with clubs, putters, and irons IRL. Threw many into lakes and woods, too. I later found out it wasn't the clubs, or me.....it was the alcohol. I had to give something up.

  I sure miss playing golf now :-(

  We do know about the issue and are hoping to have a fix asap.

  I have found a cure Shoe (do I win a prize?)!!! It's the avatar, not the putter. I just tried 3 different putters, and all broke. I remembered that I changed my avatar right before playing, and changed it back, and all 3 putters stayed intact.

  This is a pretty valuable bit of info. Think maybe it worth a dozen sleeves of Cally 34....per week....for year?

  That's an interesting proposition. BUT-- there was a pro named Moe Norman (considered by quite a few PGA players today to be as close to God as Ben Hogan) who once played an entire course backward. He used his putter off the tee and his driver on the green, and scored rather spectacularly, if I recall right.
  
  In that respect, breaking the putter over your knee would be an overstatement ... and really wouldn't help your green work.

  FFS a putter throw button lmao .....

  I'd put up money for that .. 

  As for the broken putter animation - Pay peanuts WGT, you'll get monkey's. That is just the result of plain sloppiness and poor skills. That's not glitch or server issue creating that.

  It's funny, and sad at the same time. Well, pathetic actually...

  Until someone threw their putter in the the OB area and then had to buy a new one, or like the last ball notification,  this is your last putter, are you sure you want to throw it? Yes or No
